Option to change video quality

[Hooooooman]

I think there should be a setting in the three dots to increase or decrease video quality, cause I stats I saw the video quality is majorly decreased, I understand if there is a conflict.

I always want at least 1080p quality, the default video quality is very poor.

Sorry I just added this feature last night, it will only be available in v1.14

New version coming soon with many new improvements and features 😁

[Hooooooman]

Can you give a approximate date when the v1.14 will be releasing??

You'll have to ask @th-ch (he is the project owner - im just a contributor)

@Hooooooman @treasury meanwhile if really you want better quality now (before the upcoming release)
you can enter devtools (ctrl+shift+i or Options-Advanced-Toggle Developer Tools) and paste the following in the console:

var api = $('#movie_player');
api.setPlaybackQualityRange(api.getAvailableQualityLevels()[0]);
api.setPlaybackQuality(api.getAvailableQualityLevels()[0]);

this well set your video quality to the highest available

youtube usually remembers your choice, so if you want always the highest - just play a 4k video and paste this code in console. then it will always try to reach 4k, defaulting to the highest available

New version has been released 🙂
