Next up. Pipe the yt url to mpv which uses ytdl to show the video in standard video player in your favorite resolution and codec so your laptop won’t even spin the fan

Thats exactly what I do :-) userscript injecting additional button on YT interface

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Play\shell\open\command]
    @="\"xxxxx\\play.bat\" \"%1\""

play.bat breaking back passed parameter to url (720p version is still one h264+ogg mp4 file so no need for ytdl) and title and passing that to smplayer
