Hello, in Open-in-vlc settings, it will be great to have option "play in vlc the video with the lowest quality", for example on this site :

https://v5.voiranime.com/anime/kimetsu-no-yaiba-4-vf/kimetsu-no-yaiba-4-08-vf/

Because the extension always shows me 2 m3u8 streams, so i choose a random m3u8 stream, and even in the media info section in vlc, i can't knows if i'm playing the video with the highest quality or the lowest quality so i can make mistake and play a stream that has the highest quality.....

i have an old laptop, old hard drive, not very powerful connection, so it is important for me and probably for many other people not to make a mistake and to be able to easily download the video with the worst quality to preserve our bandwidth, time, hard drive durability, battery, energy.....

and so it will be great please to add a video quality indicator on the m3u8 streams, maybe by adding an option like the one in the 3DYD youtube source plugin which has an option: "probe each stream found during the analysis (probe limit per stream (milliseconds) : 300 to detect the video quality and automatically display the desired video quality, thank you very much !
