Change Pluto default stream of "Best"?

[loveridgem]

Hi,

I've noticed that the stream selection for Pluto TV is Best in pluto.py and I'm wondering if there is a way to change which stream to use.  I'm asking because I was downloading a number of episodes of a show and I soon got hit with notice from Comcast that I had used up my data allotment for the month.  I'm thinking it's because I'm downloading high resolution versions of the video when I really only need 720p.

Is this even a correct assumption?  Could I change that and reduce the data size for each episode?  Is this something that can be selected during the setup of the extra for Pluto TV?

Thanks,
Mike

The extra-pluto.xml defines the command line options in the args field so you could replace best for the channels you are interested in with another setting

If you don't know what they are you run without options

streamlink https://pluto.tv/live-tv/90210

Available streams: 570k (worst), 1000k, 1500k, 2100k, 3100k (best)

This would involve using the trash can to delete all the channels and reimport/remap them.

Thanks! Just what I needed to know.

EDIT: I just edited extra-pluto.xml and replaced best with 2100k and restarted nextpvr-server. Seems to be working fine.
