Replace youtube-dl with yt-dlp

[ghost]

I suggest you to replace youtube-dl with its successor yt-dlp, because the youtube-dl repository has long been dead and the program partially no longer works, while yt-dlp is actively developing.

Project repository: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

Two issues about the status of the youtube-dl: ytdl-org/youtube-dl#30022 and ytdl-org/youtube-dl#29965

[xibr]

So far we don't know if youtube-dl really won't be maintained, also it's still working.

[ghost]

Sounds reasonable at the moment. I think you could make the final decision only in the future, when, for example, youtube-dl stop working. So it is better to leave this issue open.

[stooged]

i found that using this repo with the original youtube-dl.zip resource it ended up being unusable on youtube streams(downloads at 50kbps) so i just switched to the yt-dlp resource with this repo and can confirm it is working perfectly again at full speed.

This patch solves the issue. ytdl-org/youtube-dl#30184

[xibr]

updated youtube-dl binary https://github.com/yausername/youtubedl-lazy/releases/download/2021.06.06/youtube_dl.zip To apply the changes you must remove the app data and then update youtube-dl from the app.

Should we switch to yt-dlp?
@yausername what do you think?

yt-dlp has been working great for me.
if you do not make the switch then maybe make a branch for yt-dlp.

Yes it is, I added PR #120 to switch to yt-dlp
but before that, let's know what @ yausername's thinks.

@xibr sorry for the delayed reply. I am fine with the move. I can help review PRs if you create any.
Awesome work!
