Research direction
The issue requests changing the backend to download video instead of audio only. Refer to issue #9 and the line https://github.com/Algram/ytdl webserver/blob/master/src/server/server.js#L40 where the current behavior is implemented. Investigate the ytdl core library options to set video format. The code likely uses ytdl(url, { filter: 'audioonly' }) and needs to be changed to remove that filter or adjust options. Check comments for any additional context.
