> [!WARNING]
28+
> While this library brings support for downloading videos with yt-dlp, recent changes in Youtube have forced yt-dlp team
29+
> to require new dependencies for youtube videos (see https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/15012). These dependencies
30+
> are significantly big and not needed for all other backend supported by yt-dlp (only youtube needs it). These dependencies
31+
> are hence not included in this library dependencies (yet, see https://github.com/openzim/python-scraperlib/issues/268),
32+
> you have to install them on your own if you intend to download videos from Youtube.
