Which backend do you use with youtube-dl-wpf?

[database64128]

youtube-dl-wpf currently supports both youtube-dl and yt-dlp. The rise of yt-dlp was largely due to youtube-dl's lack of maintenance. youtube-dl hadn't really been active for the better half of 2021. At the beginning of 2022, youtube-dl was taken over by some new maintainers, and the primary goal of the project became "backward compatibility with Python 2.6". The future of youtube-dl, as outlined by the new maintainers in ytdl-org/youtube-dl#30568, isn't really something I agree with.

I'm considering dropping youtube-dl support. Dropping youtube-dl makes it easier to have better integrations with yt-dlp. There have already been features that are currently difficult to implement due to the differences between youtube-dl and yt-dlp. GUI for external downloaders (#83) is one example.

Do you still use youtube-dl-wpf with youtube-dl? Will this affect you? Feel free to participate in the poll and leave comments.

yt-dlp is for sure the most used nowadays
