When will youtube-dl support an .rc file? I could write a wrapper script but since the program has "matured" into an executable zip file and supporting .netrc why not proper support for a .rc? Makes no sense to pass the same options several times a day. Thanks.

youtube-dl has supported a user-wide configuration file for some time now; simply create a file ~/.config/youtube-dl.conf, and with content like

--extract-audio -t

It doesn't seem to be well-documented, but I'm unsure over where to include that information. Where have you looked?
