Description

Resolution switching based on resolution of video. Refresh switching would be nice too.

What do you by "resolution switching based on resolution of video"?

And I have to research more about refresh rate switching.

Some docs on refresh rate switching for my future reference:

Basically like refresh switching but for the resolution of the video. So if a video is 1080 then it will set the screen to 1080p resolution. This is done so the display can do the upscaling and not the device.

From my research it seems that resolution switching on a per-app basis is not well supported or documented. Supposedly, Plex and Kodi use some old/unsupported APIs to do it, but there's references to Android 12 supporting it somehow. But I cannot find any obvious APIs.

I think a better way to ensure your TV does the upscaling would be to globally set the device resolution on the Android TV device: Settings->Device Preferences->Display & Sound->Resolution. But some devices don't support this.

So with all that said, I don't think I plan to pursue resolution switching.
