YouTubeResource now uses proxy download by default (set useproxy=False when initializing if you don't need proxy)
call yt_resource.get_resource_info() to get ricecooker-like dict of metadata. If you need the raw info dict returend by YoutubeDL access yt_resource.info
call yt_resource.download(base_dir) to get metadata AND download the files (resource and children will have filename attribute)
call yt_resource.get_resource_subtitles() to obtain the raw YoutubeDL info_dict metadata, which contains subtitles under the subtitles key
Changes since last week:
use proxy only for getting metadata
added ignoreerrors = True to options
This avoids erroring out when hitting private/geolocked videos (this results in new problems extract_info returns None or if it's a playlist, the result will have entires a list of None values). We handle those cases by re-raising (a ValueError).
