Playlist not selecting correct quality

Post by Damfino »

I noticed that when I add an entire channel from YouTube, the Downloader does not select the correct quality.

Example:
I set "apply quality settings" to "1080p HD - MP4 H.264 High" because I want to download the highest quality available.
I then add a single video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjF2Hw6qfdA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It selects "720p HD - MP4 H.264 High", 27.69 mb.

But if I add the entire channel:
http://www.youtube.com/user/Blendtec/videos" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The quality chosen for the same video is "720p HD - MP4 DASH", 20.65 mb.

As I was typing this, I found that if I select another quality level under "apply quality settings" then set it back to the highest setting, the entire playlist is set to the correct quality setting, so it appears to be a bug that occurs only when adding a playlist.

The option will have the correct behavior in next release.
The best quality for the selected encoding format will be selected after the video has been added to the list.
