I tried downloading video : youtube-dl -_arPK51bUo

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_arPK51bUo
But it's showing an error

youtube-dl: error: no such option: -_

even ytsearch is not working with this

Although it is working with -url option. But still wanted to point this out.
Thanks for such a cool tool. :)

In virtually every modern shell application, a starting dash marks an option. Use -- to separate options and URLs:

youtube-dl -- -_arPK51bUo
