Tiny tip for people using #NetBSD and yt-dlp to download videos/music from YT:
if you need to use ffmpeg to merge video with music, you can symlink ffmpegX
(where is X is version of installed software) and ffprobeX to ffmpeg and ffprobe
respectively in /usr/pkg/bin, then yt-dlp will be able to find binaries.
