[Feature Request] Version selector: Show filenames instead of quality

[bolhaskutya]

Feature Request

• Show filenames instead of quality like “1Mbps, SD”
• Showing filenames would be much more useful
• Prefixing filenames would allow infinite customization

Language Prefix Examples:

• [EN] Better Call Saul s01e01 Uno
• [FR] Better Call Saul s01e01 Uno

Video Type Prefix Examples:

• [WideScreen] Better Call Saul s01e01 Uno
• [OpenMatte] Better Call Saul s01e01 Uno
• [Stereo3D] Better Call Saul s01e01 Uno

Everyone could tailor versions to their own needs.

More Info in "Play Version"

So my mom was trying to watch Return of the Jedi the other day, and she complained that the version I have is “the one with all the stupid cartoon stuff.” Of course, I know I have both the special edition and the theatrical release, but over the phone I was unable to direct her to the right version. Ultimately I deleted the special edition from my server entirely to avoid confusion in the future, but this presents a problem. The information provided by the “Play Version” modal is not particular…

Therefore this one is closed.
