    Downloading videos via yt-dlp and playing via MPV will not take all the RAM

    Depends on how big the video is and how large you have your mpv buffer set to ;)

      A buffer of upto 1 minute will always work fine. MPV defaults are fine. Browser will always be worse, no matter what. (Playing to the bait…)
