Bitrate/resolution priority switch #20606

No, since this does not scale. Custom formats sorting option should be implemented instead. |

Description of my issue, suggested solution and other information
Currently, the bitrate of videos takes priority over the resolution.
It'd be great if this behaviour could be changed (resolution over bitrate) with a single flag.
At the time, this is only possible by using a very large format flag (f.ex.
-f 'bestvideo[height >= 1920]/[height >= 1280]/[height >= 720]/...'.Sometimes, I'd like to download the file with the higher resolution instead of a higher bitrate.
A simple switch flag would be extremely convenient (f.ex.
--priority-bitrateand--priority-resolutionwhere--priority-bitrateis the default behaviour).
