For a workaround you may use proxychains to redirect the traffic of this app through a proxy.

Is it possible to set default quality for video from youtube etc?

If i open an youtube link from webcat it always use low quality but if i search for the same clip from LLs Video Player it's high quality.

This was integrated in Version 1.0 with a long press on the mediabar you can choose the quality in which you want the stream to play. Though it may not detect every stream for every video.

Seems to be not possible as youtube decides from the browser user agent what rtsp stream to send to the user.

Nice work! But videoes on sites won't play (too many sites today are relying on video snippets unfortunately imo). Either only a mark showing it's a still image of a video clip, black screen (the embedded video part), "You need flash player/flash plug-in..." or the ones that open your "LLs vPlayer" says "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in." Also, it seems to cause LLs vPlayer to freeze if I try to play something else.

I know it's supposed to be a simple browser. It'll be cool though integrating both of your nice apps :)

There is a Codecs pack here on openrepos.net. If you install this you will get more videos to play. The ones in the browser however are not hardware decoded.

As Far As I Know there is no Qt5 version available for Harmattan. Porting the browser to QtQuick 1.1 would be rewritting the whole thing. I don't think that I am able to do that.
