I need Help.

After doing research, it seems Tidal's music videos have an average bitrate of ~7mbps. All the videos I've tried are roughly half that. I've tried with older and newer videos. The posts that I have seen are a couple years old though. Is this Tidal's new average bitrate or am I doing something wrong or a problem with tidal-dl-ng?

What operating system do you use?

Windows

Version OS

Windows 11 24H2
