      Hi, it seems as if i cannot download certain episodes of two IQIYI Series in proper quality, instead of 1080p i get only 240p.
      The episodes affected are numbers 37 - 40 of Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty II To the West https://www.iq.com/album/strange-tales-of-tang-dynasty-ii-to-the-west-2024-veanvdbpch?lang=en_us and episodes 35 - 40 of Mysterious Lotus Casebook https://www.iq.com/album/mysterious-lotus-casebook-2023-hg4cefqzed?lang=en_us













      I would be grateful for any help.

              The Episodes are released in 1080p, i have already watched both series before downloading them, but i will give your suggestions a try, thanks.

              Looks like 1080p is DRM protected (need key to decrypt)
              but user-agent iPad works for me (compare with #5) - sample
