The problem starts like this:

I did a yt-audio alias in Linux:

alias yt-audio='youtube-dl --no-playlist --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 --embed-thumbnail -o "/media/something/Stuff/Windows/Downloads/youtube-dl/audio/random/%(title)s.%(ext)s" '

The this is that while I listen to a song and I observe that I like, I shoot the < yt-audio link > command. Now, there are times when the timestamp remain in the link, looking like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Yh1IJLvKPM&t=3626s

And, it seems this one disturb my command and stops at [debug] without download.

Message I get after it hit: yt-audio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Yh1IJLvKPM&t=3626s

something@something-HP-EliteBook-8540p:$ yt-audio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Yh1IJLvKPM&t=3626s
[3] 27186
something@something-HP-EliteBook-8540p:$ [debug] System config: []
[debug] User config: [u'-u', u'PRIVATE', u'-c', u'--newline', u'-v', u'--ignore-errors']
[debug] Custom config: []
[debug] Command-line args: [u'--no-playlist', u'--extract-audio', u'--audio-format', u'mp3', u'--audio-quality', u'0', u'--embed-thumbnail', u'-o', u'/media/something/Stuff/Windows/Downloads/youtube-dl/audio/random/%(title)s.%(ext)s', u'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Yh1IJLvKPM']

It would be cool to eliminate the last &t=3626s timestamp automatically. Without it, the command works perfectly:)
