Two weeks ago, I was able to grab a video from video.vice.com and it would grab the 1080p video and the width would show as 1920 pixels and the height would show as 1080 pixels in MediaInfo. Now when I go to grab the same video, MediaInfo reports that the Original width is 1920 pixels and the Original height is 1080 pixels, but the Width is 1088 pixels and the Height is 612 pixels. The aspect ratio remains at 16:9.
I've tried with the latest youtube-dl, and looked for an option to "force" to the resolution that is displayed, but there doesn't appear to be anything like that.
I suspect that maybe Vice changed something on their site. Can this be looked into?
