Support for other sites (Twitch, Nebula, etc)

Issue Statement

Pinchflat currently does not officially support any site other than YouTube and that isn't likely to change any time soon. That said, yt-dlp supports many sites and there's a fair chance Pinchflat would work with those sites - especially the most popular ones.

This closed issue will stand as a repository of known issues and workarounds for downloading media from other sites. It's almost certain that Pinchflat won't work 100% as expected with non-YouTube sites BUT if there's an issue that's an easy change and would also be applicable to YouTube, it may get fixed. Just remember that the focus is YouTube first and foremost and it's more like a happy accident if Pinchflat works with other sites.

Known Limitations

• Fast indexing only works with YouTube - make sure you disable it for any non-YouTube sources
• Some exclusively audio sources don't download

Workarounds

• As a happy side effect of [Housekeeping] Improved robustness of metadata parsing #225, iheartradio podcasts appear to work!
  • The {{ artist_name }} template option doesn't seem to work so you should use {{ source_custom_name }} or similar
