When you play a video from youtube through yt-dlp inside mpv, and seek in front of what has already been cached, mpv will freeze for a while and then only resume music without any more video frames.

The origin of the bug seemingly has to do with codecs and remuxing, and it can be solved by forcing yt-dlp's format. This config file will let you force the yt-dlp format for only the urls matching youtube ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mpv/mpv.conf)
