Does it select low quality when you're on Wi-Fi, or on cellular?

That's a good point - I pretty much always use cellular, so I wonder if the quality cap for the mobile player is there as a misguided attempt to reduce data usage. Would make it more understandable, if no less irritating.

It could also be throttling via the cellular provider or ISP. Try with a VPN and see if it still happens.
