View higher quality videos on YouTube

I have the "always play high-quality" setting checked on YouTube, and still do not get the high-quality version of videos. I can reload with "fmt=18" added and immediately see the difference in quality. I think this is an error on YouTube's part, and until it's fixed I'm using this script as a workaround.
