Log youtube-dl version and warn if known to have issues.

[auouymous]

The logging might help with debugging youtube-dl issues, and the warning can be used to flag known broken versions.

Thanks, good idea. But how can one update the youtube-dl which is used by GPO under windows? It’s something I really would like to know. When I use youtube-dl stand alone I do it with „youtube-dl -U“. But I haven’t figured out where this program is actually located in GPO and how to make sure GPO is using the latest version. I appreciate your work on GPO. Thanks Ben

The warning would only trigger for issues known at the time of a gpodder release. When 3.10.17 was released, it was known that youtube-dl versions before 2020.11.12 had issues. Even though 3.10.17 fixed part of the issue, an updated youtube-dl would be required to properly work.

I assume the windows version includes the version of youtube-dl available at time of release, and this warning would never be shown for someone using a bundled version. If this is true, you can update the bundled youtube-dl by grabbing the newest git version of gpodder at https://ci.appveyor.com/project/elelay/gpodder/build/artifacts.
