Discussion: Consideration of migrating to yt-dlp for recommended downloader #14

Hello, thank you for this plugin. I've been using it a bit and it's been great so far. However, I wanted to ask about migrating off of youtube-dl and moving it to yt-dlp. Given that youtube-dl is not as regularly maintained, there is a lot of additional functionality provided by yt-dlp. One specific one that I take advantage of is that it is not throttled when downloading.

Right now I can still get this plugin to work with yt-dlp and some adjusting, but wanted to see if you though it would be valuable to switch it over formally?

Very much agree, yt-dlp is way better than youtube-dl.

+1 youtube-dl is slow thanks to google throttling it.
