> In most builds mpv has yt-dlp integrated, you can directly pass the URL to it.
Last time I was passing youtube URLs to mpv, it relied on having an executable named youtube-dl.exe somewhere visible to the mpv executable. To get it to work with yt-dlp, I had to copy and rename the yt-dlp executable.

Have they switched to supplying their own youtube downloader instead of just working with whatever you happen to have in your path?
Ay, but then I don't get to teach beginners about the unix principle and how easy it is to pipe stuff between different tools :)
Thanks for the heads up regardless, I'm sure there was others who didn't know, who learned something new! :)
