Low-Latency HLS stream playback issue on iOS 26

We have a Low-Latency HLS stream, and on iOS 26, even though the bandwidth is sufficient, it still selects a low-bandwidth resolution (e.g., RESOLUTION=640x360) for playback instead of using a higher-bandwidth resolution (e.g., RESOLUTION=1920x1080) when using AVPlayerViewController with AVPlayer. This works fine on iOS version 18 and previous versions. What could be the solution to this issue?

Hello,

Did you find any solution about that?

We have similar problem on tvOS 26. I also have created post which is https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/804985
