Use youtube-dl if available

How's this idea to you?

Pretty straightforward explanation:

Let's imagine we are parsing some thread/gallery. By default gallery-dl seeks only for links it can handle on its' own. If we are passing corresponding option on start it also seeks for links supported by youtube-dl and saves them in memory. After finishing thread/gallery, youtube-dl opened for downloading these supported links. After finishing them, youtube-dl is closed and gallery-dl proceeds.

I don't really like this idea, as this seems a bit out of scope of what gallery-dl should be able to do. It is also already possible to do what you described with the help of a bit of shell scripting:

• Get all URLs from a site (wget/curl + regex or gallery-dl -g r:[URL] > urls)
• Invoke youtube-dl with each one and filter them by exit-code
• Use gallery-dl on any URL with non-zero exit-code

Or you could use the --write-unsupported cmdline option and use youtube-dl on the results of that one.

Understandable, thanks for answer anyway.
