What functionality would you like to see added?

With youtube adding high quality and Hulu and BBC iPlayer both having high 
quality versions 
available, some way to pick to watch these would be awesome. I know for youtube 
for example you 
just have to go to a slightly different link (something to do with =18 I think)

Thank you very much for an awesome plugin
It's really progressed a lot.

I looked it up - for youtube you have to add &fmt=18 to the end of the link
Thanks again

sorry - fmt 18 isn't the highest quality - you have to add &fmt=22 for that

do feeds always refer to the lower quality version of videos?

how do you choose the quality level? some feeds keep starting and stopping due 
to server load.

YouTube is supposed to automatically select the optimal video quality, so I'm 
not changing the default behavior. I have added a hidden preference to override 
the default setting. If you want to set this do the following:

1) Open Terminal.app
2) type/paster the following line and press enter
defaults write com.apple.frontrow.appliance.understudy YouTube -dict-add 
quality 'default'

This actually tells Understudy to use the default behavior of YouTube. To set a 
specific value, one of
'small', 'medium', 'large', 'hd720', 'hd1080', 'highres' can be used. Those are 
listed from lowest to highest resolution.
