Describe the bug

A few weeks ago (idk when exactly) shorts started playing at a very low quality when viewed in the web app (LibreTube is fine), and there is no quality option.

1. Start playing any short in piped on the web, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNxmIx6bCDg
2. Video is very pixelated, and no option to increase the quality

Expected behavior

Short video quality should work like regular YT videos
