--h264 options #70

Please add the --h264 option so that it downloads the best resolution (1080р60) available in this format on YouTube, because if a better quality is available, say 1440p, the program will not download anything in the best mode and will only display the text: The qualities you selected ended up unavailble for this stream You will now have the option to select from the available qualities Available video qualities: audio_only, 144p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p, 720p60, 1080p60, 1440p60, best Enter desired video quality:

Odd, I thought I had accounted for this. Can you post what version of ytarchive you are using by running ytarchive -V?

on1razor commented 2 years ago

Version 0.3.0 was installed, I updated to the latest version 0.3.0-4d48464, the problem disappeared and the program now does not display messages but downloads best video. But the --h264 option would still be useful, it would tell ytarchive in what format I want to download the stream in h264 or vp9

Yeah, I can still add it, but in general that defeats the purpose of using 'best' then.

I don't think so. I want to have the best available h264 and it would be great if I can do this with --h264 and best. Or is there another way to get this combination?
