Low video quality... unfortunately

[a0g83agbc84]

Hi,

First of all, thanks for this amazing app, it is almost exactly what I need!

I think that because the player is using the muxed option, which is quality capped, the video in the native app looks pretty low quality compared to what it could be.

How challenging would it be to use media_kit and play the two high quality streams for both video and audio?

Thanks in advance!

I think it would be better to integrate youtube iframe player library, like SyncTube web version implements different player types on single IPlayer interface. These yt-stealing libs are not that robust in general

I'm not so versed in how those things work, but it seems like anything official will work better but serve ads, whereas "yt-" types serve video only. Won't getting ads mess things up if ads are not served at the exact same time? And pausing multiple times when ads are serves can be annoying, without getting into how annoying ads can be :P

Seems like this should not be a problem: sarbagyastha/youtube_player_flutter#14

I tested mediakit video_player implementation ~two years ago and i think that was buggy. I actually would like to have that one to also support external audio tracks for voice-over support in app too. Maybe it will be good to check mediakit's video_player first again.

AFAIK media_kit should be able to play multiple sources at the same time, with plenty of cool things that should make the watching experience pretty good (https://github.com/media-kit/media-kit). Hopefully it's improved a lot and it's more stable since you last tried it. In case replacing one player with another one is not "that" difficult, being able to have good quality videos out of the box would be great. And even, in the future, a nice quality selector or even auto depending on network contrains (or lack of)... :)

I'm here in case you need any testing on Android and Android TV 🦾
