Yt-dlp - A few questions about Sound quality,Thumbnails and Output Templates (Music Playlist)
Any suggestions? for now when I want to download single tracks I use a spotdl fork and I have looked at ytmdl which I believe have support for Spotify metada, but other than that, having seen anything that can integrate with yt-dlp and not replace it.

Take an m3u of mp3's and download the official YouTube videos
https://github.com/deepjyoti30/ytmdl kind of does it but it grabs the mp3 not the video. I might have it pull the official video URL and dump those to a file then grab those.

This might be a repost but I was wondering if on there was a program (linux debian based) that would allow you to make searches on youtube for videos (preferely based on mpv) kinda line ani-cli for gogoanime ? (or if there's a way to repurpose ani-cli to search on youtube)
https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer is the one that I use right now

Is there any way for qutebrowser to play youtube videos with h264 codec?
youtube-viewer is imo also really, really fast with loading a yt video into mpv (doesn't use youtube-dl/yt-dlp).

Easiest way to install older versions of mpv?

Did anything change to youtube ads? Not blocked anymore.
I say this everytime when qb + mpv comes up, but in my experience youtube-viewer opens URLs a lot faster than if you would just use mpv (you can test this from the commandline, mpv/youtube-viewer $URL — be sure the appropiately configure youtube-viewer first, so that it directly launches mpv). It also has a pretty nice config for storing youtube-related playback preferences.
- Is there a lightweight youtube client?

Youtube UI
Do you mean like GTK Youtube Viewer for Linux computers, or NewPipe for Android?

Searching and playing youtube videos simply with one command using fzf or dmenu.
