Hi, My question is when there are multiple resolutions out there, such sd, 720p or 1080p, how does a DLNA client manage to choose the one of them like the official Plex client do? Thanks

&nbsp;

ps: Currently I use Windows Media Player and Android DLNA client (not Plex for android) and have no choice for this

You might get more useful feedback by posting in the [DLNA Subforum](http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/forum/113-dlna/). Channel development is entirely abstracted from client implementation and DLNA is a completely different scenario altogether.
