I think the issue may be that the "High" quality option has been replaced by a new "Medium" quality option on those videos. I think the third party apps don't know what to do with that name.

Yeah this has some API implications. I've posted about it here, but basically this change means that third-party apps only have access to low and HD quality options.

@antime: @conmulligan: Actually I think the medium (the new high?) is being sent as the low and the low isn't getting sent at all.

It seems like the old options of Mobile (700kbps), Low (1000kbps), Medium (1800kbps), etc were replaced with Mobile (1000kbps), Low (1800kbps), Medium (2500kbps)... it's been actually changing and somewhat random on recent videos, some of the bitrate setting gaps have been ignored entirely. I've had to check the filename to download the right one for my bandwidth instead of relying on the labels, and sometimes spend a lot more time waiting to watch.
