@TheCakeIsNaOH as you maintain the yt-dlp package, is this something you would want to pick up?

[TheCakeIsNaOH]

@pauby I took a look at it. This software requires yt-dlp and ffmpeg to be in the same directory as the executable or a subdirectory, so I don't know of a simple way to package it that would be acceptable for the community repository. https://github.com/kannagi0303/yt-dlp-gui/wiki/Getting-Started#use-yt-dlp-gui

Thanks for looking at that @TheCakeIsNaOH. I feel there should be some way around this and maybe it would be better to chat with the Community Moderators in Discord about a solution so I've posted a question in that channel.

[TheCakeIsNaOH]

There are some new configuration file options that allow setting the path to yt-dlp and ffmpeg: https://discord.com/channels/778552361454141460/897083678495232040/1083849858705805393

However, the configuration file is in yaml, so some PowerShell v2 compatible code would have to be written to modify the config file to set the path to the Chocolatey installed yt-dlp and ffmpeg executables.

I'm going to make this available to all maintainers. @TheCakeIsNaOH let me know if you are interested in picking it up.
