Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Do you use YouTube Premium?

No, I don't use YouTube Premium

My feature request

This was reported a few times in unrelated topics: YouTube Shorts defaults to 480p and both quality settings (default YouTube & YouTubePlus) don’t change the default YouTube Shorts resolution.

There are apparently a few other issues with shorts and maybe v5 already fixes/implements this - but it would be awesome, if we could change the default Shorts resolution too, as 480p is obviously a bit too low

Additional context

No response

Likely will be fixed/added in version 5 of YouTube Plus. Will wait for its public release before working on any features.

Since there doesn't seem to be an issue for it, I'll mention it here, but the automatic quality switcher doesn't work on regular videos too. It always defaults to 720p when I set it to 1080p or best

Paid version offers beta/alpha features only. Nothing specified related to Shorts crash on latest release. They just telling us to use downgraded YT iPA.

Ah yes my bad sorry. Btw in the settings there is a section for YTLitePlus and YouTubePlus. And only YTLitePlus has import/export settings feature. Does it also affect other tweaks? (Does it also export YouTubePlus, iSponsorBlock etc. settings?)

YouTube Plus section has export as well, it is hard to find though. In YouTube Plus, scroll all the way down to YouTube Plus Preferences, then you can export there.

Currently YTLitePlus export can do most settings except for any in YouTube Plus and iSponsorBlock. This is only on builds from about 1 week ago though, any builds from before then will not have this ability.

As mentioned in the issue, shorts work on the current version if you disable download manager
