Hello and thanks for the project.

After a bit of tinkering, I found about the option "max_threads" which is mentioned in your README ( https://github.com/natumbri/mopidy-youtube?tab=readme-ov-file#troubleshooting and https://github.com/natumbri/mopidy-youtube?tab=readme-ov-file#configuration ).

However, this option doesn't seem to exist anymore.

It is present in the "master" branch, but not in the "develop" branch that is used to build current extension on PyPi.

As of current version, running Mopidy with this option will disable Mopidy-Youtube:

mopidy-1  | WARNING  2025-12-28 16:21:34,866 [10:MainThread] mopidy.__main__
mopidy-1  |   Found youtube configuration errors. The extension has been automatically disabled:
mopidy-1  | WARNING  2025-12-28 16:21:34,867 [10:MainThread] mopidy.__main__
mopidy-1  |     youtube/threads_max unknown config key.
mopidy-1  | WARNING  2025-12-28 16:21:34,867 [10:MainThread] mopidy.__main__
mopidy-1  |   Please fix the extension configuration errors or disable the extensions to silence these messages.

And the option isn't present in ext.conf anymore.

Is there an alternative option?
Is it handled automatically by yt-dlp?

In all cases, removing the option from the README would be advised.
