Detecting maximum playable resolution for various devices

  • When playing higher resolutions, the video player will sometimes stutter, lag, or display a black screen. In some cases it may fail to load the video as well. This maximum resolution varies between devices and browsers. Is there a way to retrieve the browser's maximum supported resolution, or if not, a test to correctly diagnose a lagging video? I have tried polling the video time and checking it against the clock time, but this method doesn't catch every test case.
