[yt-dlp or compatible] What are your favorite/best configuration tweaks? (piefed.zip)

Naked self-interest disclaimer: I want the best config for the --output option, one that sorts downloads into folders, respects playlist order etc., and never ever displays the string NA, no matter which extractor is used (I mostly use youtube and bandcamp).

edit: here's my own:

-S res:720  
--embed-metadata  
--embed-thumbnail  

# maybe that'll speed things up  
--concurrent-fragments 3  
--buffer-size 16k  
#  

--output "%(channel,playlist_channel,uploader,creator)s/%(playlist)s/%(playlist_index,playlist_autonumber,video_autonumber,autonumber)03d %(display_id,title,id)s (%(duration_string|_)s).%(ext)s"  

--sleep-subtitles 1  
--sub-langs "en.*,de.*,fi.*"  
--embed-subs

Any suggestions on improving --output...

Used in converting videos to podcast episodes using dir2cast:

--force-ipv6 #use with net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 2
--ffmpeg-location "~/src/FFmpeg" #selfcompiled ffmpeg with he-aac support
#convert to he-aac (v1, for music bed compatibility) and filter mic noise:
--exec "~/src/FFmpeg/ffmpeg -y -i %(filepath)q -af afftdn=nf=-25,highpass=f=100 -c:a libfdk_aac -profile:a aac_he -b:a 64k -ar 44100 -c:v copy -disposition:v attached_pic -map_metadata 0 -map_chapters 0 %(filepath)q.filtered.m4a && mv %(filepath)q.filtered.m4a %(filepath)q" 
--js-runtimes quickjs #for solving challenges
--remote-components ejs:github #for updates on how to solve the challenges
--extract-audio 
--audio-format m4a #best compatibility with dir2cast & overcast
--embed-thumbnail
--embed-metadata
--embed-chapters
--no-progress #this thing runs as a systemd timer service, prevent logspam
--paths /tmp/ytdlp #no unnecessary writes to storage
--sponsorblock-remove default #remove in-video ads
#only download the newest video from a channel at most 1 month old:
--break-on-existing
--break-on-reject
--dateafter now-1month
--download-archive ~/var/downloaded.ytdlp

Nice. It's basically a podcast app now.

FWIW

remote-components ejs:github is the default anyhow (unless you obtain your ty-dlp in weird ways)
embed-chapters is already contained in embed-metadata
