[BUG] Not finding the best resolution

[Phanttan]

I cannot find out the best resolution in video.
Example we can try to sample URL in README.

When we see in Youtube, the best resolution is 1080p

But in code, I am only seeing the best resolution is 720p.
I am using pytub the lasted version 15 and tried both DASH and Progressive Stream.

Thank you!

@Phanttan
Looked into this issue. It seems all the videos with resolution higher than 720p are progressive=False.

you can try to get the higest resolution video.

yt.streams.filter(adaptive=True).order_by("resolution").last()
or 
yt.streams.filter(progressive=False).order_by("resolution").last()

you can also include mime_type="video/mp4" to get the mp4 format to match the result of get_highest_resolution().

However, This will result in video only stream so if you are trying to download both video and audio, you'll need to use something like ffmpeg to download both audio and video and merge to a single mp4 file.
