drop youtube_dl in favour of pytube #11

Due to recent DMCA takedown of youtube_dl, I suggest to use pytube instead. Also it is much faster at fetching stream urls, at least when running on my raspberry pi 2.

Also I add a branch to use your code with snapcast, have a look if you like.

what about yt-dlp instead?

CarlosDerSeher commented 12 months ago

Yeah. I don't really use this anymore, so...

Also I heard youtube_dl is online again so there is no more use for this pull request I guess?

I'm not using this project anymore so I'm not maintaining it either. Feel free to fork it if you want to continue using/maintaining it.
