(Bug) Inconsistent quality setting and actual quality in player

Server Version#: /
Player Version#: 10.0.0.3954 (<- beta! Didn’t test release version yet, but most likely no different)

The bug is actually a bit more exciting than the title says, but I couldn’t make up any better title, so better stay generic than be over-specific :)

The longer title would be: Plex for Android plays the original resolution of a video when it is queued (using “add to queue”), but playback settings show the quality setting of the previous video.

So as it happens, when you queue a few videos, then notice, Vodafone DE is not in the right mood to provide you with the internet speeds you would have by contract, you reduce the resolution. Typically this is 4mbps for me, so PMS starts transcoding and everything is fine again (as in no buffering). Video ends, next video starts, but starts buffering right away. Looking at the quality settings, it states “4 mbps”, but the video definitely is in the original 4K. If I would be able to reselect the 4mbps, I would consider this a mere glitch, but the Player firmly believes it is playing 4mbps and therefore I can’t reselect the 4mbps. Workaround is selecting another resoltion (e.g. original) and then 4mbps again.

Whole lot of text and no images, but tbh I don’t know of any useful screenshots. If you do need a particular screenshot/video (or any other information for that purpose), I’ll be happy to provide a bit more context here.
