Well, AFAIK you only really need gstreamer support for non-free formats (i.e.,
MP4, MP3). In fact, perhaps that's why that 1080p video only played in 360p:
maybe the 1080p version is only available as an MP4 (youtube-dl could probably
verify)?
Of course, for all I know you don't care about playing non-free formats, and
that'd be fine.

Yeah, you're right, we were talking past each other :) .
(FWIW, that's exactly the same menu tree as in Firefox.)
