Can I change the video quality when downloading from ph? I want to download 240p, 360p instead of 1080p

Hey,

currently there is no "out-of-the-box function" to confugure this. The main intend was to downlaod the best possible format :) - I will create a config entry for this ASAP. Since I am very busy at the time this need some time :/

But you can modify the code (1 line) to get what you want as a workaround: -> To change the quality of the downloaded videos you need to tell youtube-dl that you want a specific format. you can do this by editing the "project_functions.py" and modify the function that returns the youtube-dl config array (line 2251). If you change the line: " 'format': 'best' " to " 'format': mp4[height=240] " it should work :) -> If you want 360p you need to change the 240 to 360 ;)

I will leave the issue open until I added the cli / config option for this :)
