viflex -v -r 2160p "video url"When you do not specify the video resolution, the best progressive resolution is chosen, the difference between progressive videos and adaptive videos is that in progressive videos the video and audio are contained in a single file while in adaptive videos they are separated, most progressive videos have only 720p and 360p resolutions, this means that when downloading video in 2160p (4k) the video and audio will be separated, joining the files is a functionality to be implemented
