Question: Does it stream audio or both? #9

Nice project. Does it streams a complete video and plays in the background, OR it only stream audio(if that is possible)?

I'm asking this to save bandwidth.

It streams only audio, because I select only audio streams. Of course, if audio is not available, it will stream audio + video. That is up to YT streams.

I put 1 stream quality, but @arafsheikh added more (141 and 251).

You can track network usage in current implementation and later you can change tags to stream both video & audio. After that, compare it to see the difference.
