I don't know if this is the right place to ask or not, but please bear with me. I have an Android TV and it's stock YouTube app restricts quality settings to 1080p as the tv resolution is 1080p. However, as YouTube compresses videos too much and I don't know if my tv can run the Av01 encoding or not.
Is there another YouTube mod or other app that can remove this restriction? A downscaled 4k looks much better than a native 1080p video as YouTube generally has 10x bitrate for 4k videos. And I have a 100mbps connection so internet speed won't be a problem.
