[YouTube-API] Re: Chromeless player starts to play "small" quality despite what I tell it in the cueVideoByID

Hello Marc,

The engineering team identified an additional condition that caused
this behavior, and are trying to get the code to resolve it included
as part of Wednesday evening's push. Hopefully that will happen, but
if it slips until next week for some reason I'll update this thread.

Apologies for the ongoing inconvenience.

Cheers,
-Jeff Posnick, YouTube API Team
