Sorry, I think I am a proper niewbie as it goes.

Anyway, I had a problem with youtube-dl.conf user-config-file and wrongly discussed on a different issue #836 where @jaimeMF has guided me to a fairer solution. Now I am getting the following:

168% @ 22:37 [1996:72] (youtube-dl) -bash $ youtube-dl -v https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2YZ1_4IDkQ
[debug] System config: []
[debug] User config: ['--retries', '1024', '--auto-number', '--no-overwrites', '--continue', '--write-description', '--write-info-json', '--write-annotations', '--write-thumbnail', '--console-title', '-f', 'mp4', '--all-subs', '-k', '--no-post-overwrites', '--embed-thumbnail', '--add-metadata', '-o', '~/Videos/youtube-dl/%(extractor)s/%(uploader)s/%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s']
[debug] Command-line args: ['-v', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2YZ1_4IDkQ']
Usage: youtube-dl [options] url [url...]

youtube-dl: error: using output template conflicts with using title, video ID or auto number

What does it say about the problem i am in?

PS
I know it's up there somewhere. Bute here is the ~/.config/youtube-dl.conf file-contents:

--retries 1024
--auto-number
--no-overwrites
--continue
--write-description
--write-info-json
--write-annotations
--write-thumbnail
--console-title
-f mp4
--all-subs
-k
--no-post-overwrites
--embed-thumbnail
--add-metadata
-o ~/Videos/youtube-dl/%(extractor)s/%(uploader)s/%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s

Hope this helps finding my solution.

You are using --auto-number option but you use a custom output template, instead you can include %(autonumber)s in the template.
