Guidelines

  • I have searched the issue tracker for open and closed issues that are similar to the feature request I want to file, without success.
  • I have searched the documentation for information that matches the description of the feature request I want to file, without success.
  • This issue contains only one feature request.

Problem Description

I don't have an hdr screen. Regardless, if i click on a video that has an hdr stream, Freetube always selects that one, even when there is a non-hdr stream with the same resolution. I can still change it from the resolution selection menu but it would be great if "disabling" the hdr streams was an option.

Proposed Solution

An option to disable hdr streams altogether.

Alternatives Considered

probably none

Issue Labels

improvement to existing feature

We should be able to detect if HDR is supported, so maybe it should be reversed. So that the default behaviour is to use the SDR or HDR streams depending on whether it is supported and then have an override setting which allows HDR playback even when HDR is not supported.

That seems be what YouTube does, well without the override setting.
