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.

I don't think yt-dlp has built-in image cropping, so it's just going to download thumbnails in the resolutions provided by the server. (See the --list-thumbnails option.) To crop what you download, consider a tool like ImageMagick.
