This also happens when the video was just uploaded recently and YouTube hasn’t finished encoding all the different resolutions.
YouTube needs more potato

First time it’s happened to me but I’ll take your word for it. As of tonight, it’s been up for two days and has 14k views. I figured it was either something transient or YT was applying some traffic management during peak demand.

Ok if it’s up for two days and still not showing better quality than something different is going on. YouTube is typically pretty fast with encoding videos and most of the time all resolutions are finished between 15min and 1h after uploading the video, so it’s maybe not that in your case.

Usually this happens when the only resolutions available are the ones shown (typically because it’s an older video)
Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It would be odd to show resolutions not available.

I think it was posted within the last week. I remember the HDR processing wasn’t done processing the first time I tried to watch it. Would I be complaining about the resolution of a video from 2007?

You probably didn’t watch enough ads for crap you already bought

Haha, 144p @ 60hz is fricking hilarious.
Reminds me of seeing completely rubbish resolution real player videos embedded in websites back in the late 90s and me thinking, “Well that isn’t ever going to take off”.

I think you called this, or at least you came closest. See edit #3 in post.

Thank god for the Nvidia Shield Pro and SmartTube.

Yes, I am obviously the problem with my inferior equipment and stock software. By all means, show us how it is done. youtu.be/oMMf_K_P-no

Well, my shit TV was the problem. I meant no offence, buddy. The only way to solve the issue for me was to throw money at it. Show me an affordable smart TV that can stream 4k out of the box, day or night, with no buffering, I’m your guy. Or am I reading too much into this, and do you really just want me to photograph my TV while it streams that video in 4k?

Yeah it’s a long HQ video so it takes a while for YouTube to process, wait a week and see.

I love basking in the vivid, radiant luminosity of a potato.
