[Question] No combined 1080p video + audio with DASH

[sskras]

Describe the bug

Trying to download some video from invidious.projectsegfau.lt.
I would like to get 1080p. But I get video+audio only at 720p.
1080p is available as video only. [1]

I followed #3327 (comment), and DASH is enabled. [2]

Q: is this a bug or some misconfiguration, or a missing feature?

Steps to Reproduce

1, go to https://invidious.projectsegfau.lt/watch?v=WNgu0zRwKJE
2, open combo-box under "Download as:"
3, find no 1080p entries with video+audio

– The invidious instance version: 2023.04.05-525e4bd @ master

DASH is a technology that combine two streams, one in audio and the other the video. It does it on the fly through JavaScript.

You can't download both the audio and the video merged in the same file. That's a limitation of YouTube, they do not offer this ability.

You should use a tool that allow to do that like youtube-dl.
