Method DownloadMediaStreamAsync error with UWP .Net Core

See original GitHub issue

Everything works great except whenever I type this code I’m given an error saying that the class YoutubeClient does not contain an definition “DownloadMediaStreamAsync”. I tried earlier releases and found that the same thing happened and to more methods like “GetVideoAsync”.

await client.DownloadMediaStreamAsync(streamInfo, outputFilePath);

I’m using the latest version of .Net Core.

Maybe it doesn’t support the full feature set of .net core. In that case you can still use GetMediaStreamAsync and save the stream manually.

Also, I’m not sure what “.net core UWP” actually is because I was under the impression UWP is a separate platform, which can reference .net standard assemblies. Judging from this table, UWP v10 will target YoutubeExplode .net standard 1.1 version which doesn’t have the Download... methods. Apparently, if you somehow upgrade it to v10.0.16299, it should use the .net standard 2.0 version.
