[Feedback]: Enchantment ideas for the multi-audio Crunchyroll (or any video)

Suggestion

I found this project recently because of the DRM drama. Since it works while yt-dlp does not, I have noticed a few issues and fixed them in my custom app. One of the issues that I noticed right away is proper multi-audio support.

I did try only a few shows, and I noticed that sometimes both languages (Eng and Jap, that I tried) downloaded, but only the first language stayed because the lengths of them both are not the same. My assumption (without checking the code) is that if both videos are the same length, then they are merged, but if the length is not the same, then merge silently fails.

In reality, CR videos between languages often have different sizes (except for some of the latest ones), with the reason being that different languages have different logos at the start of the video, and then the rest is fine. Sometimes same is also at the end, but mostly at the beginning.

I got some code (in Python, not typescript) that can combine around 95% of CR videos automagically and 99% with a little manual tweaking (there are always some with extra clips in the middle of the video, and I never figured that out).

If something is of Interest (and I would like to help improve this app to the levels I had my personal app with yt-dlp before DRM), then I am willing to share general logic ideas or even some Python code.

Please let me know if that might be interesting.

P.S. Another big issue I have noticed about problems with the same language double subtitles, but I will create separate ticked about that.
