EcoTubeHQ video player outputs DRM-free video streaming services [YouTube, Rumble, Bitchute etc] at modest bitrates whilst preserving quality, thus saving energy by minimizing downloaded data. Hardware acceleration is employed where possible.

Features:

• EcoTubeHQ outputs av1 codec YouTube videos by default, if av1 isn't available then vp9 is utilized, and if vp9 isn't available then h.264 is output. The result is highest quality / lowest bitrate video. Alternatively, EcoTubeHQ can be set to utilize only vp9 or h.264 video codecs.
• EcoTubeHQ offers three video upscaling techniques: AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution [BQ Best Quality], Lanczos [HQ High Quality] and Bicubic [LE Low Energy]. Using 720p AMD FSR video upscaling instead of 1080p conventional upscaling gives comparable video quality and significantly reduces data requirements.
• EcoTubeHQ restricts videos to 30fps to further minimize data usage.
• EcoTubeHQ offers two Opus audio bitrates for av1 and vp9 YouTube videos - 70kbps [default] and 160kbps.
