We had some trouble when the Youtube API was disabled for non-registered users. We were using it for some shared & local web-playlist, which is based on youtube-dl/mpv. Sadly we couldn't use DDG because their API won't let you filter for video results only (Source: Asked on IRC, got a reply from DDG staff + haven't found any documentation mention this either). We ended up using searx [0] which takes little more time for search results (about 1-3 seconds) but we gain more video-sources (such as vimeo or dailymotion). I'm aware that youtube-dl got a search functionality build in as well, but the requirement that the client needs to get results without being prepared by our embedded computer wouldn't fit.
