YouTube DL integration

You can add overrides to the youtube-dl option in the config.ini section [Youtube-dl_opts]
If you set merge_output_format = mp4 there's currently a workaround for incompatible merges which will tackle it as follows:
- Attempt to encode the audio to AAC (pretty much the only audio codec an MPEG4 supports).
- Attempt to encode video to h264 (Necessary in cases where video is VP9 or other non-h264)
- Worst case scenario: Encode both audio and video to above formats (will take a very long time and consume all your CPU)
There's a planned workaround that makes youtube-dl pick _lossier _MPEG4 (or MPEG4-compatible) sources, but for the time being this is the best you'll get. If we didn't have this workaround youtube-dl would just be left to crash, leaving you with un-merged formats and a 0-byte .mp4 file.

postprocessor.
progress_hooks: A list of functions that get called on download
progress, with a dictionary with the entries
* status: One of "downloading", "error", or "finished".
Check this first and ignore unknown values.
If status is one of "downloading", or "finished", the
following properties may also be present:
* filename: The final filename (always present)
* tmpfilename: The filename we're currently writing to
* downloaded_bytes: Bytes on disk
* total_bytes: Size of the whole file, None if unknown

Progress hooks are guaranteed to be called at least once
(with status "finished") if the download is successful.

of seconds to sleep) when used along with
max_sleep_interval.
max_sleep_interval:Upper bound of a range for randomized sleep before each
download (maximum possible number of seconds to sleep).
Must only be used along with sleep_interval.
Actual sleep time will be a random float from range
[sleep_interval; max_sleep_interval].
listformats: Print an overview of available video formats and exit.
list_thumbnails: Print a table of all thumbnails and exit.
match_filter: A function that gets called with the info_dict of
every video.
If it returns a message, the video is ignored.

geo_bypass: Bypass geographic restriction via faking X-Forwarded-For
HTTP header

explicit geographic restriction bypassing via faking
X-Forwarded-For HTTP header

The following options determine which downloader is picked:
external_downloader: Executable of the external downloader to call.
None or unset for standard (built-in) downloader.
hls_prefer_native: Use the native HLS downloader instead of ffmpeg/avconv
if True, otherwise use ffmpeg/avconv if False, otherwise
use downloader suggested by extractor if None.
The following parameters are not used by YoutubeDL itself, they are used by
the downloader (see youtube_dl/downloader/common.py):
nopart, updatetime, buffersize, ratelimit, min_filesize, max_filesize, test,
noresizebuffer, retries, continuedl, noprogress, consoletitle,
xattr_set_filesize, external_downloader_args, hls_use_mpegts,
http_chunk_size.
The following options are used by the post processors:
prefer_ffmpeg: If False, use avconv instead of ffmpeg if both are available,
otherwise prefer ffmpeg.
postprocessor_args: A list of additional command-line arguments for the
postprocessor.
The following options are used by the Youtube extractor:
youtube_include_dash_manifest: If True (default), DASH manifests and related
data will be downloaded and processed by extractor.
You can reduce network I/O by disabling it if you don't
care about DASH.
