 You can use `--ignore-config` if you want to disable all configuration files for a particular yt-dlp run. If `--ignore-config` is found inside any configuration file, no further configuration will be loaded.

 ### Authentication with `.netrc` file
 
-You may also want to configure automatic credentials storage for extractors that support authentication (by providing login and password with `--username` and `--password`) in order not to pass credentials as command line arguments on every yt-dlp execution and prevent tracking plain text passwords in the shell command history. You can achieve this using a [`.netrc` file](https://stackoverflow.com/tags/.netrc/info) on a per extractor basis. For that you will need to create a `.netrc` file in `--netrc-location` and restrict permissions to read/write by only you:

-touch $HOME/.netrc
-chmod a-rwx,u+rw $HOME/.netrc

+chmod a-rwx,u+rw ${HOME}/.netrc
 ```
 After that you can add credentials for an extractor in the following format, where *extractor* is the name of the extractor in lowercase:
 ```
 machine <extractor> login <username> password <password>
 ```
-For example:
+E.g.
 ```
 machine youtube login myaccount@gmail.com password my_youtube_password
 machine twitch login my_twitch_account_name password my_twitch_password
 ```
 To activate authentication with the `.netrc` file you should pass `--netrc` to yt-dlp or place it in the [configuration file](#configuration).
 
-The default location of the .netrc file is `$HOME` (`~`) in UNIX. On Windows, it is `%HOME%` if present, `%USERPROFILE%` (generally `C:\Users\<user name>`) or `%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%`

+### Notes about environment variables
+* Environment variables are normally specified as `${VARIABLE}`/`$VARIABLE` on UNIX and `%VARIABLE%` on Windows; but is always shown as `${VARIABLE}` in this documentation
+* yt-dlp also allow using UNIX-style variables on Windows for path-like options; e.g. `--output`, `--config-location`
+* If unset, `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}` defaults to `~/.config` and `${XDG_CACHE_HOME}` to `~/.cache`

-Additionally, you can set different output templates for the various metadata files separately from the general output template by specifying the type of file followed by the template separated by a colon `:`. The different file types supported are `subtitle`, `thumbnail`, `description`, `annotation` (deprecated), `infojson`, `link`, `pl_thumbnail`, `pl_description`, `pl_infojson`, `chapter`, `pl_video`. For example, `-o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" -o "thumbnail:%(title)s\%(title)s.%(ext)s"`  will put the thumbnails in a folder with the same name as the video. If any of the templates is empty, that type of file will not be written. Eg: `--write-thumbnail -o "thumbnail:"` will write thumbnails only for playlists and not for video.

+Note that the default has `vcodec:vp9.2`; i.e. `av1` is not preferred. Similarly, the default for hdr is `hdr:12`; i.e. dolby vision is not preferred. These choices are made since DV and AV1 formats are not yet fully compatible with most devices. This may be changed in the future as more devices become capable of smoothly playing back these formats.
 
 If your format selector is `worst`, the last item is selected after sorting. This means it will select the format that is worst in all respects. Most of the time, what you actually want is the video with the smallest filesize instead. So it is generally better to use `-f best -S +size,+br,+res,+fps`.

 The general syntax of `--parse-metadata FROM:TO` is to give the name of a field or an [output template](#output-template) to extract data from, and the format to interpret it as, separated by a colon `:`. Either a [python regular expression](https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#regular-expression-syntax) with named capture groups or a similar syntax to the [output template](#output-template) (only `%(field)s` formatting is supported) can be used for `TO`. The option can be used multiple times to parse and modify various fields.
 
-Note that any field created by this can be used in the [output template](#output-template) and will also affect the media file's metadata added when using `--add-metadata`.
+Note that any field created by this can be used in the [output template](#output-template) and will also affect the media file's metadata added when using `--embed-metadata`.
 
 This option also has a few special uses:
 
-* You can download an additional URL based on the metadata of the currently downloaded video. To do this, set the field `additional_urls` to the URL that you want to download. Eg: `--parse-metadata "description:(?P<additional_urls>https?://www\.vimeo\.com/\d+)` will download the first vimeo video found in the description

E.g. `--parse-metadata "description:(?P<additional_urls>https?://www\.vimeo\.com/\d+)` will download the first vimeo video found in the description
 
-* You can use this to change the metadata that is embedded in the media file. To do this, set the value of the corresponding field with a `meta_` prefix. For example, any value you set to `meta_description` field will be added to the `description` field in the file. For example, you can use this to set a different "description" and "synopsis". To modify the metadata of individual streams, use the `meta<n>_` prefix (Eg: `meta1_language`). Any value set to the `meta_` field will overwrite all default values.

 The following extractors use this feature:
 
 #### youtube
+* `lang`: Language code to prefer translated metadata of this language (case-sensitive). By default, the video primary language metadata is preferred, with a fallback to `en` translated. See [youtube.py](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/c26f9b991a0681fd3ea548d535919cec1fbbd430/yt_dlp/extractor/youtube.py#L381-L390) for list of supported content language codes
