All I can say is that as of right now yt-dlp requires npm as a build/fetch dependency and deno as a runtime dependency. Hence the PR was created as multimedia/mpv with YTDLP=on requires those dependencies. If there's a "better way" of providing the necessary javascript infrastructure to yt-dlpn I'm certainly not opposed to it. But that seems to be a separate/secondary issue not directly related to multimedia/mpv That being said, I'd personally still argue that getting a javascript interpreter installed when installing a (minimalistic?) media player is not exactly POLA compatible or generally desirable. ~ jbohome | help
