1. Currently, changing the codec for Prime-related downloads takes six clicks and an F5 press, moving the codec selection next to the "downloadable videos ( n)" button (like in the picture attached) would reduce the number of clicks to two and eliminate the need to manually refresh the page altogether (refresh could be caused programmatically if the selection in the drop down box is changed).
2. The Mbps value presented in the download configuration box in the video settings is pretty meaningless as it only conveys the bandwidth demand expressed in the manifest, and has little to do with the size of the video track being downloaded. A much more meaningful measure of the size of the video track would be to take the last value of segmentURL.mediaRange (ISO/IEC 23009-1:2019, section 5.3.9.3.2) of the chosen adaptation in Prime's mpd manifests.
3. When AS re-fetches the page with more episodes that are disclosed by Prime initially (the Dick Van Dyke Show, for example) the history gets updated with page refresh which renders it impossible to use the "back" button to... well, get back as that just starts the re-fetch cycle again. It'd be great if the automatic re-fetch didn't cause the ''visited" history to be changed.
