Hello ,

1. have downloaded youtube-dl.exe and placed in mpv directory
2. installed latest pyhton3 via installer for windows.

aim is to limit youtube-dl automatically to select 1080p or below when watching stream through mpv+youtube-dl.

for some reason, it does not function.

created 2 config file just to make sure

• youtube-dl.conf > in C:\Users"username"\
• config.txt > in C:\Users"username"\AppData\Roaming\youtube-dl\

both times inserted

-f bestvideo[ext=mp4][height<1200]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/bestvideo[ext=webm][height<1200]+bestaudio[ext=webm]/bestvideo[height<1200]+bestaudio/best[height<1200]/best

the video in 4k would still load in 4k and not below.

have i chosen the wrong location or did i insert the wrong code?

thank you for your help.
