This allows inserting arbitrary extra arguments into the youtube-dl command-line within each podcast feed entry. This allows, for example, requesting that youtube-dl embed subtitles and captions into the video file, or configuring additional postprocessor arguments. No effort has been made to make sure no incompatible arguments are provided, with the expectation that the end-user will understand what's possible, and that this is an option expressly for advanced users. This would fix mxpv#162,and theoretically also mxpv#136!

Any chance of getting this in a release? I’d love to pop it into my Docker setup! |

I’ve confirmed that the mp4 output from youtube-dl with the included example settings does indeed embed captions of whatever sort is available, and that the resultant video subtitles, of both sorts, then work in Apple Podcasts.
