Does anyone have an idea of what sort of files i need to get the addon to let me stream in various formats/resolution?

When i tried the addon for the first time a while ago it would ask me to choose my preferred resolution.

Now it doesn't at all, it just plays the original.

I ticked the option to get it to ask in the addon settings but it never gives me the option anymore

does this have anything to do with the files themselves?   what type of file/encoding should i aim for to get this.  its very important and useful to me because of bandwidth and data caps

Same here.

Since Kodi 19 Matrix, the addon doesn't ask for a preferred resolution anymore.
I uninstalled the addon and re-installed.
I even re-installed Kodi (on my PC, to test).
