        Ask your question in an arbitrary form.
        Please make sure it's worded well enough to be understood, see [is-the-description-of-the-issue-itself-sufficient](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl#is-the-description-of-the-issue-itself-sufficient).
        Provide any additional information and as much context and examples as possible.
        If your question contains "isn't working" or "can you add", this is most likely the wrong template.
        If you are in doubt if this is the right template, use another template!
