🐞Video playback resolution ignored

[LPChip]

Concise Description

I have my browser in a VM, and I play youtube through it. Its set to 720p, and I use the extension to set it to 720p also.

When I go to a new video, it is automatically set to Auto (720p) which is not 720p btw. After playing the video for a few seconds, youtube changes the playback to Auto 480p, then a few seconds later to auto 360p. I then manually have to switch (for every video, I may add) back to 720p and the video plays just fine. Once I switch it off auto, it does no longer change.

Don't know. I only recently started to use a VM, but its probably happening for a long time now. It just never was an issue.
