Hi! New forum member.
My operating system on a Dell Inspiron 910 is Xubuntu 16.04, my SMplayer Menu>About gives:
Version: 17.8.0 (revision 8621)
Using Qt 4.8.7 (compiled with Qt 4.8.7)
Using MPV 0.14.0
I cannot change resolution in some Live Broadcast URLs that don' t come from YouTube, I hope this is because I don' t know how to pass options and filters to MPlayer/mpv, if not then it is not possibile to reduce these Live Broadcast resolutions.
I go to https://www.rt.com/on-air/ , click the HD button on the video frame and change to 360p. Then I click the share icon on the top-right of the video frame and click the URL icon to copy it. Sadly I just copy the generic video URL, without any resolution filter...
I have set Preferences>Network>YouTube(and other sites) to Auto and 360p (mp4), but this does not affect the resolution obviusly because it is not a YouTube stream... So I belive I have to pass some video filter. I wonder if I sould better pass this filter to View>Information and properties>Options for MPlayer/mpv, in order to pass it only to the specific URL.
Any help?
I would also like to know if it is possibile to pull the subtitles from YouTube videos, I admit I did not search the forum for that, for the previous problem I did but I found no useful information.
Thanks in advance!
