Neat! Any plans to make the different video qualities quickly available? Maybe as a subdir named with the resolution, eg search/movie/480p.mp4 or maybe movie.1080p.mp4?


Oh, I don't want to clutter it too much, it's better to keep it simple.

It definitely needs a mount option to set the default quality. Changing it later might be tricky, maybe passing options in directory names would be a good idea? for example: mkdir "foobar [q:720p]"


How about doing it with mount options, so someone would mount /mnt/youtube/hires /mnt/youtube/lowres with different options?


That is going to be the first thing to implement now.
