Description

For the first video(available up to 1080P), only 720P is offered, when tested with another video up to 480P it download the right resolution, but -F is not working properly, it downloaded correctly several days ago with 1080P, knowing that Pornhub has recently made available 1080P without Premium, could this be the issue?

[tezJR]

I think (but am not certain) 1080P has been available without Premium for longer than -F has output only one format, but Pornhub likely changed something that made youtube-dl somehow see only one.

Any update on this?

The pornhub extractor currently only detects & downloads only 720p even though a 1080p version exists (-f best only gets 720p).

Example: https://pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ph5d52f264a58a3 is available in 1080p for free/unregistered users but youtube-dl only downloads 720 and -F also only shows 720p (and not 1080p and not even 480p).
