Please start a discussion explaining how to do it with custom commands. Many who use seal are not aware of custom commands and the solution to every issue users face is custom commands it's not a smooth experience

...custom commands it's not a smooth experience

Custom commands will never have a smooth user experience. It's for "advanced" users who already know what yt-dlp is and how to use it. If someone considers picking the right one from the tons of options of yt-dlp is tough, then developing and migrating such options into a GUI with smooth UX is much more difficult.

I understand that this kind of issue is quite annoying, but hard solutions are better than none. If you want a feature to be implemented in Seal, submit an issue or vote for it.
