Switch to yt-dlp

[inyourface34456]

New Feature Request

Can you do a full switch to yt-dlp? This could make downloading much faster in general, and also while you are at it, add the flag --compat-options no-playlist-metafiles and (once you complete the conversion) -N 20? That would make things a lot easier on me because then i do not have to go and add all of the metadata myself.

This can be configured in your config file (see this example).
You can set youtubedl to point to your yt-dlp install and you can use params to set any option you need.

How would I do this in replit.com? How would i even make this compatible (it throws an error when I try to run it, to run it you have to type php -S 0.0.0.0:8000 -f index.php in the shell tab)?

It's easy for installation from Github sources.
Assuming you have python3 and the alltube itself installed and working:

Git clone yt-dlp to /vendor subfolder of alltube
Edit config/config.yml:
Change:
youtubedl: vendor/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/__main__.py
to:
youtubedl: vendor/yt-dlp/yt_dlp/__main__.py

Change:
python: /usr/bin/python
to:
python: /usr/bin/python3

That's enough to make it work.
As for other flags you want, i have no idea, never tried them.

You can also download the yt-dlp binary separately and update the config like so:

# Path to your youtube-dl binary
youtubedl: /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

# Path to your python binary
python: /usr/bin/python3

When I ran it, the first error that it yelled at me about was not having something called autoload.php. I do not know what that is or how to get it, since i just tossed all of the files in to replit.com and ran it. This is why I haven't figured it out already.

Got it working on master with very minor changes to the Dockerfile:
