[snd] with youtube = low-quality

Slime · 11:17 PM

The snd tag with Youtube is AWESOME.

BUT, it defaults to the lowest quality available. This is bad because Youtube usually has bad audio compression on the 360p and 240p videos.

Is there any way to get the SND tag to always choose a higher quality video (480+)?

(one way might be to "fake" it being a larger-sized video, which means youtube will choose a higher quality as it does when you resize the player to be larger? maybe this is impossible)

(another might be adding that &fmt=18 tag or whatever it is?)

I don't think fmt=18 works anymore. If someone can test this, I will add it.

Yeah you're right, fmt doesn't work anymore. I don't see any way to choose higher quality through the URL. Oh well!

I was expecting someone to just copy the embed code, figure it out in an empty html file on their desktop, and then tell me what they did.
