Fix quality: drop unsupported tv_embedded player client override

Browse Source 
yt-dlp 2026.03.17 dropped support for tv_embedded — it silently skips it
and falls back to web-only, which only exposes the pre-merged 360p format
(ID 18). The override was added to avoid SABR restrictions but is now the
cause of the low-quality downloads.

Removing --extractor-args restores yt-dlp's default client selection
(android_vr + web fallback) which exposes all formats up to 2160p.
