A frequent source of IINA issues is due to trouble accessing streaming sites, especially YouTube. One of the first steps in investigating such problems is to determine if the latest version of yt-dlp is being used. But currently, given an IINA log file, it is not possible to determine the version of yt-dlp being used or whether the yt-dlp binary is being managed by the plugin or not.
If logging is enabled the plugin should log the yt-dlp version and indicate if the plugin is managing the binary or not. Ideally this would be logged once when the plugin is loaded at IINA startup as that is near the start of the log file where versions of other components are loaded.
