I just tried that, not realizing that VLC could do it.
Unfortunately, it seems to play 1080p videos at 360p, which, not to be a snob or anything, isn't watchable for me. Well, I'd prefer an ad than a really blurry video.
- dredmorbius 7y agoYouTube offers videos in multiple formats for viewing. VLC may have an option to configure your preferred resolution (min/max). Looks as if that's available for desktop but not the Android app: https://www.vlchelp.com/how-to-choose-youtube-video-quality/ https://www.vlchelp.com/how-to-choose-youtube-video-quality/ Otherwise it should default to the best available quality. youtube-dl, mpv, and mps-youtube are three other options, for which you can either d/l and play, or specify default viewer and/or options. All three run under Termux on Android.
