Hi Meino, yes, it is possible. The format-selection is quite flexible with youtube-dl. I've got the following line in ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf: ''' ytdl-format=bestvideo[ext!=webm,width<=1920]+bestaudio[protocol!=http_dash_segments]/best ''' Something like the following might work for you. ''' ytdl-format=bestvideo[width<=920]+bestaudio/best ''' It will select a format with width less than 920px together with the best audio source, or, if nothing matches this criteria, the best format available. But just take a look at youtube-dl(1), FORMAT SELECTION. Patrick
