Picking the Right Version

The first important thing to check is if there are multiple copies of a file (movie/tv episode). Often, I will have a 4K copy (harder to stream) and a 1080p/720p copy (easier to stream). The way you do this differs a bit depending on if you are on mobile or the website or your TV, but generally the pattern is something like this:

Media>Menu>Play Version

For example:

Generally Speaking a version with a lower resolution and bitrate will be easier for you to stream. So with a choice like the below, you would opt for the 2.2Mbps file, vs the much larger 24.6Mbps file.
