Description

Hello, when i want to download from this live stream 4K quality, yt-dlp doesn’t report/detects additional 1440p&2160p, also this happens on other 4K live streams, for normal videos ie non streaming everything is OK.

The solution for yt-dl is to download a lower resolution and stand further away from the screen, wear mucky glasses, or whatever, so that you can’t see the difference.

For yt-dlp, the solution is to use --live-from-start (https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/4959). Technically, (though OP is using yt-dlp), the reported issue does exist for youtube-dl since there is no live-from-start support
