Can't do anything with Reddit via this.

[vlakam]

The issue that youtube-dl can't do "best" with reddit, but when you do change format to "bestvideo-bestaudio" there is no .url field in the answer, but many urls via available_formats. So you can't do much.

Attaching example of problematic dump-json
