wow! just use a real computer and be done with it. this reads like some normie complaining to his isp because the wifi sucks.

drop yt-urls into mpv with ytdlp backend, works for like a decade barring the occasional breakage of ytdl.

Most of my grievances are related to mobile experience so I'm not sure why are you talking about mpv.

I barely have any problems in desktop because issues like no pip and background play just don't exist there.

Not sure what part of not using your suggested command line tools but wanting to just use the official version like everyone else warrants calling someone openly stupid
