Quality upgrade

Sometimes YT takes a while to process non-potato versions of videos, and it'd be cool if previously-downloaded videos would be checked for higher-quality versions during scans, and/or allow a setting to delay download if it's below a threshold quality.

I like this idea. I've downloaded a few very new videos recently in potato quality (640x368 😱) so it would be useful to have some type of quality profile check, or perhaps for new videos, a "minimum video age" config before downloading to allow YT the time to process them at higher quality levels before we attempt to download them.

Maybe make it so it check the resolution using ffprobe, and if it matches the objective, keep the video as-is. If not, then check with ytbdl what's the best available resolution, if it's an improvement, redownload. It would be a great feature.
