Description
Back in the days when YouTube introduced HD quality support I remember seeing an HD indicator on thumbnails of such videos, however I don't remember seeing them anymore for a long time already. I tried searching for an existing extension, but there were nothing even close to what I mean.
It would be cool to have a preview of available video quality near its thumbnail:
| like so | or maybe using badges (in such case make it the first) |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Use names for values from 720p and above and a p-code for values below 720p.
Also consider adding a badge for HDR videos (there is already a badge for other features, but not for HDR).
I think this will be useful for most users and shouldn't be hard to implement as player can list all available qualities.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the thumbnail rendering and the player’s available-quality listing, then trace how existing badges are added; done means thumbnails show the requested 720p-or-higher names, p-codes for lower qualities, and an HDR badge where applicable.
