Support 4K streams

[2-4601]

Yle Areena sometimes offers 4K streams.

For example: https://areena.yle.fi/1-64123652 (Note that the stream expires after the event has passed but you can probably find another 4K example with an upcoming match.)

The stream has the following remark about 4K quality:

"Tämä lähetys on Suomessa katsottavissa uudemmilla äly-tv-laitteilla 4K-laatuisena, mikäli verkkoyhteys on riittävän nopea."

[ghost]

Do the 4K streams play in the browser like the other resolutions? The note about smart TVs is just an uninformed oversight and doesn't imply that YLE has attempted to restrict the streams with a DRM-like measure?

[aajanki]

Does anyone know if it possible to find streams that are available at 4K resolution in Areena? I can't find any currently. The stream mentioned in the original post was expired before I had a change to take a look at it.

[aajanki]

I'm closing this issue for now. I'll get back to this if/when Areena starts servering 4K resolution more regularly.
