I've installed the cobalt in my own machine and i dont know why it just dont download more than 360p quality (it does download but without any size) and the same occurs when i try to download in mp3

good things to metion: im running in a aarm64 webpanel and the link is: https://d.gahtee.com
in video download the youtube links works if its a /short link. the bug happens in /watch links
in music download its both with the bug
and it only happen in youtube links

edit: youtu.be links works too, so my guess is something with link that already have the "/watch?v="

edit2:

this change somethings.. i've managed to console.log the link so probably the problem is with the api. still looking for solutions

my actual guess: the cobalt cant merge video and audio files for some reason, which explains the only 360p quality

problem solved in #101

im using ubuntu 22.04 and for some reason ffmpeg-static dont works pretty well so you have to connect in ssh and do the following commands:

sudo apt install nscd
sudo service nscd start

all credits to wu and @jojobii-ark

also other problem i was having its because im running through aapanel in pm2 module, so switching to direct node modules also resolved the other problem.
