Files Modified

1. frontend/src/pages/VideosPage.tsx

Notes

• The vq=hd1080 parameter requests 1080p, but YouTube will use the highest available quality up to that resolution
• If a video doesn't have 1080p available, YouTube will automatically select the best available quality
• All existing functionality (auto-fetch, manual configuration, legacy support) remains intact
