Yt-DLP and it's variation (Seal, YTDLnis, etc.), newpipe and it's variation (Tubular, Newpipe Sponsorblock, etc) already allow you to do this without having to get manual.

And I use YTDLP now. At some point they will make it inoperable. I'm honestly surprised they haven't sorted it out yet.

"Seal downloader" from the Playstore and "Seal" from F-Droid are 2 very different apps. One is a a clone riddled with ads, the other one is FOSS goodness. You are free to guess which is which.
