For several months, users of youtube-dl (including indirect users, for instance via mpv) have been experiencing bandwidth throttling purposefully imposed by Google:
github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

Yet another reason to move to #PeerTube or plain old file self-hosting!

I'm pretty sure youtube-dl worked with peertube at some point, but AFAICT it doesn't any more :-(

Just tested with latest versions, youtube-dl seems confused by peertube 4.0 and can’t download videos

yt-dlp is working fine with peertube urls
