• DLPRO CAN DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE CLIPS!!!

this is the result of several internal changes:

• monkey patch the entire yt-dlp.utils._utils.Popen object instead of just its static run classmethod, capturing more process calls

this includes support for redirecting stderr -> stdout and also the Popen stdx streams being proper file objects

• ffmpeg downloader has a bodge to support http(s) urls

so like ffmpeg.wasm cannot directly download over http(s), but i can just... download for it in advance. definitely slower than doing it manually but eh yt-dlp seems deadset on it for clips

• updated ffmpeg.wasm

idk if this did anything but it is

dlPro 1.1.0 shipped with a very early beta of yt-dlp with jsc support, and now that it's further along the dev chain (and merged into master), ive updated my code to match some of the infrastructure changes (mainly that the js challenges are separated from yt-dlp itself, so dlPro turns on the yt-dlp setting to download them from github)

Changes

• dlPro now automatically fetches the latest version of yt-dlp. this means dlPro will never fall behind yt-dlp, and will be much more up to date with websites.
• dlPro integrates with yt-dlp's upcoming ability to run "js challenges", which allows yt-dlp to solve complex anti-bot challenges. This means dlPro once again works on YouTube! these challenges update with yt-dlp automatically, so dlPro will never fall behind yt-dlp.

Bug fixes

• fixed settings button
• fixed yt-dlp failing fetches on firefox
• shows a better error message when trying to download livestreams (which dlPro doesn't support yet)
