-o option is broken

[redsteakraw]

All options passed to -o from a simple "%(title)s.%(ext)s" to - for standard out all return the

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

Error

version:

2016.04.19

system x86-64 Linux - Bash shell

As clearly stated in error message -t, --id and -A can't be used with -o.

[redsteakraw]

@dstftw litterally anything passed to -o even all the examples in the documentation even the wiki don't work

-o '%(uploader)s/ %(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s'

There is no example on the internet or in any documentation that does work if you have a simple one to try let me know. but even without %(title)s it still returns an error if I pass it -o "foo.bar" it still gives the same error. -o is broken for at least my version. I don't use -t --id or -A when I use -o

Post --verbose output.
