[Bug] Not auto-selecting highest quality if the preferred one doesn't exist

[swolewizard]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Hey there! I'm loving your YouTube extension, but I have a small issue I'd like to address. Currently, if I select a quality that doesn't exist for the video I'm watching, the extension doesn't do anything. It would be awesome if it could automatically choose the next highest quality available. For example, if I set the extension to 1440p but the video's highest quality is 1080p, it should automatically select 1080p. Thanks for considering my suggestion!

Is it a change to the extension's functionality or to the pop-up settings page?

Extension's functionality

If the latter, please propose a new design on Figma or describe it as detailed as possible

That's how the extension should behave by default

youtube-auto-hd/src/cs-helpers/desktop/content-script-desktop.ts

Lines 102 to 105 in b018fb5

	} else if (getIsQualityLower(elQualities[0], window.ythdLastUserQualities[fpsStep])) {
	const iQualityAvailable = qualitiesAvailable.findIndex(quality => quality > 0);
	applyQuality(iQualityAvailable);
	} else {

What browser are you on? Are you using the latest version, 1.7.10?

[swolewizard]

I'm using Chrome
Using version: 1.7.10

When I set my preferred quality to 1440p or above and open a video without those quality settings, the extension does nothing
Like this:

But if I change the quality on the extension with the video currently open, It'll then automatically choose the next highest quality available

That's peculiar
Please click the settings button and take a screenshot

Which settings did you want

[avi12]

I need to see the settings menu

[swolewizard]

Not sure which settings menu you're referring to, I'll send all I can think of

[avi12]

Thanks, I only needed the 3rd screenshot :)
That's very weird indeed
So if I understand correctly, when you first load the video, the video quality stays on Auto?

[swolewizard]

That's correct

[avi12]

Can you try to sideload the ext locally?

[swolewizard]

Unless the quality I've selected in the extension exists, then it correctly switches to 1440p for example

Can you try to sideload the ext locally?

Can you contact me via Discord so I can guide you on how? avi12#4269

[swolewizard]

Reached out to @avi12 on Discord and found out that the problem I was experiencing was due to a conflicting extension called Looper for YouTube. Removing this extension resolved the issue. Currently, I've kept Looper for YouTube disabled so I can continue using the extension.
I was informed that @avi12 will investigate and work on a hotfix to ensure compatibility between the two extensions. Really looking forward to the hotfix and appreciate your assistance!

Sadly the issue isn't easily fixable and the possible solution is to awkwardly keep changing the quality until one extension "gives up"
Better contact Looper's developer to ask him make the auto HD functionality toggleable
