I made exactly this, including options like moving through the video with a scale, play/pause function, making playlist, shuffle function.
One thing to know is that youtube_dl has trouble with some videos, there is a fork called yt_dlp which works better. For my app, I changed pafy so that it uses yt_dlp instead of youtube_dl. I can share the whole code, it's a lot, but it's pretty good I think.
