ffmpeg can't do the actual downloading, but if you do any converting/merging with youtube-dl it will use ffmpeg to do that. However ffmpeg can stream/download from rtmp and similar, but not YouTube, it's mostly just for doing literally anything with video files (and sometimes images).
yt dlp is what you are looking for
I downloaded and converted (to mp3) so many hour long mixes. My car is pretty old but it can play mp3 from an SD card, so long mixes are great for roadtrips
Haha I used to use that all the time until I got Linux-pilled.

I just want to point that you may have some issue with duplicated requests to your lemmy instance.
You should be able to process video through ffmpeg after downloaded from youtube.

I dunno, mate. I dunno
its a glitch. happens often
Nope, it can't. You'll have to continue using yt-dlp/youtube-dl for that. Both actually use ffmpeg to merge the downloaded audio and video streams into a single file.
