Haven't tried but see upstream issue, there's a WIP PR too
https://github.com/gpodder/gpodder/issues/1176
https://github.com/gpodder/gpodder/pull/1182

While the "youtube-dl" command from the yt-dlp ebuild is mostly
compatible, the python module can need small workarounds so opted
not to symlink the module in the ebuild.

That aside, been debating whether I should allow youtube-dl and yt-dlp
to be installed concurrently meanwhile (IUSE=youtube-dl on yt-dlp),
although at this point youtube-dl feels nearly unusable to me so
not sure if it's worth it :?
