Add option to choose worst video quality ou best video quality in sites other than youtube

[trimechee]

Hello, in facebook :

https://fb.watch/tHhh1ttHk3/

and other sites, the difference in weight between 360p and 1080p video is huge on mail.ru site and I tried to play this streaming video with QMPlay2 but my laptop is old low cpu and low internet connection so I deduce that QMPLay2 chose the best quality 1080p and we hope QMPlay2 will give us the choice to choose 360p quality please, thank you very much!

You could download the video with yt-dlp and then play it with smplayer

Hi, many streaming video has m3u8 hls format and i can't any more watch preview the video while downloading, my sister uses HDMI to watch streaming video in her tv and connextion is sometimes weak, wainting the finish of downlods takes many time

Hi, at least in linux you can preview the .part files or fragmented progress files with smplayer and mpv, if the file is downloaded with yt-dlp. You dont have to wait until it finishes the download

You can select most formats, but some urls, like m3u8 does not have much options. yt-dlp.exe -F your_url shows the formats
