you-get seems to be a well established web scraper which can download videos from many sites including YT. This could be a very nice fallback solution in case yt-dlp doesn't work for some reason.

To be checked if you-get would work when yt-dlp fails. It won't work getting rate limited, but for other problems, would be nice to have multiple paths on the BE.

Objective:
Test this new scraper, add a new fuction on the backend and try to see how it works with our core. Report your findings here. If your test is successful, you can prepare a PR to get it merged.

Recommended for 1st timers as it requires almost no knowledge of the codebase.

Hi! I've been playing around with you-get to check if it would be reliable as a fallback and it doesn't work with YouTube. It looks like it's has issues with the API. But it's working fine with other platforms like TikTok.
