I am downloading educational lecture videos playlist. I only have acces to internet limited through my mobile data
As the lecture videos involves reading the explanation written in whiteboard and I am being limited to mobile data , so I only download at the minimum video quality that text is videos are understandable and I also save data which is at 480p.
But some videps are only availabld in 144p, 240p, 360p , 1080p . So as per usual app's behaviour , it does not find selected 480p .
So it download at the lower quality than 480p, which is 360p that is available , but text is unreable in 360p , so it becomes a problem for me.
So app's behavious of downloading at quality lower than selected quality for a playlist is a problem for me.

Describe the solution you'd like

When downloading videos from playlist , if video is not not availble in the preferred quality, a prompt should be shown asking to select the quality from available qualities of video.
If a option with checkmark asking "Select same quality in future scenarios in the playlist further"was added to prompt , it would be better.

If displaying prompt is not possible, videos downloading automatically at quality higher than selectes quality will be better.

Turn on Format sorting in Settings - Format, import your GUI preference and you will see something like res:480, which works exactly as you described before. You can a prefix + to reverse this order, then it becomes "prefers smaller videos, but no smaller than 480p and the largest video if there are no videos larger than 480p"

Thanks, it works.
Only other change I made was keeping +res:480 before any format option like vcodec.
