MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ffmpeg-yt-dlp-bin [2]:

This package is not proper.

Source links to an ever-changing foreign binary tarball build of
ffmpeg, without hash checking. Like a VCS package but for pre-built
package.

As it is, it is not useful to have as a pacman package.

Pkgver is a dummy string and not the actual version of the build.

Users won't ever get notified about updates. Also the build is not
reproducible.

And also this is totally superfluous: Arch repo carries latest stable
ffmpeg, and there are VCS packages for ffmpeg on AUR.

There are also third-party Arch repos that build VCS packages from
AUR.
