youtube 60 fps support?

[bugfood]

Hi,

Youtube claims to have added support for 60 fps videos.

http://www.polygon.com/2014/6/26/5847822/youtube-support-60-fps-video-tip-jar-fan-funding
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbsGxdAPhjv9UrLo19pS8teoRKj7funAy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3ny9zIckP0

Downloading the referenced videos results in a 30 fps file (or 30000/1001). Does specific support need to be added to youtube-dl for this?

Thanks,
Corey

Works for me, i think you must download best video...

Thanks for your response. What program did you use to display the information above? I'd do the same if I knew what to run.

In any case, given the "138 MiB" for the video stream above, I definitely seem to be getting a different file, since mine is only about 80 MB for the entire file.

Is this a user error on my part? I don't see any available options for selecting a better format.
