default_search: Prepend this string if an input url is not valid.
'auto' for elaborate guessing
encoding: Use this encoding instead of the system-specified.
- extract_flat: Do not resolve URLs, return the immediate result.
- Pass in 'in_playlist' to only show this behavior for
- playlist items.
+ extract_flat: Whether to resolve and process url_results further
+ * False: Always process (default)
+ * True: Never process
+ * 'in_playlist': Do not process inside playlist/multi_video
+ * 'discard': Always process, but don't return the result

+ * 'discard_in_playlist': Same as "discard", but only for
+ playlists (not multi_video)
wait_for_video: If given, wait for scheduled streams to become available.
The value should be a tuple containing the range
(min_secs, max_secs) to wait between retries
