So I understand that currently kodi is unable to decode the seperate DASH video and audio encodes used by certain youtube streams. However, youtube-dl has the ability (using the --merge-output-format FORMAT) to remux the best video and audio streams. Would it be possible for this addon to have the option to perform this command before playing a video to allow kodi to play videos above the 720p resolution?
I'm sure this would be a lot of work to implement, and I'm not sure how quick the remuxing process is (I plan on doing some tests directly with youtube-dl), but this would be a killer feature to have implemented.
