So get this. The videos linked at the top (related video shorts section) indeed show up with an entirely different player, which has 3 quality settings.
But if you click on the videos embedded in individual reviews, like here: http://i.imgur.com/MfcUpM1.png http://i.imgur.com/MfcUpM1.png, you will get a different player that has the awful quality and no quality settings.
So it seems Amazon does have an idea about how to handle video, but hasn't figured out yet how to update its site in the most important place where people actually view video reviews - the reviews section.
- maherbeg 10y agoThe video pipeline for the video shorts section is different from the reviews section. The reviews section is an older video pipeline not optimized for today's video streaming needs. Whereas video shorts was purpose built with a much improved encoding pipeline alongside the video player. Unfortunately that team hasn't moved to using the new pipeline and re-encoded their videos. The older pipeline is basically in maintenance mode. (Source: Worked on the video shorts team)
