Hey thanks for you suggestion I am literally waiting on myself for this as well…. The thing is that our addon here currently uses „the best available all in one audio and video stream“. Unfortunately, for YouTube this is just 720p. For everything else YouTube is offering a separate audio and video stream which must be muxed together by the player. Fortunately, Kodi offers this capability in form of a (per default installed) addon named input stream adaptive. Unfortunately, it is not super easy to implement.

We have issue https://github.com/firsttris/plugin.video.sendtokodi/issues/34 to track that and I just started to do research on the topic last week but I am also trying to finish my phd this summer - so help or even PRs are highly appreciated.

I am closing this issue as we already have the other one (maybe should redefine the title) and I hope that’s okay for you. I am trying to work on this but I can not promise anything right now.
