reported byYouTube, which will be 1080p or 720p in some cases, so you no longerneed the -b option.For some specific videos, maybe YouTube does not report them to beavailable in a specific high quality format you\[aq]\[aq]re interestedin.In that case, simply request it with the -f option and youtube-dl willtry to download it..SS I get HTTP error 402 when trying to download a video.
