To test this, you will need to download the yt-dlp exe from here , and add it to the path environment variable. |

Closes #1
This solution uses the yt-dlp program to download youtube videos. It looks for an executable called
yt-dlpon the path, and executes it. The user will have to download yt-dlp first and add it to the path environment variable. This task can be automated by replacing the download of Drifty with an install script which will download both drifty and yt-dlp and add them to the path.I know using yt-dlp sounds like a hacky solution, but the task of downloading youtube videos has proven to be quite difficult because of the various mechanisms youtube has put in place to prevent that. yt-dlp also has a ton of other features that can be leveraged to make Drifty a lot more useful.
