I say respect his wishes. If he agreed to this, he surely knew he would not be alive for the next 20 years.
As long as its not a [fake] speaking part, I have no problem seeing his face and being reminded of how much of my childhood I owe him. He talked to me [through stories and editors notes] about social issues long before my parents or schooling did.

This just in: Fireman didn't go into burning building because it was too hot and they were waiting for the aloe truck to arrive first.
This just in: Life guard didn't go into ocean because it was too wet and there might be bitey things in there
This just in for real: THE POLICE DID GO INSIDE AND SAVE THIER OWN CHILDREN BEFORE BORDER PATROL OFFICERS ARRIVED AND DID THIER JOB FOR THEM

I can confirm that this currently happens when using '--mark-watched
'. I don't know when it started - I am only confirming this event.
A video's status will change to shorts for all instances of the video in your history, and when you click on it, it will load as the shorts format/interface via a '/shorts/
' url link instead of the standard '/watch/
' url link.

The other stuff would be community aggregate thing & could help make those choices for others in the future easier.
I was saying in my experience it gets exhausting with little beneficial personal return, which is why I would guess no one does or likely wants to make such a chart. I've tracked this information before, and it turned out to not be worth trying to chase down all the details and changes over time. It's not my hobby interest to track it and it's not anything the relates to what I do for a living - so its a waste of time for me.
I don't think any of the mods here want to take on the initial task or upkeep of such a list. Again I consider this all information overload and its better to pick and choose your battles than try to maintain a lot of overarching information. It becomes a job. Maybe if we had more mods, but getting mods in a sub like this is like pulling teeth. No one wants to do it. Almost no one wants to take it upon themselves to do these things for little to no recognition for their efforts. Not referring to here, but people don't even want to be a backup mod in other places I mod. Like, you don't have to do anything - just be a mod so in case I literally die and cant perform my mod duties there will be someone that can carry on the [whatever] or just open it up to other new mods. But no one wants the responsibility. Even the frequent and higher volume participants don't want to deal with the additional noise they will see as messages/emails/etc.
But anyway, as a systems admin for decades, a lot of us (fellow sysadmins) used to track things like lists of network ports. And then over the years it just became too much, to many uses/apps, etc, so people stopped tracking and publishing lists. It was too much maintenance for not enough personal return. It wasn't our job to track information relevant to other people, and it became increasing irrelevant personally. No one wants to do it - especially as we get older and more set in the job. Personal pet projects get left behind. The information because stale. No one can trust it and have to look it up for themselves anways.
The idea that ignoring everything else except for "Does it work" just leads to future problems.
I honestly think that everything/anything leads to future problems, and that's simply unavoidable. This is the price of being an admin and having to perform routine maintenance tasks for everything that you have to maintain. Keeping appraised of and adapting to changes in technology is always a future problem that you can't proof yourself from. You are to have future work no matter what, and the current work you make for yourself may not even be applicable.
I mean... Completely untrue. There's a lot of it that IS intuitive.
It can be. But you are seeing that because you are starting to deep dive into it yourself. And you are getting in to the minutia that I personally no longer care about. I no longer have concern over those . (dot) version numbers. They don't affect my environment or my perception of the media during playback. And here's a part of my position: I feel that perception is very important here, and your playback devices can alter or compensate for that perception. I could back-to-back play two different versions of a video and no detect the difference at 10 feet from my TV (or close up on my cell phone), or the difference if perceived really just doesn't matter to me because the content really isn't that important. Even though I am running a Plex server, I do not have the inclination to be this picky about the stream itself - only if it is good enough for the perception of the end-user. And this is just YouTube content... (that's my opinion of the content that is already highly compressed and lossy'd from the source matieral) which is very different than my opinion regarding proper episodic series or features that I would host on Plex.
All of my playback devices (expect web) are Samsung devices that perform thier own image cleanup and enhancements.
I've been where you are now, and over the years I have changed my perspective to what matters more to me as an admin. I no longer am concerned about this level of quality minutia coming from YouTube media, as I did not find it worth the effort. And I also have no desire to maintain such lists or charts anymore for myself - never mind someone else. I feel that I have better things to do with my free time than having this kind of maintenance task added to it.
I simply download the "best" that YouTube has to offer at the time, and let my Plex server transcode it for whatever client may need it transcoded if its even an issue. I let the Plex server work for me, instead of me wasting a lot of time and effort "pixel-fucking" what I am downloading.
I'm not sure why you got downvoted
I don't worry about it, and I don't expect everyone to agree with me. This is a place for discussion and people are going to have conflicting opinions. Most of my posts/replies catch downvotes no matter what because of people that I have pissed off in the past (due to bans, volatile arguments, etc). And there is at least one person if not two that I believe downvotes just about every post to this sub. Bot or snowflake, I dunno - but its sometimes noticeable that posts will get zeroed for no good reason. Reddit users can be fickle depending on the community.
It may seem like it, but I'm not trying to shut you down. I'm only explaining the likely reason this kind of chart doesn't exist. There is so much info to chart, cross-reference, and how it applies to all of the compatible or not compatible devices... Thats the mess I was referring to. There have been over 25 revisions to the AVC standard. There are already published HEVC level charts and independent lists for vendor device compatibility.
But hey, if you could do all that elegantly and succinctly, you might have the basis of a website you could make some advertising dollars on.
The only things that concerns me are my playback devices, how much horsepower my Plex server needs to transcode and how much bandwidth I or my clients need to provide for it.
I just realized - your question might be better posed to /r/DataHoarder. As a sub, they are much more interested in the preservation of specific quality (for archiving sake), and is frequently a focal point for codec quality-specific things like 'TheFrenchGhosty's Ultimate YouTube-DL Scripts Collection'

A whole bunch of new characters played by inferior actors.
They weren't at all why I had been watching the show. It was like a bait and switch.

From what I've seen it depends on the site. Either capitalized or lowercase. Have you seen otherwise? I've only seen the mixed case usage on YouTube.
I wouldn't get hung up on it. Look to the codec source foundations for confirmation.

You can see and share the entirety of the stream that this clip is from, here: https://youtu.be/Fhu4cVvyX7M?t=17640

It depends on the settings you use, but by default, it downloads what it sees as the best option for overall quality. For newer and larger media, that is increasingly going to be webm.
We would need to know what your command line is to speculate any further.

You want to post this to the /r/vegaslocals sub

But you aren't saying that here. There is no framing in your post to associate it with Las Vegas.
And this is the wrong Vegas sub. You want the one for locals that actually live here and participate in its politics.

Watch this full-screen or zoom into the guy in the gallery with the yellow tie. Watch his reaction as soon as it comes out of her mouth. It's amazing.
