I want to use youtube-dl to download some video with a GUI. I've hoped that I could use the progress reported by youtube-dl to show a graphical progress bar in my GUI.
The problem is that parsing individual bytes is much harder than parsing lines of text. This is why I'd like a switch on youtube-dl to use \n instead of \r when reporting the downloaded status of the video so far.
