Twitch no longer offering "Source/live" quality level #6115

Thanks for the report. This issue will be fixed in the next version. |

Well that was quick, nice. I eagerly await a new Windows build to try it out again. |
When using youtube-dl Twitch doesn't seem to be offering the highest quality level anymore which would be "Source" in a browser and I believe was labeled "live" as the format code. It becomes apparent when you watch a twitch vod in a browser then again using mpv+youtube-dl where the quality of the latter is worse. I'm not sure exactly when this stopped working but I've tried older versions of youtube-dl and the result is the same which makes me think something changed on Twitch's end causing this.
Output of youtube-dl.exe with -v. I believe previously there was a "live" quality option as well. This occurs with all twitch vods I've tested. I have not tried an actual live stream but I believe those also have this same problem.
Not sure if I have to put this in here but the expected result would be for the source/live quality option to be available and selected as the the best quality level. I looked through some of the recent issues and didn't notice anything like this before creating this ticket.
