    Hi!

    First of all, thanks for a great plugin. It’s one of a kind!

    I use your plugin with FFMPEG to encode videos but I have a problem. I’ll try to explain.

    Our users use iPads and iPhones to make movies with and then upload to our site. Depending on iPad/iPhone version, most users upload 720p mov files. The problem is that your plugin seems only to look at the size of the movie, so it won’t encode 720p.mov to 720p.mp4 with h.264 headers for streaming, which means we have to wait for the whole movie to download.
    I’ve set the settings to encode videos to 360p and 720p.
    And since the plugin choose the highest quality, this is a problem that I haven’t found a solution to.

    My question is; is there a possibility to force the encode even though it’s the same resolution. The second (which might be easier), is there somewhere in the code that I can change the player to choose the lowest quality (we encode to 360p as well, which is enough) for playback?

    Thank you!

    Yes, there is definitely an option to force encode the same resolution. It’s called “Replace original with same resolution H.264.” It’s the first choice in the encoding list. Am I misunderstanding what you’re asking?

    I am (slowly) working on a new version that includes the option to automatically select the lowest quality video for playback. If you want to live on the edge you can try the development version on Github.

    Version 4.5 of the plugin was released today and has an option to automatically select the lowest quality video source for playback.
