Subject: Allow to initialize a YoutubeDL object without parameters
X-Git-Url: http://git.oshgnacknak.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a3927cf7eefd2318cdfb44cdb213b3810ea7627b;p=youtube-dl

Allow to initialize a YoutubeDL object without parameters

Having to pass the 'outtmpl' parameter feels really strange when you just want to extract the info of a video.
