I could officially review this one, I use yle-dl myself. Salman has already done great work with the review!
Great!
Otto, what kind of functionality gets disabled if the user uses ffmpeg-free?
The only missing features in ffmpeg-free are patented codecs, except for H.264, which is supported through Cisco's H.264 as is also done elsewhere in Fedora, in Firefox etc. If Yle encodes some content using other patented codecs, it may be that it cannot be downloaded. I checked encoding of some files I downloaded from Yle Areena, everything I checked was H.264. So to my understanding, everything will work even with ffmpeg-free. But, I only tested downloading a couple of videos from Yle Areena, so testing has not been thorough.
