I’m new to yt-dlp. Care to share your flags? I’m a little confused on which ones I actually need.

I mean, you don't need anything; it'll work with no flags. I have these:

$ cat ~/.config/yt-dlp/config
--embed-subs
--embed-metadata
--embed-chapters
--embed-thumbnail
--sponsorblock-mark=all
$

That'll just embed some useful metadata in the file.

Note that subtitles doesn't include automatic subtitles. For that you have to do --write-auto-subs in conjunction

Thanks.

EDIT: There isn't an --embed-auto-subs, but there is a --write-auto-subs.

Fixed thanks.
