Plugin: more quality choices

[89891383]

Player: more quality choices. That is, for example, if I have the same video, but in several qualities, for example, from 360p to 1080p, then I add these links and every user can se choose the quality. Would you be able to do something like that, or at least such an add-on as a plug-in to SyncTube? I think this is a useful and cool option that would be worth using. I would like to see something like this.

I think this should work for you

I don't know much about how this works, can you help me with this? I put it in custom.js, and the files in the plugins folder, but I still don't know how to put two normal links with a different quality

[89891383]

Something like this, that wants to add links with different names in the URL, that one is 720p and the other is 1080p, with the ending .mp4
If you would like to do something like that, that would be cool.

@89891383 that's exactly what SyncTube-QSwitcher does. You don't need to add all the links manually, only one would be enough.

So, for instance, you have prepared two files:
https://somesite/1_720p.mp4
https://somesite/1_1080p.mp4

You need to add only one of them to playlist:
https://somesite/1_1080p.mp4

Now, when this video starts playing, the plugin automatically determines that this file is 1080p and there's another file 720p, and it'll create a quality switcher.

Important

The filename pattern should exactly ends with: quality number + p.mp4, otherwise you'll need to adapt configs to match your URL pattern

ok, and if I have let's say a video from an external site

and we have for example such a link, the first: https://example.com/example_480p.mp4
and the second link: https://example.com/example2_720p.mp4
then how to do it? @aNNiMON

[89891383]

well there is also nowhere to switch this quality, there is no such option even pops up nowhere for me

[aNNiMON]

@89891383 it should be the same filename except the quality number:
https://example.com/example_480p.mp4
https://example.com/example_720p.mp4

While in your case it's example_ and example2_, that's the problem.

[89891383]

Well, can you do it as above? e.g. example2 or something, because it would be nice

[aNNiMON]

@89891383 sure, if you provide more examples how the links are look like. Is it always file_480p, file2_720p, file3_1080p?

[89891383]

something like this for example

https://vwaw821.cda.pl/M-lt4-bh0U_ap4WgjdkdFg/1711017117/hdc6bb3200ad8071a1ddc9bfc39913d6ea.mp4?1080p.mp4

https://vwaw525.cda.pl/4yOM_lzYFPC___P4I7mGRA/1711017138/sdc6bb3200ad8071a1ddc9bfc39913d6ea.mp4?720p.mp4 @aNNiMON

[aNNiMON]

@89891383 that's completely different servers vwaw821 and vwaw525, ids 1711017117 and 1711017138, so it won't work automatically.

I think that's won't be solved without changes in SyncTube itself. We have two options:

1. Ability to add video urls with a separator, URL1_1080||URL2_720||URL3_480
2. Implement m3u8 support with source switches:

#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,RESOLUTION=854x480
URL3_480p.mp4
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,RESOLUTION=1280x720
URL2_720p.mp4
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,RESOLUTION=1920x1080
URL1_1080p.mp4

@RblSb what do you think?

[89891383]

And a button to change the quality would also be useful. And it's so great that you replied quickly.
