1080p performance VODs not available

This has been an issue since early November, but I forgot to document it publicly.

Basically, since early November, we've been getting 720p crap for "chaoqing" quality. Behold:

$ curl -sS -X POST -H 'version: 5.2.0' -H 'os: ios' https://plive.48.cn/livesystem/api/live/v1/getLiveOne -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"liveId": "5c19b9730cf27e3208982980"}' | jq .

      },
      {
        "streamName": "高清",
        "streamPath": "http://ts.48.cn/snh/20181228/gaoqing/5c19b9730cf27e3208982980.m3u8"
      },
      {
        "streamName": "超清",
        "streamPath": "http://ts.48.cn/snh/20181228/gaoqing/5c19b9730cf27e3208982980.m3u8"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Same happens on the web. From http://zhibo.ckg48.com/Index/invedio/id/830:

<input type="hidden" id="vedio_id" name="vedio_id" value="5c19b9730cf27e3208982980">

Attempting to retrieve the /chaoqing/ version gave us some sort of 5xx error (503 IIRC) in the beginning; now we get a more reasonable 404.

I've been pretty checked out and haven't contacted anyone about this. I'm also not sure if the livestreams are capped at 720p too these days. Maybe they can't afford the CDN bills anymore? What a joke.

Anyway, the point is: this is not a client-side problem. Pressuring the shitty company to do a little bit better is left as an exercise to concerned users.

提醒一下，之前飞飞说过了，2018年11月1日开始不再提供公演超清录播。。。
