Description

Sometimes support for yt-dlp breaks, and having a test for it would let us know when that happens

It should be an E2E Playwright test that uses the web player to play a YouTube video from a channel

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's existing CI configuration and E2E Playwright tests, then locate the web player entry point used for YouTube playback. Add coverage that plays a video from a channel and confirms the yt-dlp integration works in CI; done means the test runs successfully and detects future playback regressions.
