Use yt-dlp instead of youtube-dl

[koyuawsmbrtn]

yt-dlp downloads much faster and receives more patches. It seems that this is the successor of youtube-dl.

Thanks for the hint with yt-dlp. Didn't know it existed

If you need to use it instead of yt-download i'm pretty sure an shell alias make the job done (if it use through the command line call)

something like

alias youtube-dl="yt-dlp"

in ~/.bashrc

I just did a symlink in order to use that

A better way is to put the path and the name of the executable (yt-dlp) in your config file.
plugin: youtube: youtube_dl: path: "/home/botmaster/src/yt-dlp"

A sample configuration:

debug: true
language: en

main:
  logfile: "/home/botmaster/logs/bot1.log"
  ducking: false
  automute_if_alone: true
  stop_on_unregistered: true
  whitelist_enabled: false
  control:
    string: "."
    message:
      private_only: false
      registered_only: true

  fifo: "/home/botmaster/mpd1/mpd.fifo"
