Description

I want to download the best quality format served as a single file from this URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBYbqh4QgNU

The file that gets downloaded is only 640x360 resolution even though 720p version is available.

I've read it, and it's not doing what is supposed to do, or am I missing something?
