XF 2.1 Force embedded Youtube to play HD 1080 if possible

[Mr Lucky]

If a video is on Yoube and is HD, is there a way to force the embed to play at HD? Currently the user would need to know that is an option and change it in nthe settings of the embedded video.

But I would want an HD video to play in HD by default.

Possible?

YouTube videos play at the best quality possible AFAIK anyway (that's what the Auto Quality setting is), so would play in HD if the screen resolution and Internet speed were suitable. Obviously you wouldn't want to force a video to play at 1080p60 on a mobile phone with a screen resolution not capable of supporting this and/or with a slow mobile connection.

You are absolutely correct. I just tested a couple here.

But on one of my forums it didn't. And then I tried again and it did.

Very strange.
