[Feature] Add gif output

[Sleeping-Donut]

Describe the feature

Adding gif output type would be useful and is supported by yt-dlp using exec to pipe the output from yt-dlp to ffmpeg where it can be converted to a high quality gif.

Reason for adding

Currently another program would be required to convert the video from YTDLnis to a gif when this could be a seamless experience if included as an option within the download menu

The app doesn't support --exec. Since it doesnt have an actual terminal behind it but a layer that keeps yt-dlp running through termux packages. You could ask youtubedl-android developers for insight

[deniscerri]

@Sleeping-Donut is there an yt-dlp command example that can convert to gif?

[Sleeping-Donut]

Using exec:

yt-dlp --exec 'ffmpeg -y -i {} -vf "fps=12,scale=320:-1:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1]; [s0] palettegen [pal]; [s1] [pal] paletteuse" "$(basename {} .mp4).gif"' <video_URL>

But no idea how that'd be managed without the --exec

[deniscerri]

Due to how yt-dlp is embedded in the application, --exec is not possible as there isnt an actual shell inside the app. But yt-dlp supports --ppa arguments
like how the app currently uses it to crop the thumbnail to square.
If you manage to achieve it with ppa let me know
