Default egybest-conf.json

{
    "mirror": "https://egy.best",
    "quality": {
        "2160": 1,
        "1080": 2,
        "720":  3,

Quality

Lower Number = Higher Priority

It’s set to pick the highest quality available by default.

Mirror

You can set it to a specific EgyBest instance, but these go up and down all the time, the default “mirror” is https://egy.best, which is not actually a mirror, it’s just a load balancer that redirects you to a working instance.
