OPTIONS: -a, --additional-args ...
Extra args to pass to youtube-dl.

        Current arguments are: --write-info-json --hls-use-mpegts --no-part --netrc
-c, --client-id <client-id>                    
        Twitch client id

    --delay-max <delay-max>                    
        Maximum milliseconds to wait before polling again [default: 3000]

    --delay-min <delay-min>

        - %(title)s: for a live stream, looks like 'ashkankiani 2019-09-06 14_19'

        I personally use "%(uploader)s/%(title)s-%(description)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s" [default: %(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s]
-x, --script <script>
