Details

Description: Going through README.md of the source repo yields additional optional dependencies missing from the current PKGBUILD. The exact package names from Arch repositories are listed below with extracted short descriptions.

- python-brotli: Brotli content encoding support
- python-brotlicffi: Brotli content encoding support
- python-xattr: For writing xattr metadata
- python-pyxattr: For writing xattr metadata (alternative option)
- phantomjs: For extractors with javascript code
- python-secretstorage: For '--cookies-from-browser' to access the GNOME keyring while decrypting cookies of Chromium-based browsers

The README also clearly states that python-certifi is an *optional* dependency while it is currently designated as an explicit one. This probably needs a correction.

Additional info:
* package version: 2023.07.06-1

The issue is about 6 missing dependencies and 1 possibly wrongly declared explicit. While the solution completely solves the missing dependencies it contains zero information about explicit python-certifi dependency. Source repo declares it optional. Is there a reason for explicit relation (or it possibly needs a correction)?

FWIW, it seems to successfully download a basic YT url without certifi. Refer also related discussion in  FS#79254 .

certifi is a minimal wrapper over ca-certificates and may be required for some sites. I will leave it as a dependency.
