Hello, when we download dailymotion videos from for exemple https://www.dailymotion.com/tpmp/videos , the speed of download is limited to only 48kb/s when we use yt-dlp, but when we use yt-dlp with aria2c and yt-dlp ffpmpeg with ffmpeg as downloader, the download speed increase very much !

Small window

Hello, a user make this surprising review comment in videohelp site ! a lot of softwares has a small window, it's normal, but apparently some users can't see options and features in small windows, maybe it will be good to add option to maximize the size of main window, thank you !

"So tiny! I can hardly read anything on the main display. I can't figure out how to enlarge it. None of the normal methods seem to work. Believe it or not, the only option I've been able to read dealing with size is to Minimize. It's impossible to do anything on a program of that size."

Protected streaming

Hello, recently i discover this disucussion in videohelp forum about donwload enrypted streams, ant it said :
"No m3u8, but mpd.

Your stream is encrypted. You will need keys to decrypt.

yt-dlp --allow-u "mpd_url"

https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/407535-Zee5-video-download

Does MediaDonwloader include by default this command " --allow-u "mpd_url" to donwload encrypted streams please ? if not, how can we add by default this command "--allow-u" please ?
