Adding 144p in video playback definition

[jscoys 143]

Hello! Have a special request!

 

I use my windows mediabrowser server in two different coffee shop (shared wifi) :

- one on weekends with 240p definition working very well and smooth on both Iphone and IPad

- one on weekdays at work between noon and 12:30 to see an episode of my prefered manga! And there, it's really laggy because of a lot of users on the same wifi connexion (an episode of 20 minutes could last 35 or 40 minutes due to buffering breaks).

 

So could you add 144p in resolution in the web client? We would have the choice and anyway this resolution is already available on Youtube (working great on the second coffee shop) so why not in media browser?

 

Thanks a lot for this little feature for all coffee lovers ;-)

Could you even make out the image at that resolution?

Yeah I know resolution is low, but Youtube can, so yes we can ;-)

Would depend on the device e.g if I view a 144p YouTube video on my laptop then you can't really see anything but on a smaller screen it's not as noticeable.

Ok on iphone and IPad 144p playback is correct. Anyway it's Less a quality question than a bandwith usage. In current situation, I can't see videos on my HTPC on some public Wifi, and I guess I'm not the only one in that situation. All is needed here is to add 144p under 240p, just to help me and other guys connecting outside home with very bad bandwith allocation. I don't think it's an issue to implement that, and maybe we already wasted more time to deal with that subject than the implementation itself : it's really a quick win feature!
