Hello Drew,
unless you check “Enable quality switching: (beta)” in the YouTube box of FV WordPress Flowplayer settings, it’s handled automatically.
That means you have to enter fullscreen mode to see the HD quality. I tested this in different browsers (OS X 10.9.5) and here are the qualities which it offered:
* Firefox – hd720, medium (using MP4 format)
* Chromium – hd1080, hd720, large, medium, small (using WebM format)
* Chrome – hd1080, hd720, large, medium, small (using WebM format)
* Safari – hd720, medium, small (using MP4 format)So it appears YouTube API does a lot of decisions what format to send to what browser. This is not in our control. This might also differ for each video. In the past, they probably had no videos in WebM format as it was all playing in Flash. In surprised to not see the full quality in MP4 format though.
Thanks,
Martin
