Any way to choose the default video quality?

I was wondering if there was a way to edit or alter the script so that it'll default to a user chosen quality level, say 1080p, instead of picking the highest quality available. A lot of videos are being uploaded in 4k now, and my while my internet speed can handle 1080p just fine without buffering, it chokes on the 4k videos.

Hey Katharine,

Yes, the first line of the script, you would just have to replace "highres" with "hd1080", I have just updated the script to do these changes, as I believe you have a valid point in saying 4k is too much to default to. I have also made it clearer what the user would have to change to get the script to do the quality they automatically want to load, I hadn't looked at this script in a while and apparently totally missed the point of the script being available to be changed...

Thanks,
Daniel.

Thanks for the solution! :)
