niconico data format changes causing all youtube-dl niconico folk broken

Hi tsukumijima,

Have you noticed this. A recent change of niconico has broken almost all niconico downloaders including yours. The change is basically just a data schema changes, not a big issue, you can refer to this and this issues for more details

I am looking for your fix soon

Yes I know.
However, I haven't worked on youtube-dl recently. To be honest, I don't have the time and spare time to keep the youtube-dl fork up to date.
It is discussed at yt-dlp/yt-dlp#171, and I think that the corresponding version will be released after a while. The niconico related code I wrote is also merged into yt-dlp. So I'm not going to implement it for now.

Thanks for letting me know and I am happy to hear that code you wrote is merged into one of the mainstream folk of youtube-dl. And thanks for providing this fix as it has helped me successfully download 200+ Vocaloid PV from niconico since 2020. Thanks :)
