Add support to yt-dlp for extracting both channel and video information from Avideo user accounts

[sysfu]

I know that Avideo relies heavily on yt-dlp to import videos from other well known video sharing sites, but it seems that this is a one-way street.

I'm trying to download and backup an entire Avideo channel but yt-dlp fails on both channel downloads and individual video urls. This is the command I'm using to attempt downloading an entire channel:

yt-dlp -ciw -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" -v

Would it be possible to work with the yt-dlp team to add an Avideo parser?

FWIW I noticed that yt-dlp sometimes succeeds, perhaps 40% of the time.

Start by reporting a bug on yt-dlp to get their attention. It should not be hard for them to fix, unless you've got obfuscation turned on the video URL is sitting right in the HTML.

You're doing much better than me, I had 100% failure rate.

Will do, thx
