Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.
There's a preference on the preference page for a default video quality when using DASH. As far as I know there's no URL parameter to enforce this preference, which means the options is locked behind browser cookies. Using a URL Parameter to enforce DASH (quality=dash) defaults to "auto" always.

Describe the solution you'd like
Either a dedicated URL Parameter for enforcing DASH quality (dash=480 for example) or more detailed options for the default video quality parameter (current options are only small, medium, 720hd, and DASH).

Describe alternatives you've considered
"medium" is supposed to enforce 480, which is an ideal video quality, but I find DASH to be a more efficient means to enforce this than "medium".

Additional context
Something similar to what YT-DLP does, where you can enforce a minimum and maximum quality would be nice (dash=480> to enforce no lower than 480 for example)

Sorry, the documentation is quite lacking on that part. There is an URL parameter for the "DASH quality" drop-down. It's quality_dash.

For reference, they can all be found in this source file:

Thanks for the heads up! Time to add this to the documentation.

Just tried &quality_dash=480 and it works like a dream.
