Use the user-data/mpv/ytdl sub-property introduced in mpv-player/mpv@ff47926d6a to get youtube thumbnails instead of running yt-dlp.

This has 2 advantages:

  • It is much faster because thumbnails are downloaded immediately without rerunning yt-dlp, which is very slow
  • It works when yt-dlp requires a PO token, because there is no need to override the user's configured --extractor-args
