             Bug #: 1528
           Summary: Youtube Videos Download in SD
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gPodder
           Version: 3.0.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: low
         Component: Application

I have used Miro as my software of choice for downloading video podcasts for a
long time. Although, the software is becoming bloated and buggy. I found
gpodder and was very happy and thought I had found the perfect solution. Sadly,
I've found a flaw in the program that makes it impossible for me to use.

I use a lot of Youtube user profiles as my video podcasts. I want those videos
to always be downloaded at 1080p or 720p. Sadly, with gpodder 3.0.1 on Windows,
I am finding that it always downloads the very small SD version.

I did some digging around and did find the youtube.py file. Inside, I found a
line that states:

def get_real_download_url(url, preferred_fmt_id=none):

I don't really know a lot about how this coding works, but I played around with
changing none to 37, which defines 1080p. I changed all of the
"preferred_fmt_id=" lines in the document to 37 and still the SD version was
downloaded.  

Perhaps this is a bug with Youtube? Any solutions would be GREATLY appreciated.
