I just installed Python into a Linux shell running inside a usermode x86 emulator running on my iPad, so I could run yt-dlp to download a video from the German public TV website, just so I don't need to rely on a connection later.

I could have also gotten up from the couch and used my laptop.

Starting yt-dlp alone takes 53 seconds.

@blackspear then I have to find one among all those sketchy sides, which seems more awful and time consuming than the tried and trusted way of yt-dlp.

@jer fair point. Another solution that leads to frustration
