Problem Description

When I set the quality low, such as 360p, it looks blurry instead of pixelated. I think that there should be an option to display low resolution video as pixelated instead of blurry, but make it default to blurry because that is how standard Youtube behaves and how most people would expect it to behave.

Proposed Solution

I don't know how graphics are shown, but I am guessing you would just need to add a toggle and program the part that shows the video to check if the toggle is set to pixelated or not and if it is set to pixelated just display each pixel of the low resolution video as multiple pixels on the high resolution output.

Alternatives Considered

I can't think of an alternative solution
