The "default" downloader options (rate, retries, timeout, verify) are
mapped to corresponding youtube-dl options.
downloader.ytdl.logging tells the downloader to pass youtube-dl's output
to a Logger object.
downloader.ytdl.raw-options allows to pass arbitrary options to the
YoutubeDL constructor.
This change introduces 'extractor.*.retries/timeout/verify' options
as a general way to set these values for all HTTP requests.
'downloader.http.retries/timeout/verify' is a way to override these
options for file downloads only and will fall back to 'extractor.*.…*
values if they haven't been explicitly set.
Also: downloader classes now take an extractor object as first argument
instead of a requests.session.
URLs starting with 'ytdl:' will now be handled by youtube-dl.
There is probably a lot to fix and improve, but the basic use case
works.
TODO:
- format selection and ytdl options in general
- better filename/path handling
- ytdl support for "unsupported URLs"
- ...
