Hello.
I use youtube-dl only for Youtube.
Until now I've every time used the specific video ID or playlist ID to download something or gather information about it.
But now I am running into trouble because ID's can begin with the '-' character and then it is detected as command. I've tried to put it in apostrophes but this didn't helped.
I just want to ask: Is there an easy solution to tell youtube-dl that this is an ID or do I have to put the "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" / "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=" in front of the ID to make sure it works?
