Watch any Youtube video in HQ.

You all might have noticed the ability to watch Youtube videos in high quality as an option, but the option is only available for certain videos. For what reason I do not know. But this code will allow you to be able to watch videos in HQ on Youtube nonetheless when the feature isn't available, ie anime, music videos, etc...

Just simply put this &fmt=18 or &fmt=6 (either one is fine) in the end of every Youtube link to watch it in HQ. I'm not sure if this is a loophole or something but at least you can watch videos in HQ now...

Edit: I read up on the extension and it is said that sometimes it may not work, depending on the format I guess, but so far I've managed to watch any Youtube video in HQ successfully.

holy shit it works!!

good find, +rep

Wow that's awesome, glad you shared this.

Lol yeah... my friend told me about it and i thought i was stupid and everyone else knew how to do it... guess it's not that popular yet...

Holy crap, I love you for sharing this. Some old videos are really watchable now.

Thanks a ton for that tip. Makes some stuff look good.

My God! Is this some kind of Internet Magic?! Nice find man. Now I can watch any videos HQ. +rep

Woo, thanks for the rep guys it made my day and no problem have fun watching your videos :D


I was watching a music video and someone in the comment section posted the extension so here it is now on FAKKU.

Wow that's so cool! How did you find out about this?

More kind of me posting it on the forums xD.

respect man, this doesnt even make sense. if they had high quality videos available they would have offered them... its practically impossible, its like that extension overrides video quality or something. ive never heard of that before, really great find man. id rep you if i hadnt already handed it out =(

kudos for the find.
~kiss david on the forehead~ :oops:

omfg hax... +rep

BUMP

Not all video are &fmt=18 compatible (I don't known why but jimmyrcom might help) however this is useful for people so I must still say my thanks and do you known about &fmt=6? :?:

I was aware of &fmt=6 after stumbling upon this forum thread a few days ago, but it looks like both extensions are really the same so use either one.

Thanks for bringing it up teh1andonly or else I would have forgotten to update the thread.

No problem but If you're really curious to find out which is better than you could check this :D (credits to jimmyrcom for this)
