Also eliminate duplicates. Don’t need to see a everyone’s individual copies of Iron Man, just show me one, then pick from the host that has the lowest latency and highest quality.
Edit: don’t even worry about latency if it’s not live
If there is high demand for certain titles, duplicates could help avoiding overloading a single server; but making sure we dont end up with more copies than the demand is definitely important.
More copies is good, I just don’t want to see duplicates in the UI. Show me what movies are available, but just stream whatever copy has the highest quality.

I’d go fewest hops and then if all else is equal highest quality.
I wouldn’t mind duplicates but they should be consolidated under one listing with a dropdown to switch between them
