If you just want to watch a video, there are plenty of free software out
there for downloading videos like youtube-dl
<https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl> and you-get
<https://github.com/soimort/you-get>.

In particular, you-get supports a lot of Chinese video-sharing sites
like bilibili and acfun.

If you want, I can send a patch to add you-get to guix.
