Resolution Fallback [Feature Request]

Hey mate,

Is there any way to implement a standard resolution fallback?

As an example, the flag could be something like --maxres which overrides -q

The idea would be to automatically try different resolutions in order of highest to lowest. If a 1080p version is available, it is downloaded and the script moves on to the next episode.

If on the other hand a 1080p version is not available, then it will automatically retry in order of highest resolution to lowest, until it finds a valid download.

Currently, if when using -q 1080p, a 1080p version does not exist, it doesn’t seem to fallback to 720p, then 480p etc. Instead, it seems to jump directly to the lowest available resolution.

Thanks! Great script BTW! Keep up the great work 😃

Fixed in 3.4.0.

I use --fallback-qualities "['360p', '480p']" in zsh, but maybe you don’t need the extra quotes in bash. Use -fq for short.

Yes, this is intentional. I will look into your request. Maybe a new argument --fallback-quality?
