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.

Do they not get metadata about your machine even if you use yt-dlp?
