I have not updated to yesterday's version yet, but using this format
string on the command line on a HD video downloaded a 720p video, as
expected.
Immediate thought is that there's a stray config file somewhere still.
Why do you get the 'ytdl-format' thing? As far as the internet can
tell me, this is a mpv command line option.
