* __OUTPUT_TEMPLATE__: The template for the filenames of the downloaded videos, formatted according to [this spec](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/README.md#output-template). Defaults to `%(title)s.%(ext)s`.
* __OUTPUT_TEMPLATE_CHAPTER__: The template for the filenames of the downloaded videos when split into chapters via postprocessors. Defaults to `%(title)s - %(section_number)s %(section_title)s.%(ext)s`.
* __OUTPUT_TEMPLATE_PLAYLIST__: The template for the filenames of the downloaded videos when downloaded as a playlist. Defaults to `%(playlist_title)s/%(title)s.%(ext)s`. When empty, then `OUTPUT_TEMPLATE` is used.
* __OUTPUT_TEMPLATE_CHANNEL__: The template for the filenames of the downloaded videos when downloaded as a channel. Defaults to `%(channel)s/%(title)s.%(ext)s`. When empty, then `OUTPUT_TEMPLATE` is used.
* __YTDL_OPTIONS__: Additional options to pass to yt-dlp in JSON format. [See available options here](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/yt_dlp/YoutubeDL.py#L222). They roughly correspond to command-line options, though some do not have exact equivalents here. For example, `--recode-video` has to be specified via `postprocessors`. Also note that dashes are replaced with underscores. You may find [this script](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/devscripts/cli_to_api.py) helpful for converting from command-line options to `YTDL_OPTIONS`.
* __YTDL_OPTIONS_FILE__: A path to a JSON file that will be loaded and used for populating `YTDL_OPTIONS` above. Please note that if both `YTDL_OPTIONS_FILE` and `YTDL_OPTIONS` are specified, the options in `YTDL_OPTIONS` take precedence. The file will be monitored for changes and reloaded automatically when changes are detected.
