We use youtube_dl in routes/settings.py for retrieving profile anthems. It hasn't been maintained in almost a year, and retrieving media from YouTube is extremely slow because of it (~2 minutes for a typical anthem). This severely degrades user experience because we don't handle the long-waiting request task well either.

Is there a pypi equivalent to the yt-dlp project that's still maintained? Integrate with requirements.txt and routes/settings.py.
