The youtube-dl package is now empty. Please update your package to use
yt-dlp instead. It looks like there are two places in the package
source (moviepy/video/io/downloader.py and
examples/dancing_knights.py) that call youtube-dl, and in both cases
the usage is pretty simple and can most likely just be replaced with
calls to yt-dlp without further modification.
Since youtube-dl doesn't look critical to the use of this package, it
doesn't seem necessary to raise the severity of this bug.
