Watching YouTube videos at higher resolutions
Yes, it's (finally) true, and you'll probably have noticed it if you watched this.
This week I was digging into this because of an article I read on Corriere della sera.

- fmt=18: with this parameter, the video resolution will be set to 480x270 pixel2 and stereo audio
- fmt=22: with this parameter, the video resolution will be set to 1280x720, which is a pretty interesting resolution if you like watching full-screen videos

Enjoy!
