YouTube does not respect quality preference #726
Comments
Issue appears to be related to YouTube, not Drive. |
Actually can you clarify something? The title of the issue confuses me, are you saying it works with YouTube and doesn't work for drive, or that it works for drive and doesn't work for YouTube? |
I went ahead and checked YouTube and it does appear to be a regression. The YouTube player API I see a few references to this on the issue tracker, such as 1 and 2, which have deleted comments but appear to suggest that something changed in YouTube's API about the way these are handled.
