// readable string - ‘144p’, ‘240p’ etc
// $file = $ytdl->download(22, ‘mp4’); (prev version)

// Current and more readable
$mp4File = $ytdl->convert(‘mp4’, [‘type’ => ‘video’, ‘quality’ => ‘360p’, ‘fullPath’ => true]);

// Current Version — Pass fullPath to convert function to get fullpath of the downloaded file
