Hi everyone, I'm new to github and don't have much knowledge of programming languages but... I observe and try to understand (and solve)!
(I apologize if this topic was already present elsewhere: administrators can redirect it)
### Request: download BBC video in 1080p50 with YDL-UI (version 2021.12.17) by correctly setting in "custom format selector" the variables between [...], which also prevent its redirection.
As you can see in the log text below, between the 2nd and 3rd lines the media changes name (from "m001cqwp" to "m001cqwn"):

The custom format selector in YDL-UI sets the --format flag when calling youtube-dl. Support for different formats are handled by youtube-dl not YDL-UI.

I am currently using YDL-UI Version 2021.12.17.
As you can see in the log text below, between the 2nd and 3rd lines the media changes name (from "m001cqwp" to "m001cqwn"):

Reading and matching the posts https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/30136 & https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/3463 (and particularly @edent 's expertise) I am convinced that it's possibile properly set YDL-UI for download 1080p50 videos (whose source perhaps is the media before the redirect in "Downloading media selection JSON"?)...
Thank you for any help you would like to offer to me
