yt-dlp in two threads

[blanc]

Hi,

is it possible with yt-dlp, for an m3u8 download, to download the fragments in two threads so that the download process speeds up?

Example: for a video file with 100 fragments
Thread 1: frag1, 2, 3, ...
Thread 2: frag100, 99, 98, ...
After all the fragment download, yt-dlp shall merge them all to a video file as usual. Maybe this can be achieved with a Python code?

use parameter "-N", e.g. "yt-dlp -N 8 https://..."

Excerpt from the help page (Website or yt-dlp --help):

  Download Options:
    -N, --concurrent-fragments N    Number of fragments of a dash/hlsnative
                                    video that should be downloaded concurrently
                                    (default is 1)
