# Cannot set the quality

 * I upgraded ARVE, and now I cannot get the same ability to see the videos at the
   720p that I want to.
 * The code below used to work to set the video to 720p
 * [arve url=”[https://player.vimeo.com/video/237013467?quality=720p” autoplay=1 %5D](https://player.vimeo.com/video/237013467?quality=720p” autoplay=1 %5D)
 * Now if I embed it myself, it does work.
 * <iframe src=”[https://player.vimeo.com/video/237013467?autoplay=1&quality=720p&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&#8243](https://player.vimeo.com/video/237013467?autoplay=1&quality=720p&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&#8243);
   width=”1000″ height=”553″ frameborder=”0″ webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen
   allowfullscreen></iframe>
 * But it’s not nearly as responsive with different browser types.
 * So is this a new bug with the latest version, or some change by vimeo?
 * Essentially, this article from Vimeo doesn’t work with ARVE:

 * Its all in the docs. [https://nextgenthemes.com/plugins/arve/documentation/](https://nextgenthemes.com/plugins/arve/documentation/).
   Also please read the sticky posts on this forum.
 * This should be the shortcode to use.
 * `[arve url="https://vimeo.com/237013467" autoplay="yes" parameters="quality=720p"/]`
    1. You should prefer normal urls instead of embed code urls, ARVE will create the
       right iframe src for you
    2. parameters can be set withing the url query parameters shortcode attribute **
       not** at the end of the url they can also be set on the ARVE options page
    3. Autoplay is handled separately form that because ARVE sets it based on several
       other conditions and modes automatically
    4. Also note that mobile browsers prevent autoplay and I recently read even chrome
       sets restrictions on autoplay like if tabs opened in teh background they do 
       not autoplay or all autoplay videos get muted, something along these lines. 
       This are restrictions ARVE can not overcome.
    5. I am not sure how Vimeo compares but I know that you cant rely on the quality
       setting for YouTube, they abandoned support officially and their players auto
       adopt to the best quality based on video size on the screen (it switches to 
       HD if you go fullscreen). My guess is video does the same thing but not have
       extensively looked at this. I personally would not bother about such a quality
       parameter because this hosts specialize in video delivery and I trust their 
       defaults more then forcing something that may make no sense. Just IMO.
