[YouTube] Not all 60 fps videos are downloading with "best" setting #23974

@dstftw I'm not trying to be rude, but I did search and the only similar issue I saw in the sea of results was a user error being as to why the 60fps download failed. I'm doing bulk downloads and I don't have to time to seek out and special download hundreds of very specific 60fps videos. If I could get a link to the duplicate open issue or know what I'm doing wrong, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. |

I can confirm this behavior with the linked videos and hope for a solution. |

Description
The issues I have is that videos downloading or streaming with youtube-dl is incorrectly choosing the wrong "best" quality. On some 60fps videos it's getting confused and instead only getting the 30 fps version. I've tried these videos from this channel on multiple devices using MPV and just base youtube-dl, each time it would only do the 30 fps version UNLESS specified to download the 60fps version. It's worth noting this doesn't affect ALL 60fps videos, just some like the ones I posted. Examples:

Finally here is my youtube-dl config, just in case that is causing any issues somehow:
Any help on this would be great. I know I can specify the format, but I do mass downloads for archiving channels, and if this has been affecting any channels with high fps than that is potentially devastating. I also tried removing the --format, no difference. The only guesstimate my friend and I can make is that it's getting confused by the video only bit rate being lower/or different so it thinks the 30 fps bit rate is correct.
Here is another 1080 60fps video, however this one works FINE:
