Huh? youtube-dl does not include any JS or SWF bytecode - so there is
nothing to remove.
And I just checked the diff, and there are not blobs removed (which is
what I would have expected). The only things changed are:
* Signature decryption for youtube signatures is removed.
o The JS bytecode interpreter is removed - which AFAIU is not a
complete interpreter, but only tried to fetch the calculated URL
from the code.
o The SWF bytecode interpreter is removed - which also AFAIU is
not a complete interpreter.
* The IqiyiSDKInterpreter removed in youtube_dl/extractor/iqiyi.py -
theses seem to use some hard-coded authentication tokens for login
at http://kylin.iqiyi.com/
I can't see why this would require to replace youttube-dl by hypervideo.
