Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

As you can see from the output log, i want to download this 360 video from YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26xm166mY2c), first strange think is that youtube-dl think that 720p is the best format (maybe because of the rate of the video and not the resolution?), but the most important strange think is that if i download 720p version of the video i get a 360 video that i can watch in my player

but if i download 266 format version (best resolution) i get a video that is not playable as 360 degrees

How can i download the best resolution 360 degrees version of the video?
Thanks a lot
