Is it possible to enable resolutions greater than 1080p? #7087

I am a user of the Freetube app which uses video.js as its video player. Sadly, freetube doesn't support resolutions higher than 1080p and according to its developper, the limitation come from video.js (in this github issue). Is it possible to add support for higher resolutions? And if not, what are the issues that make is infeasible/impractical?

We do support resolutions greater than 1080p. Reading the linked issue, it sounds like the higher resolution renditions are only available in DASH as webm renditions? Theoretically, with recent versions of our playback engine, we shouldn't have an issue playing those. It'll make it easier to figure out what the issue is with a sample stream and if newer versions can actually play this back or not.

Hi, I saw the same issue on FreeTube's GitHub (am also a FreeTube user). Here is a video that has 2160p as highest possible resolution on YouTube but only 1080p in FreeTube.

Please let me know if you would like me to do any testing.
