Best I can tell from looking the src, Cryptodome & Crypto are the folders for the python cryptography libraries pyCryptodome & pyCrypt There are some references to those libraries in the src code, but I don't think I see any use of the libraries. I'm guessing means there's some use within one of the dependencies that I don't have installed yet. I'll review them once I get it going, hopefully the usage of those libraries will be above board. I think they probably will be. Oh, and there is one cryptocurrency reference in the src, BUT it's only from the author's funding yml |

I mean, I'm no expert, but I don't think a crypto-scammer/stealer would name their folders as Crypto and Cryptodome. Given that there is an easily searchable Cryptodome project (https://pycryptodome.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/introduction.html), the better question would be why is cryptographic stuff (sha256, MD5 and all the code inside these 2 folders) needed for this project. |

Cryptodome & Crypto directories belong to pycryptodome. Both yt-dlp and Streamlink that I use in GridPlayer depend on this library. |
