Description

When I try to download videos from viafree.no it only shows a maximum quality of 720p, but I know that video is available in 1080p. If I use a chrome video downloader extension, it works shows the 1080p version, but it is extremely tedious to download it from chrome and add the audio later when I could have youtube-dl do it for me.

It works fine if I choose 720p as the quality but when using 1080p it says that the format is not available.

I included cookies from the site, isn't that sufficient?

Can you tell me which chrome extension you are using ? I will try look at ydl implementation.

The 1080p is available if using another host for info:
'https://viafree.mtg-api.com/stream-links/viafree/web/%s/clear-media-guids/%s/streams' % (country, video['mpx_guid'])

However, the audio is separated from videos, so it is necessary to use the -f flag. It had been working on a solution, but when I asked for help, the response was useless. Nevertheless, someone more skillful may be able to solve this with the hint of the above host.
