Hello,
If i run the command: youtube-dl -lINAdS73SI -g -i --socket-timeout 3
i get:
Usage: youtube-dl [options] url [url...]
youtube-dl: error: no such option: -I

if i use the full youtube URL it works, this is because the id starts with -I

You can use youtube-dl -g -i --socket-timeout 3 -- -lINAdS73SI.
