Description

The Video is playable on YT in 720 and 1080, but yt-dl only wants to do 360 for some reason. I hope I'm just doing something wrong. Video only download works fine. What's the matter here? (am I just being dislectic or smthn?)

[height=720] means best[height=720], for what does best mean read FAQ.

maybe you misunderstood. The Downloader doesn't want to download an mp4 formatted file in anything higher then 360p, even though the video is avalible in higher qualities. Parsing nothing results in a 360, parsing the you want something higher in a combined vid-aud results in it being not avalible.

Again: read what does best mean.
