Low Audio Quality #1294

Open RGBCube opened 1 week ago

Checklist

Steps to reproduce the bug

Listen to any song in InnerTune and then on ViMusic and notice the quality difference.

Expected behavior

Better Quality music.

Actual behavior

Low and murky quality music.

InnerTune version

0.5.3

Android version

12

Additional information

Even when the Audio Quality setting is set to High, InnerTune still fetches murky audio. I have tried the same song in ViMusic, and there it is definitely higher quality. Maybe the YouTube Music API is giving InnerTune low quality music because of a user agent or any identifiable information?

This could be fixed by copying the ViMusic downloader implementation over with minimal changes. Hopefully then audio quality will be better for High Quality mode.

Could the low quality be related with logging into one's YouTube Music account? Because after logging out the quality is no longer low. Weird?

Actually nevermind, it's low even without logging in now
