Dawn Video/gif low resolution

Videos and gifs seem to have a very low resolution. The content looks very pixelated.

What are your selected options under data usage in settings?

I've just been in r/gifs and checked several posts here with different settings and everything seems fine. I've tested latest master, tough. Just send one or two links to threads where you sure this problem occurs so we could start somewhere

Dawn version: 0.9.2 Remark: I am on wifi, hence data limit cannot be the problem.

This video is available in fullhd, so this is probably caused by exoplayer selecting lesser-than-best resolution from DASH playlist. I think we need to implement manual quality selector somehow or at least force exoplayer to pick max resolution when data saving conditions aren't met

implement manual quality selector

Though I think it's a bad idea to do this before new player UI is implemented, so I will investigate second option

video is available in fullhd

Though If you play it in fullscreen, there is still pretty heavy compression artifacts. Example from best stream downloaded by youtube-dl:
