Chose which file is played when playing a version

Hi,

if I'm not mistaken (I have made several tests) when playing a version (either by playing it directly on Ftrack on in a session review), the file played in the web player is not the original deposited file but the mp4 preview version encoded by ftrack. I suppose that the aim is to save bandwidth, but this can be inconvenient as a client will not see the original file but a lower quality one.  

Would this be possible to chose which version is played, both directly in Ftrack and in a client review?

Hi Francois,

This is done both to save bandwidth but mostly to ensure that the video is encoded in a way that can be played back from a web browser. You can enable so that the clients can download the original version: http://ftrack.rtd.ftrack.com/en/stable/using/reviewing/client_reviews/using_review_sessions.html

Yes, off course. This so obvious I don't know why I didn't thought to it.

Thank you for your answer!
