Description
Currently the NewPipeExtractor doesn't handle all Itags. Some because "it's not well supported in older devices" (e.g. Opus). Some because we "Don't add VideoOnly streams that have normal variants". Some because we don't have added HDR support. Some others are just missing. IMHO we should just add all Itags, since NewPipeExtractor is just an extractor. We should let the frontend (e.g. NewPipe most of the time) handle choosing the stream from the available ones. Also the FPS is often incorrect (30 instead of 24).

Research direction
Start by reviewing the NewPipeExtractor stream extraction paths and the existing Itag handling. Identify which Itags are omitted, including Opus, video-only variants, and HDR streams, and verify how FPS values are assigned. Done means the extractor exposes all supported Itags with corrected FPS values while leaving stream selection to the frontend.
