+# CONFIGURATION
+
+You can configure youtube-dl by placing default arguments (such as `--extract-audio --no-mtime` to always extract the audio and not copy the mtime) into `/etc/youtube-dl.conf` and/or `~/.local/config/youtube-dl.conf`.
+
+# OUTPUT TEMPLATE
+
+The `-o` option allows users to indicate a template for the output file names. The basic usage is not to set any template arguments when downloading a single file, like in `youtube-dl -o funny_video.flv "http://some/video"`. However, it may contain special sequences that will be replaced when downloading each video. The special sequences have the format `%(NAME)s`. To clarify, that is a percent symbol followed by a name in parenthesis, followed by a lowercase S. Allowed names are:
+
+ - `id`: The sequence will be replaced by the video identifier.
+ - `url`: The sequence will be replaced by the video URL.
+ - `uploader`: The sequence will be replaced by the nickname of the person who uploaded the video.
+ - `upload_date`: The sequence will be replaced by the upload date in YYYYMMDD format.
+ - `title`: The sequence will be replaced by the video title.
+ - `ext`: The sequence will be replaced by the appropriate extension (like flv or mp4).
+ - `epoch`: The sequence will be replaced by the Unix epoch when creating the file.
+ - `autonumber`: The sequence will be replaced by a five-digit number that will be increased with each download, starting at zero.
+
+The current default template is `%(id)s.%(ext)s`, but that will be switchted to `%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s` (which can be requested with `-t` at the moment).
+
+In some cases, you don't want special characters such as 中, spaces, or &, such as when transferring the downloaded filename to a Windows system or the filename through an 8bit-unsafe channel. In these cases, add the `--restrict-filenames` flag to get a shorter title:
+
+    $ youtube-dl --get-filename -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" BaW_jenozKc
+    youtube-dl test video ''_ä↭𝕐.mp4    # All kinds of weird characters
+    $ youtube-dl --get-filename -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" BaW_jenozKc --restrict-filenames

 class FileDownloader(object):
-	"""File Downloader class.
-
-	File downloader objects are the ones responsible of downloading the
-	actual video file and writing it to disk if the user has requested
-	it, among some other tasks. In most cases there should be one per
-	program. As, given a video URL, the downloader doesn't know how to
-	extract all the needed information, task that InfoExtractors do, it
-	has to pass the URL to one of them.
-
-	For this, file downloader objects have a method that allows
-	InfoExtractors to be registered in a given order. When it is passed
-	a URL, the file downloader handles it to the first InfoExtractor it
-	finds that reports being able to handle it. The InfoExtractor extracts
-	all the information about the video or videos the URL refers to, and
-	asks the FileDownloader to process the video information, possibly
-	downloading the video.
-
-	File downloaders accept a lot of parameters. In order not to saturate
-	the object constructor with arguments, it receives a dictionary of
-	options instead. These options are available through the params
-	attribute for the InfoExtractors to use. The FileDownloader also
-	registers itself as the downloader in charge for the InfoExtractors
-	that are added to it, so this is a "mutual registration".
-
-	Available options:
-
-	username:         Username for authentication purposes.
-	password:         Password for authentication purposes.
-	usenetrc:         Use netrc for authentication instead.
-	quiet:            Do not print messages to stdout.
-	forceurl:         Force printing final URL.
-	forcetitle:       Force printing title.
-	forcethumbnail:   Force printing thumbnail URL.
-	forcedescription: Force printing description.
-	forcefilename:    Force printing final filename.
-	simulate:         Do not download the video files.
-	format:           Video format code.
-	format_limit:     Highest quality format to try.
-	outtmpl:          Template for output names.
-	ignoreerrors:     Do not stop on download errors.
-	ratelimit:        Download speed limit, in bytes/sec.
-	nooverwrites:     Prevent overwriting files.
-	retries:          Number of times to retry for HTTP error 5xx
-	continuedl:       Try to continue downloads if possible.
-	noprogress:       Do not print the progress bar.

