Resolution: "Auto" option should reflect current playback video resolution
Describe the feature
I have set up 2160p as my default resolution in Preferences. But during video playback, no matter what video I play, "Resolution" option in the sub menu always displays "Auto" which is not informative. It would be useful to display current video resolution, something like "Auto (2160p)".
Why would this be useful to add?
It is useful to know which video resolution is being played, especially if "Auto" option is selected.
Concept(s)
I imagine it to be something like this:
First of all, it should reflect the mode selected (Auto), and also the current resolution (2160p). If manual mode is selected it should just show selected resolution.

Just came across this. To add another layer of ambiguity, if you switch from Auto to the resolution you've set as your default, the player seems to load it afresh instead of doing nothing, so you're never sure if your default resolution was actually playing.
The issue of author is not about the default resolution. It's about the lack of information of what "auto" actually is. What resolution is the video is in right now ? It shows me "auto". So, which res is it set to ?
