My bad, I didn't read the code thoroughly, and I guess I'm not sure
what's passed in these fields.

Regardless, my point is, shouldn't the flat-extracted playlist just be
a list of the items' unprocessed HTTP(S) URLs? That way when each item
is opened, it's naturally handled by the ytdl access without any special
handling.
