Hi and hello.

It seems with one of the recent updates, audio quality defaults to either 32kbps or 48kbps m4a when I use mobile data. On WiFi it's always 128 kbps. I didn't find anything in the settings to combat this behavior, and it happens on my new Pixel as well as on my old Xiaomi.

I use Newpipe primarily as a music streaming app, so this, ehm, it sucks pretty bad.

Did I miss a setting or should I open an issue on github?

edit: I just opened an issue on github, hopefully this gets resolved.

edit 2: This apparently has been an issue for quite some time, it's not a bug though. Setting "Settings" > "Video and Audio" > "Limit resolution when using mobile data" to "No limit" resolved it, but it's not mentioned anywhere that this setting also affects the audio quality. https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/8148

I don’t use this app, but it seems like there should be settings for this feature according to: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/518
