Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I wanted to download a 360 degree YouTube video to watch later and I realized none of the formats listed were the 360 degree version. I don't know if this is a bug or just not a feature yet so I marked it as both. Feel free to let me know which it is and I will edit the post accordingly. I would really like to see this feature implemented if possible.
