Add option to specify video fps.

[SGOrava]

youtube-dl has an option to specify fps of the video which should be downloaded.
Is it possible to add into youtube-viewer ?
Right now the yt-viewer is trying to use 60fps video on my small machine and it is unwatchable.
While youtube.dl can clearly download 30fps one.

So having an option like "preffer fps: [30 / 60]" would be nice.

Will not add an explicit option for this, as it will unnecessarily complicate the code, since most people prefer 60 FPS anyway. (see: #67)

However, adding the following player entry, will do the trick:

mpv30fps => {
    fs => "--fullscreen",
    novideo => "--no-video",
    srt => "--sub-file *SUB*",
    arg => "--ytdl-raw-options='format=best[fps<=30]+bestaudio/best[height<=720]' *URL*",
    cmd => "mpv",
},

By executing youtube-viewer with --player=mpv30fps, videos will be played @ 30 FPS (or lower).

Thank you for answer.
Most people have powerful machines compared to my own.
I solved it in similar way as you suggested.
