Unable to control video quality #251

Open aspera7 opened 7 years ago

aspera7 commented 7 years ago

When passing an url to youtube video for example, it doesn't seem possible to control the stream quality. It might be possible via command line, but I couldn't find out how to do so. Any chance for stream quality selector in the GUI?

You need to do it from the config file. For example, in mine I have "ytdl-format": "bestvideo[height<=1080]+bestaudio/best", which means that youtube-dl (the software used to stream) will grab the best video under 1080p, and the best audio track if they're separate.

@Thirsk that's a nice fix. I wonder if there is a way to flexibly support that syntax in the UI.
