  • Patent number: 10638168
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for detecting a minimum viable display resolution is provided. The present invention may include measuring a first quality indicator of a received video file in an original resolution of the received video file. The present invention may then include measuring a second quality indicator of the received video file in a newest resolution of the received video file, wherein the newest resolution of the received video file is a lower resolution relative to the original resolution of the received video file. The present invention may further include, in response to determining that the measured second quality indicator of the newest resolution does not meet a threshold associated with the measured first quality indicator of the original resolution, discarding the newest resolution of the received video file and storing at least one viable display resolution of the received video file.
