[Feature Request] video codec priority for playlist downloading #175

Closed soredake closed 8 months ago

soredake commented 9 months ago

Description

With the rise of AV1 encoded videos on youtube i think there should be a "video codec priority" option for playlist download, this will help device that can't decode hardware av1 (most phones/tablets/non-recent gpu|igpu).

How this option should look like in interface: https://codepen.io/dsenneff/pen/JjNPJer/b2bc0298b73dd5605f45828df3b61dd4

yt-dlp has lots of options. If I keep on adding these options, the app will keep getting more complex and heavier. That's why I provided the option to use configuration file where you can add the necessary things. You can add the necessary options to the config file. Here are the docs related to Sorting Formats - https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp?tab=readme-ov-file#sorting-formats

Yes, you are right, config works fine.
