Description
I've been trying to use yt-dlp's SponsorBlock functionality with MPV, but apparently MPV only uses yt-dlp to extract video URL.
I am aware of lua scripts for MPV that will function the same for SponsorBlock, but only yt-dlp's SponsorBlock has the latest functionality like skipping highlight and new categories that no other lua script does.

Research direction
The issue identifies MPV's yt-dlp extraction path and links to the SponsorBlock options and related discussion, but names no source files or tests. Start by tracing how MPV invokes yt-dlp and reviewing the linked SponsorBlock behavior. Done would require an agreed implementation scope and verification that the requested SponsorBlock functionality works through MPV.
