[BUG] 4K format is not an option

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Bug Description
When loading a video that has a 4K version available on YT, the application is not showing this as an available video format for download.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Clone the repo, cd into the directory
  2. npm i
  3. npm start
  4. Paste example 4K video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHuogjpnu04)
  5. See that the highest resolution available is 1080p, there is no 2160p

I've tried this with multiple 4K videos both my own and others like the short video example above.

Hmm, maybe its network related?

Can you please share the video URL for your example image above? I will try that one.

Edit: Nevermind, I see it is the same one... I didn't think it was because even the file sizes at the matching resolutions is different.

Indeed, you've got some weird file sizes, its likely something network related
