Can VLC predetermine the streaming quality?

[Mzungu]

I'd like to download for my son some WorldCup Football matches, which are taking place when he is still in school. 1280p50 is my favorite choice.

Unfortunately one channel tries to patronise me with switching between different qualities — which leads to freezes and an odd recording:

Code: Select all

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="Das Erste HD" tvg-id="DasErste.de" group-title="IPTV-DE" tvg-logo="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jnk22/kodinerds-iptv/master/logos/tv/daserstehd.png",Das Erste HD https://mcdn.daserste.de/daserste/de/master.m3u8

My question: Can VLC identify to the streaming server as only and solely 1280p50/25 capable hardware?

Thank you in advance!
