YoutubeDL can return non-video content #15

Closed loganwilliams closed 1 year ago

Currently this isn't handled well by the archiver. For example, if YoutubeDL returns a PDF, it will attempt to run ffmpeg on it, resulting in an error. We should be ready to handle non-video content coming from YoutubeDL (and more generally, ref #3)

This seems like an important issue, especially since ytd does work on many platforms that no other scraper does.

This has been fixed.
