< Feedback on Lazy Embedded Video
I have no control on this, that's how youtube works. Personally it's auto 1080p with firefox and with chrome it's 360p or more depending on the size of the player but automatically turn to 1080p when I go fullscreen.
Video resolution
This script is incredibly useful for forcing fullscreen on embedded YouTube videos where it is not allowed. It would be really nice if you were able to choose resolution. It always defaults to 480p or something. Since I like to watch in fullsreen, it is a bit annoying having to switch to 1080p every time.
