v3.0.1 - YouTube Support Fixed 🎥

🐛 Bug Fixes: YouTube Now Works!

Fixed YouTube support by switching to the more reliable yt-dlp tool.

✅ What's Fixed

YouTube Downloads Now Work

• Switched from ytdl-core to yt-dlp (command-line tool)
• Much more reliable - yt-dlp is actively maintained and bypasses YouTube's restrictions
• Tested successfully with 45-minute video

Smart Two-Stage Optimization

• Stage 1: 1.2x speed optimization
• Stage 2: If still >24MB, apply Opus compression
• Automatically stays under Whisper API's 25MB limit

Package Size Reduced

• Removed heavy ytdl-core dependency
• 2.0 MB → 0.77 MB (62% smaller!)
• No npm dependencies for YouTube (uses system yt-dlp)

📊 Real Test Results

45-minute YouTube video:

📥 Downloaded: 66.7 MB (audio-only)
⚡ After speed: 41.6 MB (-37.5%)
🎵 After Opus: 22.2 MB (under 24MB limit ✅)
