Testing it out and it defaults to 720p30 (30fps I assume). When I switch it to 1080p60, video playback begins to freeze/lag. So, sticking with revamced for now.
This seems to be a problem with every third-party YouTube client. NewPipe, LibreTube, and Piped all have the same issue for me. They desperately need better buffering logic. I suspect Google is doing something on their end to make this harder than it needs to be.
As far as I remember, if the client does not say “hello” in a proper way, YT will limit the bandwidth to the point it’s unwatchable. It sometimes affect NewPipe and Kodi.

Didn’t have an issue with NewPipe.
Newpipe is pretty slick, probably the best non revanced solution.
Been testing GrayJay since yesterday. It’s also open source but a bit better since it supports subscriptions and more sources.

There is a setting for the default quality for unmetered and metered connections.
