It doesn't like that either.  The original is one line.  That said, I
read where you can put one option on each line and have multiple lines. 
The top line is what I already had so I tried the second one.  It gave
me this.


ERROR: 'ytdl-format=bestvideo[height<=?1280]+bestaudio/best' is not a
valid URL. Set --default-search "ytsearch" (or run  youtube-dl
"ytsearch:ytdl-format=bestvideo[height<=?1280]+bestaudio/best" ) to
search YouTube

It seems to see something as a URL instead of a option.  Thing is, when
I google, I find a lot of people using the exact same line.  I'm
beginning to wonder if Arve has a point.  Maybe something else changed
and that changed how youtube-dl works.  To test, I wanted to re-emerge
youtube-dl.  When I tried, I got this little bit of spit up on my
keyboard.
