Description

Buzzvideo is a video sharing site that is shutting down on December, 31, 2022. For me, the primary use of this future extractor will to archive the videos and metadata. The ArchiveTeam already knows about this site, and I got the news from them. It is really hard to archive a fragment-based video site without youtube-dl (or it's forks).

Hello dirkf, please update the BuzzVideo extractor like https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/pull/6196 where it queries the wayback machine for videos via ArchiveTeam/buzzvideograb including metadata and comments (in yt-dlp version)
