LibVLCSharp - ignores preferred-quality setting (Youtube)

I cannot get LibVLCSharp to display youtube streams with a lower preferred quality.

I init LibVLC like so:
LibVLC _libVLC = new LibVLC("--preferred-resolution=240");

and then use the VideoView control to display the stream.

The URL that I've test with:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbVennP7Sqw&t=3308s

The video does have a lower option as I can set it to 240 in the browser and it works. Inside the VLC desktop client, it also seems to ignore the preferred quality setting under Preferences -> Input/Codecs?

Is it a luac issue? I have updated both my youtube.lua and youtube.luac inside my libvlc folder from this url:
https://github.com/videolan/vlc-3.0/blo ... outube.lua

Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

Possibly a bug if this doesn't work in the VLC app. You could open a bug report on trac.videolan.org
