I'm trying to download videos from Youtube in 1080p/4k; I receive an error. The videos are in 1080p/4k, so that's not the problem. Thank you.

[MrS0m30n3]

As the error message states, the requested format is not available. Try a different format.

Wouldn't it be nice to implement a convert function instead of just closing it, aka. it'll try to download either the source or the equivalent 1080p source and then convert it via ffmpeg?
