I'm not certain exactly what you are describing. How are you changing the resolution of what you're watching? What are you using as your player?
Serviio profiles do not alter the output resolution. It can reduce bitrate, but that in itself doesn't change the resolution. It can change the video codec, but that might only change the resolution if you are watching a 4K video and need it transcoded to MPEG2 (for example). Serviio doesn't know what resolution your TV is capable of. It simply determines the TV make/model if possible and looks for the closest match in its profiles file. The profile is what tells Serviio if transcoding is called for and what format to use. Once that's determined, it simply transcodes the file in real time and streams it to the player. As you've noted, it uses a temporary folder location for those transcoded files. If you stop and start the video, it will continue to stream using those transcoded files. But if the stream is stopped and then you select a different video, or a different player begins streaming the same video, those transcoded files are deleted and it begins anew.
