Can I have some help regarding using yt-dlp.

How to select a specific duration of video to be downloaded like from 00 to 600 seconds in video of 8 hours.

When downloading songs from youtube with metadata and thumbnail I get thumbnails in rectangular shape instead of square. How to turn them square?

Asking it here cause, Discussion on repository is closed and it is FOSS software.

to my knowledge you can't get squares from yt-dlp. Strawberry Music Player has a feature to download and embed the cover from MusicBrainz, I usually use that (I have to correct the tags from yt-dlp most of the time anyways). I think Picard has that too, but I don't use that.
