Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for media quality selection of media assets based on internet service provider data usage limits. One disclosed technique herein discusses receiving a data usage limit from an internet service provider. The data usage limit includes maximum data usage for particular user account data. A media asset is selected from a media streaming server that includes a plurality of qualities having respective data sizes (e.g., for video quality—4K, 1080p, etc.) A determination is made whether a selected data size from a selected quality of the plurality of qualities of the selected media asset exceeds remaining data of the received data usage limit. If so, a request is transmitted to the to the media streaming server to retrieve the selected media asset with a quality having a data size smaller than the respective data size.
