[Feature Request] yt-dlp integration

[couleurm]

I often get sent similar videos via the discord cdn (links to raw video files) and find myself downloading both of them with yt-dlp/aria2 before firing up video-compare to check the differences

Give yt-dlp a look if integrating it to video-compare sounds like a good idea to you

(ps: yes yt-dlp can download on many more sites than YouTube, including video files hosted on discord's cdn)

Hey @couleurm,

Thanks for the suggestion!

I think HTTP/HTTPS input as an alternative to files is a good idea. It's something I have a need for occasionally myself.

I'm quite busy these days, though, so I can't promise when I'll have the time to look into it.

Hey @couleurm,

I have just released version 20220915 which allows all supported FFmpeg protocols to be used in URLs (including HTTP(S) like you requested).

I hope it works for your use case!
