Example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIVms5W0PqQ - has 1080p60 option, but the file we have is in 720p lbry://attack-on-titan-2-review-fight-on#bb202489329ca6f7639e38101c5fc83e265088e7

Niko mentioned we are using a setting for the yt downloader that's supposed to get the best qualify video available. A user recently reached out asking what format his videos will be uploaded it and when I did some digging, it looks like we are only grabbing 720p versions. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIVms5W0PqQ - has 1080p60 option, but the file we have is in 720p lbry://attack-on-titan-2-review-fight-on#bb202489329ca6f7639e38101c5fc83e265088e7

@tzarebczan i think that with the latest changes it always picks the best quality available. have you see instances where this is not true?

I think it's only grabbing up to 720P, which is probably the largest we want due to storage constraints. Would be good to know why it isn't trying to grab the 1080p copy.
