Hello. This was mentioned in issue #65.

I do like the idea of integrating something like yt-dlp which can extract video and audio links from video streams. These links can then be routed to the aria2 backend and once completed can be merged together with FFmpeg.

However, youtube-dl (of which yt-dlp was forked from) was hit by a DMCA takedown in the past, and although it was eventually reinstated, if Google were to really want it gone (because video downloads are offered through YouTube Premium) there could be legal trouble again.

If Varia had this feature, it would be dynamically linking to the executable, but the executable of yt-dlp would have to be included in the binary release. So I don't know, I'm really split.

Very interesting ! We understand perfectly Mr @giantpinkrobots ! Concerning yt-dlp, I remember the controversy and github allowed the return of yt-dlp because it can be used by journalists and human rights activists to document and archive....

I don't like that we can ruin certain YouTubers who make good beneficial religious content so our beloved can blacklist youTube, on the other hand yt-dlp allows us to download from thousands of other sites hence the interest of this software, otherwise not need to integrate yt-dlp because there are open-source extensions/addons which allow us to download videos from streaming sites and we hope our beloved Varia Download Manager could be inspired by or integrate these efficient open source extensions which allow you to detect embed videos and instead of downloading them via the web browser, we can download them with the excellent Varia Download Manager please , yes we know it is very complex and difficult and we thank you very much for making this great downloader and this is why I proposed in my first post several open-source download managers which have the possibility of downloading videos....and adding this option of downloading embed videos will make Varia even more popular because it is easy to download youtube videos via other tools or websites but it is more difficult and complex to download the embed streaming videos which can be in full HD and our internet connection is weak hence the interest in downloading these embed videos!

here are the 2 open source extensions that seem to me to be the most powerful and updated to detect embed video streams:

Thank you so much !
