How to Get 1080p MPD Links from 7plus?

[Ram556]

I'm trying to figure out how to get the 1080p MPD (MPEG-DASH) stream links from 7plus (7plus.com.au) and reliably check whether the content is actually available in Full HD (1080p) or not.

So far, I’ve used browser DevTools to grab .mpd links while playing videos, but sometimes it only shows 720p or less. I'm wondering:

✅ Is there a reliable method or tool to confirm if 1080p is available for a specific show or episode?

🔎 Can you inspect the MPD file directly to check for height="1080" or is there a better way?

🧩 Are there device/browser limitations that restrict the available resolutions (e.g., only 1080p on Smart TVs or mobile apps)?

If anyone has experience pulling or verifying 1080p streams from 7plus or knows a good workflow to confirm HD availability, I'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks!

Work around:
Enter the mpd link in TVDownloader.
select 1080, when the download cmd window starts, youtube-dl.exe checks if 1080 is available, if not it stops downloading.

I am not getting the 1080p MPD. Very few contents are available in FHD, but I'm still only getting the 720p MPD.
