is awesome!
Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04
SinusBot Version: 0.9.16
TS3 Version: 3.0.19.4

Problem Description
When you use ytdl to download tracks from YouTube, it uses the video title as the title in Sinusbot and the uploader as the artist. This is pretty useless when you use a plugin to use the track information as the Musicbot nickname.

Now I have two ideas:
1.) Ignore the uploader information and instead try to search for strings like " - " in the video title to seperate the artist from the title and use these values.
2.) Use the uploader-method for the track.type so you can differentiate between uploads with good ID3 tags and YouTube downloads. This works for !yt requests as they have the type temp, but normal uploads and ytdls have no type.

the "Now Playing" script works a little bit around by only regarding the title of the file as "artist - title" and similar formats. it obviously doesn't fix the base issue that youtube-dl should try to apply common format masks to the video title and try to parse good artist and title info that way.
