Always pass youtube url to player #27

Hi, I don't understand enough about Perl to figure this out myself, but I think a setting or a new *VARIABLE* to always pass "youtube_video_url" to the selected player, even when pipe-viewer is falling back to the Invidious API to grab search results and comments would be nice.
Invidious nodes tend to be a little slower, and plugin support in the youtube-dl project (I removed the --no-ytdl arg in my config) for it is understandably slightly less maintained than its support for youtube itself. In my case mpv's "ytdl-format" setting isn't working as-is, and I think the reason might be that youtube-dl doesn't know how to select video resolutions with Invidious.
pipe-viewer's "-2", "-3" arguments do work, and I saw something to do with resolution in the config file, but I'd still enjoy the faster speed of watching videos from youtube itself, and unlike the rest of the API, that point will only ever fail if you get a http 503.

Hi. There is the *URL* special token than can be used for passing the YouTube URL to a video player.
