* **New MSOs**: Philo, Spectrum, SlingTV, Cablevision, RCN
* Unlike youtube-dlc, yt-dlp does not allow merging multiple audio/video streams into one file by default (since this conflicts with the use of `-f bv*+ba`). If needed, this feature must be enabled using `--audio-multistreams` and `--video-multistreams`. You can also use `--compat-options multistreams` to enable both
* `--ignore-errors` is enabled by default. Use `--abort-on-error` or `--compat-options abort-on-error` to abort on errors instead
* When writing metadata files such as thumbnails, description or infojson, the same information (if available) is also written for playlists. Use `--no-write-playlist-metafiles` or `--compat-options no-playlist-metafiles` to not write these files
-* `--add-metadata` attaches the `infojson` to `mkv` files in addition to writing the metadata when used with `--write-infojson`. Use `--compat-options no-attach-info-json` to revert this
+* `--add-metadata` attaches the `infojson` to `mkv` files in addition to writing the metadata when used with `--write-info-json`. Use `--no-embed-info-json` or `--compat-options no-attach-info-json` to revert this
* Some metadata are embedded into different fields when using `--add-metadata` as compared to youtube-dl. Most notably, `comment` field contains the `webpage_url` and `synopsis` contains the `description`. You can [use `--parse-metadata`](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#modifying-metadata) to modify this to your liking or use `--compat-options embed-metadata` to revert this
* `playlist_index` behaves differently when used with options like `--playlist-reverse` and `--playlist-items`. See [#302](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/302) for details. You can use `--compat-options playlist-index` if you want to keep the earlier behavior
* The output of `-F` is listed in a new format. Use `--compat-options list-formats` to revert this
If you want to be on the cutting edge, you can also install the master branch with:
```
-python3 -m pip3 install --force-reinstall https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/archive/master.zip
+python3 -m pip install --force-reinstall https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/archive/master.zip
```
Note that on some systems, you may need to use `py` or `python` instead of `python3`
--audio-format FORMAT Specify audio format to convert the audio

--audio-quality QUALITY Specify ffmpeg audio quality, insert a
value between 0 (best) and 10 (worst) for
VBR or a specific bitrate like 128K
--no-embed-subs Do not embed subtitles (default)
--embed-thumbnail Embed thumbnail in the video as cover art
--no-embed-thumbnail Do not embed thumbnail (default)
- --embed-metadata Embed metadata to the video file. Also adds
- chapters to file unless --no-add-chapters
- is used (Alias: --add-metadata)
+ --embed-metadata Embed metadata to the video file. Also
+ embeds chapters/infojson if present unless
+ --no-embed-chapters/--no-embed-info-json
+ are used (Alias: --add-metadata)
--no-embed-metadata Do not add metadata to file (default)
(Alias: --no-add-metadata)
--embed-chapters Add chapter markers to the video file
(Alias: --add-chapters)
--no-embed-chapters Do not add chapter markers (default)
(Alias: --no-add-chapters)
+ --embed-info-json Embed the infojson as an attachment to
+ mkv/mka video files
+ --no-embed-info-json Do not embed the infojson as an attachment
+ to the video file