+
+    File downloader objects are the ones responsible of downloading the
+    actual video file and writing it to disk if the user has requested
+    it, among some other tasks. In most cases there should be one per
+    program. As, given a video URL, the downloader doesn't know how to
+    extract all the needed information, task that InfoExtractors do, it
+    has to pass the URL to one of them.
+
+    For this, file downloader objects have a method that allows
+    InfoExtractors to be registered in a given order. When it is passed
+    a URL, the file downloader handles it to the first InfoExtractor it
+    finds that reports being able to handle it. The InfoExtractor extracts
+    all the information about the video or videos the URL refers to, and
+    asks the FileDownloader to process the video information, possibly
+    downloading the video.
+
+    File downloaders accept a lot of parameters. In order not to saturate
+    the object constructor with arguments, it receives a dictionary of
+    options instead. These options are available through the params
+    attribute for the InfoExtractors to use. The FileDownloader also
+    registers itself as the downloader in charge for the InfoExtractors
+    that are added to it, so this is a "mutual registration".
+
+    Available options:
+
+    username:          Username for authentication purposes.
+    password:          Password for authentication purposes.
+    usenetrc:          Use netrc for authentication instead.
+    quiet:             Do not print messages to stdout.
+    forceurl:          Force printing final URL.
+    forcetitle:        Force printing title.
+    forcethumbnail:    Force printing thumbnail URL.
+    forcedescription:  Force printing description.
+    forcefilename:     Force printing final filename.
+    simulate:          Do not download the video files.
+    format:            Video format code.
+    format_limit:      Highest quality format to try.
+    outtmpl:           Template for output names.
+    restrictfilenames: Do not allow "&" and spaces in file names
+    ignoreerrors:      Do not stop on download errors.
+    ratelimit:         Download speed limit, in bytes/sec.
+    nooverwrites:      Prevent overwriting files.
+    retries:           Number of times to retry for HTTP error 5xx
+    buffersize:        Size of download buffer in bytes.
+    noresizebuffer:    Do not automatically resize the download buffer.
+    continuedl:        Try to continue downloads if possible.
+    noprogress:        Do not print the progress bar.
+    playliststart:     Playlist item to start at.
+    playlistend:       Playlist item to end at.
+    matchtitle:        Download only matching titles.
+    rejecttitle:       Reject downloads for matching titles.
+    logtostderr:       Log messages to stderr instead of stdout.
+    consoletitle:      Display progress in console window's titlebar.
+    nopart:            Do not use temporary .part files.
+    updatetime:        Use the Last-modified header to set output file timestamps.
+    writedescription:  Write the video description to a .description file
+    writeinfojson:     Write the video description to a .info.json file
+    writesubtitles:    Write the video subtitles to a .srt file

 class InfoExtractor(object):
-	"""Information Extractor class.
-
-	Information extractors are the classes that, given a URL, extract
-	information from the video (or videos) the URL refers to. This
-	information includes the real video URL, the video title and simplified
-	title, author and others. The information is stored in a dictionary
-	which is then passed to the FileDownloader. The FileDownloader
-	processes this information possibly downloading the video to the file
-	system, among other possible outcomes. The dictionaries must include
-	the following fields:
-
-	id:		Video identifier.
-	url:		Final video URL.
-	uploader:	Nickname of the video uploader.
-	title:		Literal title.
-	ext:		Video filename extension.
-	format:		Video format.
-	player_url:	SWF Player URL (may be None).
-
-	The following fields are optional. Their primary purpose is to allow
-	youtube-dl to serve as the backend for a video search function, such
-	as the one in youtube2mp3.  They are only used when their respective
-	forced printing functions are called:
-
-	thumbnail:	Full URL to a video thumbnail image.
-	description:	One-line video description.
-

+    others. The information is stored in a dictionary which is then
+    passed to the FileDownloader. The FileDownloader processes this
+    information possibly downloading the video to the file system, among
+    other possible outcomes.
+
+    The dictionaries must include the following fields:

+    url:            Final video URL.
+    title:          Video title, unescaped.

+    uploader:       Full name of the video uploader.
+    upload_date:    Video upload date (YYYYMMDD).
+
+    The following fields are optional:
+
+    format:         The video format, defaults to ext (used for --get-format)
+    thumbnail:      Full URL to a video thumbnail image.
+    description:    One-line video description.
+    uploader_id:    Nickname or id of the video uploader.
+    player_url:     SWF Player URL (used for rtmpdump).
+    subtitles:      The .srt file contents.
+    urlhandle:      [internal] The urlHandle to be used to download the file,
