Instead of relying on youtube-dl or yt-dlp, why not just do it all in emacs? If you fetch a youtube video url (e.g. the rickroll video https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) without executing any javascript (e.g. with wget), the resulting html includes all the video metadata info - just search for "var ytInitialPlayerResponse" and the json value that's assigned to it contains the video metadata needed by emms-info. > Daniel Best, Yuchen -- Dr Yuchen Pei | https://ypei.org | Timezone: UTC+10 PGP Key: 47F9 D050 1E11 8879 9040 4941 2126 7E93 EF86 DFD0 https://ypei.org/assets/ypei-pubkey.txt
