I'm offering 5USD for whoever adds yt-dlp support for Q-Dance Network (assuming it's DRM free)

[V3DX]

I figured out I can download Q-Dance Network streams with yt-dlp. This involves opening developer tools to filter for the m3u8 in the Networks option and then copying the link address of the m3u8. Then I could just use yt-dlp URL.

That being said, I'm still looking for someone to add direct yt-dlp support for Q-Dance Network content links so I don't have to search for the m3u8 for each different video link. Therefore, the 5USD bounty is still up.
