Just for interest and any further discussion, as a new youtube-dl user
this is what's in my config file:
--cache-dir '~/.cache/youtube-dl'
--format mp4
--add-metadata
--xattrs
-o '%(title)s--%(uploader)s--%(width)dx%(height)d.%(ext)s'
Thoughts, comments, suggestions?

I was also wondering
if youtube-dl can transcode the video to 1920x1080
if it is not already in that resolution.