 * `skip`: One or more of `hls`, `dash` or `translated_subs` to skip extraction of the m3u8 manifests, dash manifests and [auto-translated subtitles](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/4090#issuecomment-1158102032) respectively
-* `player_client`: Clients to extract video data from. The main clients are `web`, `android` and `ios` with variants `_music`, `_embedded`, `_embedscreen`, `_creator` (Eg: `web_embedded`); and `mweb` and `tv_embedded` (agegate bypass) with no variants. By default, `android,web` is used, but `tv_embedded` and `creator` variants are added as required for age-gated videos. Similarly the music variants are added for `music.youtube.com` urls. You can use `all` to use all the clients, and `default` for the default clients.

You can use `all` to use all the clients, and `default` for the default clients.
 * `player_skip`: Skip some network requests that are generally needed for robust extraction. One or more of `configs` (skip client configs), `webpage` (skip initial webpage), `js` (skip js player). While these options can help reduce the number of requests needed or avoid some rate-limiting, they could cause some issues. See [#860](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/pull/860) for more details
-* `include_live_dash`: Include live dash formats even without `--live-from-start` (These formats don't download properly)
 * `comment_sort`: `top` or `new` (default) - choose comment sorting mode (on YouTube's side)
 * `max_comments`: Limit the amount of comments to gather. Comma-separated list of integers representing `max-comments,max-parents,max-replies,max-replies-per-thread`. Default is `all,all,all,all`
     * E.g. `all,all,1000,10` will get a maximum of 1000 replies total, with up to 10 replies per thread. `1000,all,100` will get a maximum of 1000 comments, with a maximum of 100 replies total
-* `innertube_host`: Innertube API host to use for all API requests 
-  * e.g. `studio.youtube.com`, `youtubei.googleapis.com`
-  * Note: Cookies exported from `www.youtube.com` will not work with hosts other than `*.youtube.com`
+* `include_incomplete_formats`: Extract formats that cannot be downloaded completely (live dash and post-live m3u8)
+* `innertube_host`: Innertube API host to use for all API requests; e.g. `studio.youtube.com`, `youtubei.googleapis.com`. Note that cookies exported from one subdomain will not work on others
 * `innertube_key`: Innertube API key to use for all API requests
 
 #### youtubetab (YouTube playlists, channels, feeds, etc.)
 * `skip`: One or more of `webpage` (skip initial webpage download), `authcheck` (allow the download of playlists requiring authentication when no initial webpage is downloaded. This may cause unwanted behavior, see [#1122](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/pull/1122) for more details)
-* `approximate_date`: Extract approximate `upload_date` in flat-playlist. This may cause date-based filters to be slightly off
+* `approximate_date`: Extract approximate `upload_date` and `timestamp` in flat-playlist. This may cause date-based filters to be slightly off

+    Each of the provided `paths` is tested and the first producing a valid result will be returned.
+    The next path will also be tested if the path branched but no results could be found.
+    Supported values for traversal are `Mapping`, `Sequence` and `re.Match`.
+    A value of None is treated as the absence of a value.
+
+    The paths will be wrapped in `variadic`, so that `'key'` is conveniently the same as `('key', )`.
+
+    The keys in the path can be one of:
+        - `None`:           Return the current object.
+        - `str`/`int`:      Return `obj[key]`. For `re.Match, return `obj.group(key)`.
+        - `slice`:          Branch out and return all values in `obj[key]`.
+        - `Ellipsis`:       Branch out and return a list of all values.
+        - `tuple`/`list`:   Branch out and return a list of all matching values.
+                            Read as: `[traverse_obj(obj, branch) for branch in branches]`.
+        - `function`:       Branch out and return values filtered by the function.
+                            Read as: `[value for key, value in obj if function(key, value)]`.
+                            For `Sequence`s, `key` is the index of the value.
+        - `dict`            Transform the current object and return a matching dict.
+                            Read as: `{key: traverse_obj(obj, path) for key, path in dct.items()}`.
+
+        `tuple`, `list`, and `dict` all support nested paths and branches.
+
+    @params paths           Paths which to traverse by.
+    @param default          Value to return if the paths do not match.
+    @param expected_type    If a `type`, only accept final values of this type.
+                            If any other callable, try to call the function on each result.
+    @param get_all          If `False`, return the first matching result, otherwise all matching ones.
+    @param casesense        If `False`, consider string dictionary keys as case insensitive.
+
+    The following are only meant to be used by YoutubeDL.prepare_outtmpl and are not part of the API
+
+    @param is_user_input    Whether the keys are generated from user input.
+                            If `True` strings get converted to `int`/`slice` if needed.
+    @param traverse_string  Whether to traverse into objects as strings.
+                            If `True`, any non-compatible object will first be
+                            converted into a string and then traversed into.
+
+
+    @returns                The result of the object traversal.
+                            If successful, `get_all=True`, and the path branches at least once,
+                            then a list of results is returned instead.
+                            A list is always returned if the last path branches and no `default` is given.
