A YoutubeDL wrapper, built to diagnose and tweak interactions between Sinusbot and YTDL.
TL;DR something to fix Soundcloud, given it's prone to breaking quite often.

Thanks for the script, it works as far as making it possible to play certain problematic tracks but I believe there's a problem in the logging because instead of creating the specified log-file it just creates a file named LOG_PATH in /opt/sinusbot ^^

Corrected. Thank you.
