   @lunch Not sure, looks also a bit like the youtube-dl maintainer doesn't have enough time (or will) anymore

     @aearil is this because of the stupid dmca thing from earlier this year?

     For any of y’all that have been having issues with youtube-dl being throttled to ridiculous levels, it seems that google is on it’s BS again, and that youtube-dl isn’t maintained anymore [0].

     That said you can instead use the yt-dlp fork that fixes this issue and probably more [1]

     Also, if you’ve been using mpv to watch youtube, you can tell it to use yt-dlp by adding this line to .config/mpv/mpv.conf : script-opts-append=ytdl_hook-ytdl_path=yt-dlp [2]
