Measurement ideas
Track completion rate from URL paste to successful download (or honest failure). Segment by device class to see whether performance tuning tips changes outcomes on phones vs desktops.
If you publish changelogs, reference guide #222 when you ship related fixes so internal search stays coherent.

YouTube applies loudness targets; ripping raw streams may sound quieter in a local player. Optional loudness normalization should be opt-in to avoid clipping.

Explaining HDR vs SDR exports
HDR-to-SDR tone mapping is subjective. If you flatten HDR sources, disclose that colors may shift on non-HDR displays.
Keep HDR passthrough only when your player test matrix supports it.
