When it comes to YouTube on mobile, I believe the YouTube app currently defaults to h.264 (I'm not 100% sure on this, so I'm going to check in a bit...)

If you really want to get VP9 playing on mobile, you'll probably have to use a lower resolution like 480p or 360p.
mmh no, i downloaded a youtube video with youtube-dl and this video works fine, but it doesn't have audio tracks
