Description Bart Ribbers 2021-09-30 10:09:12 UTC 
I use a Firefox browser extension to open all kinds of videos directly in mpv rather than in the browser itself. For this I configured the extension to open mpv with the "--yt-dl-format" switch to configure what resolution I want (it basically calls mpv via the command line). It would be lovely to be able to do the same in Haruna.

It's already possible to do e.g. "haruna <youtube url>", but the `--yt-dl-format` switch is currently not recognized, and you have to configure what quality you want via the application-wide settings rather than for this particular instance.

I realize I can do that, and I already mentioned that.

> and you have to configure what quality you want via the application-wide settings rather than for this particular instance.

However, that'll change it _for always_ rather than just for this particular time I launch Haruna. Basically I want this command line switch to be an override which gets wiped after I quit the application.

You can now do 
```
haruna --ytdl-format-selection="bestvideo[height<=160]+bestaudio/best" "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pDpYur3Nwc"
```
 or use the shorter version `--ytdlfs`.
