Thanks jack_666,

I am using:

yt-dlp -f "616+140" --extractor-args "youtubelayer_client=all" "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZN2b2rcL4A"

Please can you confirm the correct command as this only downloads the lower bitrate of 1606k. on 24.9.23 yt-dlp version.

Cheers

Steve

im the same as you, if you have premium account you can add cmd with --cookies-from-browser firefox or --cookies-from-browser chrome to download premium high bitrate

There is no 'Bitrate' value in 'HLS playlist'. Therefore 'yt-dlp' incorrectly calculates the size of the media content 'm3u8'.
