Clean IP Address from metadata #98

So, after downloading a few videos, I noticed that in the .json file that gets generated, inside the field "formats" there's this "url" field that contains a temp link which includes your IP Address at the moment of download, example: "url": "https://rr1---sn-p25g5uvqvn-jvgl.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?expire=1667531352&ei=-C1kY5bhOIjWxASryZa4DQ&ip=0.0.0.0 I replaced it with 0.0.0.0 but it should be quite easy to find, this file also gets added on the video as well so making a script to automatically change every .json file after downloading is not an option, I think removing this bit of personal info would be a good change, I'm not aware if this is the only piece of info that would be nice to remove though.

Searching in Discord I found this: --parse-metadata ' :(?P<url>)(?P<manifest_url>)(?P<formats>)'

The only problem is that it gives an error then trying to download, so it might be an outdated way to fix this problem, but maybe it helps.

This is better addressed by yt-dlp rather than this script.

I agree with @ankenyr this is out of scope for those scripts.
