Traffic Shaping - Limit bandwidth on streams not working

Question

Hi XG community, I want to limit traffic on youtube/netflix streams to the lowest quality possible. I have created the traffic shaping policy, used it in the webfilter category with the two domains(youtube.com, netflix.com). The firewall rule is standard LAN to WAN with the webfilter. But I can still watch videos in 4k. 
 Maybe someone can help me here, 
 Regards Philipp

Edit: 
 I probably fixed it by creating a traffic shaping policy for applications and using it on the category "streaming media" in the app-filter. 
 I didn't know accessing a website with a web-browser is being recognized as an app by the XG. 
 Now the problem is when I wan't to make it user specific I have to create a new firewall-rule for every different user/group. 
 Edit2: 
 The only problem is you can't restrict it to users, groups, time and quota settings like in the web filter. 
 Streaming media will always be limit by all users/devices in the linked firewall rule. You have to create extra firewall rules for different app filter settings.
