I am on 0.17.5 on an Nvidia Shield Pro.
Since the last app update, there have appeared two bugs when using movies that have multiple versions.
Bug 1:
I follow Jellyfin's recommended naming standards - if I have a movie both in 1080p and 2160p, there are two files inside the same folder, with the version names after a dash in each filename. This works perfectly in that Jellyfin recognises them correctly and shows them as one movie with two versions to choose from.
For whatever reason, Jellyfin always chooses the 2160p version as a default; that is, when I tap/click on a movie, it shows me the 2160p version pre-selected. This happens both on the Web and on Android TV.
However, on the Android TV client, if I hit play straight away (with the 4K version seemingly selected by default, but not by me), it plays the 1080p version. This is confirmed in many ways: resolution reported by the TV, visible quality, audio is that of the 1080p version, jellystat shows it's playing the 1080p file and if I look at the cache I can see the 1080p file only being cached. So, the movie details screen shows the 4K version, but the 1080p version plays.
If I go into Versions and select the 2160p version (even though that's being shown on the movie details screen), the screen does a kind-of scroll animation thingy, and again, it shows the 4K version is selected. But this time, if I hit play, the 2160p version plays.
So, when I open a movie details screen, even though it shows 4K, I have to go and select it, in order to actually play the 4K version, which I assume is not intended behaviour.
Jellyfin web works fine in that regard - it shows the 4K pre-selected, and pressing play plays the 4K version.
Bug 2:
Sometimes, but not always, when I exit a movie (that has multiple versions) while it's playing, I will see two or three instances of it on the 'continue watching' section. One will be the 1080p version and one will be the 4K version. There may be a third one, which may be either one of the two again. This most certainly did not happen before the app's last update, however I have noticed when it happens on Android TV, it also happens on the Web too.
I am not sure if logs would help in this situation, however I am happy to provide them if they would.
