Does yt-dlp still download webm/mkv? I just see mp4 recently when using a different downloader which only cares about best quality video+audio. Suspicious.

Also plain YouTube emits 360p garbage: with https://m.youtube .com/watch?v=Jbba3h8H0No on iShit there is only a 360p option. Seems that Safari+what-I'm-using does not work with DASH. YouTube removed the non-DASH methods of viewing 720p/480p/better (non-DASH=HTTP or whatever):

( from https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues?q=is%3Aissue+video+quality )

YouTube making their videos more inaccessible is annoying, but I can see this as a good thing. It means that more people will download videos to avoid the eyerot of low quality viewings. I even made a LAN-complete downloader for videos that I don't care so much about. Speaking of, I updated that yt.sh >>10812 - fixed crappy if statement, added restricted filenames options (might share code later).

>480p is better/watchable, but still bad
480p is especially bad with low-light of gradient-heavy videos; in that case, you need at least 720p. ( As seen on the first 2 or 3 videos of the following playlist, including https://web.archive.org/web/20240809055347/https://invidious.private.coffee/watch?v=qu7Gs3lj7Gw&list=PL3qiCyj2LnR7qWMatYcPjDOlagrtcT8QF&index=0 )
