minor documentation update on usage of YTDL_OPTIONS #295

Closed myTselection closed 12 months ago

Dear, Thanks for this metube! It's working very well! The documentation README on github and docker hub shows an example of the usage of YTDL_OPTIONS. Yet, in order to be able to use it correctly, a single quote needs to be added around the full option. It took me quite some time before realizing this. Might be useful if the readme would be updated to show a correct example. Btw , an example on the usage of the command line option --no-mtime that can be achieved using YTDL_OPTION {"updatetime": false} might also be usefull for others, to make sure the file timestamp is set to current now time and not to the youtube upload timestamp provided in youtube headers.

    environment:
      - 'YTDL_OPTIONS={"updatetime": false}'
