Yt-Dlp Sequence Diagrams

Yt-dlp os a powerhouse of the free internet. To break free from walled gardens, I've started to use Seal, an open source F-Droid Android app. It's just a shell over yt-dlp. Unfortunately it started to fail to download some videos. Do you have any tips for better use?

Auto-generated sequence diagrams are almost always useless. This one is no different.

Arrows need to be thicker. "Bold" doesn't work. Nitpick: "bold" doesn't really make sense in opacity settings.

How was this created?

is there a "format" of describing an architetcure/design in such a way that it lens itself to such visualization?

BTW the year is 2026 and we've got LLMs, is there, at long last, an easy way to have an YouTube downloader I can run in a container (say with Podman) that actually works?

Do I need to be logged in with a Google account for it to work?

I always, since decades I want to say, ran into troubles whenever I download Youtube vids (no matter which tool I use, yt-dlp or other). It works, then doesn't anymore.

Are you simply, reliably, downloading Youtube vids? How? From a VM? From a container? From your main machine while being logged on?

P.S: congrats to the guys at Google, you sure made that hard

Hey guys, look at what I didn't make. I paid money to have someone/something else do it.
