Also checked the stream in chrome as well as my phone, the quality is extremely better than what I get with Twitch GUI

in the livestreamer log

You are using Livestreamer instead of Streamlink. The Livestreamer project is dead since more than two years and doesn't work properly when selecting certain stream qualities. Streamlink is the continuation of Livestreamer and Streamlink Twitch GUI has switched to Streamlink one and a half year ago and only supports Livestreamer for compatibility reasons.

The stream quality mapping can then be precisely configured in the settings menu.

Thank you! Lol I discovered Twitch GUI through a year old youtube video that used Livestreamer, my bad. switched to streamlink now but also managed to fix the issue while using livestreamer by adding "810p60" to the Source Missing translations in the Twitch GUI Streams tab

Yeah, it's a bit unfortunate that these video creators are telling their viewers to install Livestreamer instead of telling them to follow the official guides: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink-twitch-gui/wiki

If you're adding this quality name to the Livestreamer quality mapping, then it'll only work for this explicit quality and not for similar ones. That's why you should be using Streamlink, so that you can define a range of streams that will be matched by the quality selection (exclusive selection).
