Title

Bump YT-DLP min version to 2026.3.3

Description

Updates yt-dlp dependency from 2025.09.26 to 2026.3.3. This fixes a critical issue where spotdl was unable to download songs due to YouTube format compatibility errors that newer versions of yt-dlp have resolved.

Related Issue

#2623

Motivation and Context

The older yt-dlp version (2025.09.26) was causing downloads to fail with "Requested format is not available" errors. YouTube frequently changes its video formats and structure, and yt-dlp requires regular updates to handle these changes. Version 2026.3.3 includes fixes to address these format compatibility issues, allowing spotdl users to successfully download songs again.

How Has This Been Tested?

  • Verified that spotdl can be installed with the new yt-dlp version
  • ran tests
  • Manually tested basic download functionality with the updated dependency
