Hi,
what brings you to the conclusion that the youtube-dl project is dead or
abandoned?
The homepage at
https://youtube-dl.org/ looks alive and up-to-date, the
last commit (which was a release as well) on GitHub
(
https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) is "just" 18 days ago?
And on my machine I can still download videos and/or audio only via
youtube-dl.
Well, when I started experiencing dog-slow downloads using youtube-dl, I
checked. I had the then-most current version - which was six months out
of date and the site hadn't been updated in six months. I still had
extremely slow download speeds (dial-up class speeds) using youtube-dl,
that went away entirely using the yt-dlp fork of it.
Trying the various youtube-dl fixes for the slow download speeds didn't
fix anything.
yt-dlp downloads multiple chunks in parallel, so it's extremely fast for me.
However, of course, providing alternative solutions is
beneficial as
well :)
Yup!
Best regards,
Jannis

Never heard of smplayer.
Mplayer can't handle YT URLs, it reports it can't seek backward in
linear streams. . The mpv fork can. I don't think it's using youtube-dl,
but who knows.
