Can't turn quality down lower than 480p whilst ads are being blocked

[HanPrower]

Browser: Firefox 99.0.1 Addon: v5.4.1

Bit of an odd one, I guess, but a bug either way.

Still seems to drop down to the lower resolution after blocking ads, however.

Does make me wonder if a mid-roll happens if it turns the quality up to 480p 🤔 Generally not physically watching a stream when I've set it to 160p to notice.

Also seeing this.

Chrome: 100.0.4896.88 & 100.0.4896.127 Extension: 5.4.0

The reason this happens is because there was a bug under firefox where the stream would break (audio normal, video frozen). The fix requires changing the resolution to 480p while ads are playing. As such you can't change it off 480p during the ad.

It would be possible to skip that code on chrome as it doesn't have the playback bug that happens on firefox. But firefox requires that code.

I'll look into this soon (for Chrome).

I'm noticing quality locked to 480 while an ad playing also - Firefox 100

I experience the same issue, but if I select 1080p (low latency or not), then in a few minutes it'll switch to 1080p.

Based on what I've looked at in the code, the extension will set the quality to 480p until all ads have been blocked, and then sets it back to the original quality.

Mine will go to 480p but won't ever return to the original quality? Even after an hour or what not. Second I re-select 1080p within 6 seconds its back 480p. Annoying cause game looks awful lol.

@cleanlock FYI this will still occur on Firefox as the forced resolution change is still enabled there (to fix freezing issues).

Oh, good to know. Thanks for the info!
