Research direction
Start by locating the quality GUI and the code that gathers or displays available video quality options. Review the two screenshots and determine how codec information should appear and whether available codecs can be detected. Done means the quality interface shows the codec for each relevant option and reports possible codecs when the extension can determine them.
