Nice, thanks for sharing this.

"#EXTVLCOPT:no-ytdl" is still printed in all cases so I don't see how
that works. More generally, it doesn't extract any metadata at all in
the main case, does it? That's really problematic.

That would also be a reason why going through the playlist demux can be
limiting and confusing.
