Right now youtube has implemented a new VR180 video format, when downloading, you only get a flat cropped version of the video, unless you watch from certain apps like Youtube VR, then you can choose to watch in 180 3D format. Can youtube-dl find these hidden links?

(Solution is to tell yt-dlp to use the Android client. See the linked issue above for further info.
