I installed ViewTube, and I’m really happy with the experience so far. The only thing is that it seems to automatically switch to the lowest possible quality and either takes a long time to switch back to my desired quality or just sticks there indefinitely.

It does switch back if I select a higher quality manually, so I know that the stands are available and the bandwidth is sufficient.

Is there anything I can do to make it increase the quality more aggressively, or not downgrade at all?

    It’s the same thing, but I’m self hosting it.

    I’ve played around with the quality options, but I can’t seem to get it to not fall back to postage stamp quality.

      Yeh its not exactly doing that for me. Just very flakey with manual selection of resolutions. My bandwidth is not a good test for the autoselection right now unfortunately. Need to test with and without DASH. Very promising though. Ive kind of given up on public invidious instances or similar so might be time to selfhost something like this.
