Hi,

I'm trying to develop an addon that plays url from a website.
I use youtube_dl in order to grab the url of the video. With this I get a list of streaming urls with different qualities.
My current implementations is to pick the best quality and create a playable ListItem.
Sometimes however the server is too slow and streaming is not smooth.
Is it possible to get a context menu with different playable urls?
In such a way the user could select a different streaming quality and avoid problems with network speed.

Maybe there are other solutions that I didn't think about.
I am open to suggestions, thanks!

it's explained in the first post of the youtube-dl thread:

However in that post the author just says to use
I guess that the question in my first post would be more concerning how to actually implement said function.
Unfortunately I don't see that in the post you are referring to
