Hello dearest coders! I've was little bit interested in stream downloading by YDL, but when I've tried it, I've seen that YDL offers "q" to quit recoring, and "?" to see help while recording is proceeding.
Nice one, but I don't see no answer on my keys press attempts. Can you tell me, please, what is this, and how to fix it ?

youtube-dl does not offer q to quit, it's the output of ffmpeg. To stop you should use Ctrl+C.
