YouTube only has one stream that contains both audio and video and it's a 360p stream (it's also in the downloads list), all the others contain only audio or only video. So if you want both you'll have to download of of each and then combine them with an external tool like ffmpeg.

Couldn't there be an option that's automatically combined by FreeTube?

absidue commented 1 month ago

That question is already answered in the first link I provided. TL;DR: no.

What about providing an optional wrapper for yt-dlp?
