[Feature Request] download a playlist with different maximum resolutions #613
Comments
The app should provide you with the highest resolution available across all videos in playlist, so in your example 2160p should be available in the list, and in this case videos will be downloaded in the best available quality. |
For example this one: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkIGJ7Ljv6Yz6KYEqbfkvv1I0TSIfEvrs |
So after further testing I came to a conclusion that the “Maximum Quality” offered in the “Add Download” window is set by the FIRST video in the playlist. If however the first video is in 2160p and last is 1440p (playlist below), you can still choose 2160p as a download quality: |
Yeah, sorry, I should have write it after I re-read the code and remembered that 😅 The thing is, when loading data for playlists with yt-dlp, we have 2 options: either download all data for all videos, which can take a lot of time (50 videos in playlist? The data will be loading for a minute) or download only basic data like titles and URLs without resolutions. At some moment in the past we implemented the second option, and together with playlist data we also load the full data for the first entry to get the list of resolutions to have at least something. |
Ok, no problem. Thanks for clarifying the functionality! |
As of 2023.9.0, when you download a video playlist, all videos in that playlist default to the highest resolution available for the worst quality video. What I mean by that is, let’s say there are 3 videos in a playlist:
Vid1: 1080p
Vid2: 1440p
Vid3: 2160p
If you download this playlist, all videos are going to be only 1080p even though other videos they are also available in higher resolutions.
It would be great to add an option like “Best available quality” that would be selected for all videos and would download the highest resolution available.
