0.29.1 (latest version)

Steps to reproduce the bug

I just recently noticed that for some videos, NewPipe will (wrongly) think that there are resolutions for that video that DON'T exist. (A link to an example video is at the bottom.) I noticed this when I was going to download a certain video. In NewPipe, the highest resolution (that NewPipe THINKS is available) is 1080p. If you open that same video in a browser, the highest resolution for that video is 480p.

Expected behavior

The expected behavior is that NewPipe should only detect resolutions that actually exist.

Actual behavior

Instead, NewPipe (wrongly) THINKS that certain videos have resolutions that they DON'T have.
