        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.
