feat(YouTube): Unlock 1080P premium quality

Open LunaWuna opened this issue 1 year ago • 11 comments

Application

YouTube

Issue

Allowing 1080P premium to be streamed without owning premium.

Patch

It seems YouTube doesn't seem to require premium to actually access it since you can download the 1080p premium video using yt-dlp or something similar. I assume it would be possible to patch it in revanced to allow this.

Motivation

1080P premium is getting rolled out and is appearing on more and more videos and makes a huge difference. I think the entire revanced community will benefit from higher bitrates on 1080P.

Server side feature. If not, include the instruction on how yt-dlp can download it.

Try it and download it, I'm using DVD (yt-dlp GUI on Android) and it downloads the higher bitrate 1080p premium just fine.

We need to spoof it into IOS device for get higher bitrate, but it is hard to do

You can use any external downloader, such as your GUI application. Spoofing the client to iOS is not worth this patch.

No, you still need to unlock it, feel free to PR.

It is indeed possible, not sure why but it put it on the premium quality even though I don't have premium, this doesn't happen on stock yt Screenshot_20230831-173259

It may be possible by leveraging the existent "Remember video quality" patch hooks, though have you even confirmed if it is indeed the correct video stream, YouTube does not send it if the client is not IOS and you do not have YouTube Premium.

It is a bug (or maybe a feature) in Remember Video Quality. But the correct quality is just 720p

Please reopen issue yt-dlp now has built in download premium bitrate option
