Use youtube-dl package

[RossComputerGuy]

Wouldn't it be easier to use the youtube-dl package instead of having to download the executable?

The issue I found is that youtube-dl as a module worked like 1/15th the speed of the executable. I opened an issue about it and nobody got back to me so I just rolled with the executable

I had the same problem using youtube-dl package, I made a pull request that probably fix that :)

Can you link the PR @fredericgermain ? . Would be interested in seeing what your solution was.

Very cool, nice work that could have saved me a decent chunk of time if that had been already merged ;P

Strange thing, I still experience this slow behaviour when specifying the format, on 3.1.0 or 3.0.0
