    mpv also uses yt-dlp whenever installed, although it is referred to in the docs as youtube-dl for historical reasons. You can specify stuff with --ytdl-format (yt-dlp -f equivalent) and --ytdl-raw-options (=thing=thing,anotherthing=anotherthing). Pop in a --ytdl-format=251 with a YouTube playlist and you get a nice little music player.



  • I didn’t mean “in relation to the Chinese government” when I mentioned “Chinese surveillance”, I meant “surveillance of Chinese origin”. If you check ad and tracking blocklists, by far most popular ones are either in the US or China. For me that’s equally as bad as government sponsored. Although “government sponsored” usually implies “of big(ger) scale”, it’s not necessary.

    There are more than just 5 eyes.

    I am going to refrain from arguing, for I have taken note of your instance being “lemmy.ml”. As much as I hate discriminating by instance, I have to do what I have to do.
