YouTube Player getCurrentVideoConfig().args.adaptive_fmts is undefined

When playing 360 video, the adaptive_fmts property that is retrieved via the YouTube Player API:



player.getCurrentVideoConfig().args.adaptive_fmts


is undefined.
This value is read within the Player.onReady event callback.
I've noticed that other args appear to be populated however adaptive_fmts is not.
After refreshing the page once, the adaptive_fmts becomes defined, so the issue seems to occur only on the first time a new 360 video is played on YouTube.



Is there another callback (besides Player.onReady) that would signal when adaptive_fmts is ready and populated?



Alternatively, is there another option for retrieving the projection_type once a 360 video is ready?



(Note that there appears to have been a change to the YouTube API around November 9th, 2018 where Player.getUpdatedConfigurationData() was replaced with Player.getCurrentVideoConfig(). I've noticed that this behavior where adaptive_fmts is undefined started around this time.)



Thank you
