The new app only has “High” “Medium” and “Low” settings for download quality. This may be find for some but one size does not fit all. Please re-add the capability to set the specifics of the download quality. Hide these with an “advanced” section if need be but the “you get what you get” mystery ap…

It’s been 4 months. Your public release still doesn’t show the actual quality. Also your documentation downs have what those terms actually mean. Just a hey low is 480 -.7 mbs, med is 720 2mbs, high is 1080 8mbs. How hard is that to just put out. I get your trying something new. But plex users are …

the ‘quality’ settings do absolutely nothing, and a download i did for my kids increased in size from the original 7.2gb 4k video to a 7.7gb 4k file, for a several year old tablet that is just a few pixels over a 1080p screen

I’d love to be able to help, but I’m just another user, like yourself. It would probably be best if you created a separate forum post (tagged appropriately with iOS, Android, or both) and detailed your problem. What you did, what you did it with, what you expected to happen, what actually happed, …

that’s great but the options now DO NOT function regardless of quality setting it downloads the same size(even larger than original)/resolution video…

Right, which is why I suggested you create your own forum thread about it. It would likely get more eyes on it because this thread has been marked as solved. That’s because the original question has been answered (Where are the advanced settings for download quality? Planned but not implemented y…

fair, i found another more recent thread and posted in that, thanks

Do you mind sharing where? I just came to the forums to ask about this setting and if it could be explained more. This article ( https://support.plex.tv/articles/download-ios-android/ ) leaves a lot to be desired when explaining the settings here. I have an iPad Pro, and I have zero idea what “low/…

Noticed something interesting… the L/M/H quality settings appear set to target a specific output file size, rather than encoding bitrate/resolution. A 30-minute TV Episode and a 2-hour movie both come in at ~500Mb with Low, and they both also come in at ~4-5Gb with Medium (which sucks when the orig…

+1 At least let us know what low, medium and high actually means and if it is possible to control these. Also, if a video is converted to a larger size than the original it should prefer the original and drop the converted one in my opinion.
