I'll have to take a look, I know there is a delay in the update due to the way Firebase talks to our DBs. But I'll check that the updates didn't break that altogether.
This was related to another video issue here - https://www.giantbomb.com/forums/bug-reporting-33/download-quality-options-disappearing-1904173/
As of this morning it should be resolved. It's worth nothing that videos and 2015 and earlier will likely have only `hd_url` and `low_url` options. This is again due to how the video bitrates have changed over the years. Also we offer more video quality options now than we did back then so many older videos don't have the same number of renders as we do now.
This issue should be resolved now. I was able to see HD and High options return on 13 Deadly Sims, Beast in the East, and a few other shows from this time.
Just a note on videos from 2015 and earlier (i.e. Metal Gear Scanlon season 1 and 2 at least). Those shows will show with HD, Medium, and Mobile. That is due to the old threshold we had for video bitrates. We have higher bitrates now so what was a low bitrate in 2015 is now the same as a mobile in 2022. Nothing has changed with these videos, just how they are mapped in the options dropdown.
Hey all, the download quality options should be restored now. If there are any specific videos that still have issues just post a link here and we'll check it out.
