As per the title. Is it ever going to be available to us lowly users. There is still the option to enable in settings, but it still does nothing. From previous responses from ninjas and staff they get to see it, but not regular users. ---

Why is it so hard to get answers (on what seem, at least to me) to be simple questions… ---

oh well, as per usual, nada from plex, well I guess I will just keep on talking to myself. It would be really useful to have this feature back especially now we have the connection checking in the Android TV app, as we could then easily see the impact when you choose to switch quality. without having to delve into menus. ---

Thanks for the response, but this feature has been mia for a long time now. And if the ninja’s have it surely it is just a flag somewhere, so still struggling to understand why it is still not enabled for the rest of us. The functionality must already be in the app itself. ---

Because much of the information is/was actually wrong. and it took a long time to get it correct. Did not want folks doing things based on incorrect data ---
