Presumably the lack of option goes for other platforms that the YouTube app is on as well.
I have a 100mbps connection, both PS3 and PS4 wired to my router, and I can barely seem to get what looks like 480p quality whenever I watch a video. Very, very rarely do I see it jump to 720p, at most.
On my laptop, I can stream 4K on YouTube really smoothly, even over Wi-Fi! So what's the problem? Is the PS4 (the platform I use most) throttling my internet speed? But then, Netflix on the PS4 allows me to stream in 1080p/5.1 sound without a hitch.
On the browser version of YouTube, in the user settings there are options to defaulting to HD video, so I'm stumped as to why this option is missing on the console YouTube app.
I can bring up an HD video on my laptop, streams smoothly without a hitch. Bring up the same video on the PS4 in the YouTube app, and it barely scrapes 480p.
I can't be the only one who has this issue? Does anyone have any tips or ways to fix it? As it stands, the app is super useful, but the lack of HD playback is really killing it for me.
