Getting always lowest video quality even with Enable HD setting

    This happens when using a shortcode as such

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[lyte id="eaGhtgST9X8" /]'); ?>

    and seems to happen as well with custom fields using

    <?php  echo lyte_preparse(get_field('1-_video')); ?>

    Live example: https://www.hsingenieria.cl/hospital-militar/

    no idea I’m afraid; there’s nothing in LYTE’s HTML or JS code that forces a specific quality.

    when clicking on the first vid, the iframe is loaded with URL https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/sQzGuJIiV64?autoplay=1&controls=1&wmode=opaque&rel=0&egm=0&iv_load_policy=3&hd=1&vq=hd720 with the hq=hd720 added by LYTE due to “enable HD”. in my case it’s playing at 360p whereas in your case it’s playing at 144p?

    when loading the iframe src in a new tab and changing that to a mobile viewport, I can reproduce the lower quality playback in a small enough window, but if I make it bigger, quality goes up (which kind of makes sense, as YouTube will automagically determine ideal quality based an bandwidth and size at which the vid. is to be displayed), so my gut says it’s YT determining you don’t need HD for a video that small or something? :-/

    My mistake, is not the lowest in that case, 360p here as well

    (which kind of makes sense, as YouTube will automagically determine ideal quality based an bandwidth and size at which the vid. is to be displayed)

    Makes perfect sense to me, that must be it. Well I googled and yes seems to be because “auto” mode is on by default, which is set on an user basis :/ So we are out of luck here, cant be set.

    Thank you ??
