576p video analyzes as 480p

Plex Media Server

I’ve begun making 1024x576p encodes as a balance between SD and 720p. I chose that resolution because in the Plex Web library filters drop down for Resolution, 576p is present and in that spot. Yet, if you import such a movie, it always claims 480p.

Here’s the ffprobe output for the latest file I observed that on:

  Stream #0:0[0x1](eng): Video: hevc (Main) (hvc1 / 0x31637668), yuv420p(tv, bt709), 1024x576 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 383 kb/s, 29.97 fps, 29.97 tbr, 90k tbn (default)
    Metadata:
      creation_time   : 2024-02-02T19:05:45.000000Z
      handler_name    : VideoHandler
      vendor_id       : [0][0][0][0]

I want this fixed because I want to distinguish among my low-res files. True SD is materially different from 480p, and 576p is a distinct upgrade from 480p.
