livestreamer "best" option issues on twitch 60 fps streams #1612

After twitch introduced different naming convention of streamed video qualities, "best" option has a problem with recognizing the best quality (720p60 or 1080p60 for example). It picks up 720p (30 fps) one with lower bitrate and quality.

$ livestreamer -o tst twitch.tv/brunecia best
[cli][info] Found matching plugin twitch for URL twitch.tv/brunecia
[cli][info] Available streams: 160p (worst), 360p, 480p, 720p (best), 720p60, audio_only
[cli][info] Opening stream: 720p (hls)

Hello,

Livestreamer is no longer being updated, due to the chief developer disappearing. You can find the continuation, Streamlink, which is based on Livestreamer and is actively being developed.
