Laracast videos constantly play at 360p for me?

EDIT:

So after playing around with it i noticed if i set the video quality to 2K it immediately plays fine with no buffering and no more 360p, but If i set the video quality to 1080p it goes right back to 360p. Hrmmm..

End of edit:

My laracast videos mostly play at 360p for me since i signed up.

My net speed in 29mbps down (speedtest.net). I manually set the video quality to 720p so it's not on auto, but it still makes no difference it stays at 360p, it may briefly run at 720p for a few seconds then switch back.

Surely it's not a speed issue? But even if it was then it should buffer if it's set to 720p and not revert to 360p.

I have no issues watching minimum of 720p anywhere else.

Hoping someone may have a solution? Is it only me?

It's too blurry to watch at 360p

I have no issues with playing it a 1080p what so ever.

me neither. Try different browser maybe?

Thanks everyone, i tried a different browser made no difference.

It plays perfect 1080p if i manually select 2K,

plays 720p if i select 1080p,

Then the rest auto defaults at 360p.

I guess it's something on my end. Tried a different browser and it' s the same.

At least i can watch it now, i just have to manually select 2k.

Thank you for your help everyone!

I don't even have the option for 2K the default is auto for me, and then it goes to 1080/720...
