Do you plan to update your module to be Python 3 compatible? As you maybe know, I started working on it here: https://github.com/ruuk/script.module.yo...dl/pull/52
Also, I am pretty sure that you are aware of the Kodi Matrix change concerning Python add-ons (https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=351745), I am sure that a lot of add-ons use your module as a dependency, it would be great if YouTube-DL were available for Matrix users 
Looking forward to read your reply, thank you!
If anyone is interested, I have a version of youtube-dl that has been updated for python 3 so it will work in matrix. It also has the youtube-dl core version from 2020.03.24 included so it has the latest extractors. You can get it from my github user scott967 and a direct link to the release is Github release
I only use the addon with the youtube plugin addon so it hasn't had a lot of test from me.

Hi @
ruuk , i was wondering if you could make a matrix release of the addon?
I monkey wrenched a new version locally and got it working. I only had to alter addon.xml of your latest version and zip install it to Kodi Matrix. And do the same for one of my own addons.
Here is the changed addon.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<addon id="script.module.youtube.dl" name="youtube-dl Control" version="20.616.0+matrix.1" provider-name="Rick Phillips (ruuk)">

<import addon="xbmc.python" version="3.0.0" />
