If you like youtube-dl you should check out mps-youtube (https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube) which has the ability to use youtuble-dl as the backend I'm pretty sure (i prefer to use the native one personally)

It's also gpl vs youtube-dl's public domain.

I'm sure eventually I'll figure out a way to just do it in emacs. (I'm mostly joking... kinda... maybe.)

Then you should try - SMTube[0].

SMTube allow use "mpv + youtube-dl" for play videos.[1]

Funny that state[0] on PyPi[1] is [downloads|no longer available]

PyPI no longer tracks download counts on its own. Instead, they pipe access logs to Google BigTable, so you can BigQuery the heck out of them.
