Fantastic. This is the beauty of open source. `youtube-dl` has had quite a number of breaking issues, where fully working PRs were raised and tested but not merged for weeks and with no communication.

I am glad to see `youtube-dlc`. Please, support the self updater as well (if it is not supported already). For my archival servers, I have a cron job that updates every day, I hope I can do that with youtube-dlc too.

Yes that is exact one of the reasons why I created this fork. The self updater should hopefully work in a future release. To be honest I haven't dealt with that yet. But feel free to open an issue so it's on my TODO-list.
