You plan on full metadata extraction and video format selection getting
added before it is released and enabled by default, right? Wouldn't want
to confuse users as to why those aren't working anymore.

What about error management in case the installed youtube-dl gets
outdated and fails? Lua playlist scripts attempt to point the user in
the right direction, and there is some established knowledge base among
users for updating the script in that case.

Here this doesn't even make a difference between unsupported website and
failure for a supported website. Also does this currently litter stderr
with a stack trace every time an unsupported HTTP stream is opened?...
