The playlist feature is actually one that typically annoys me. So I've just re-read the manpage and found the --no-playlist argument.

Sorry! The problem is that our userbase is split about wanting the playlist or the video. You can create a file ~/.config/youtube-dl.conf with the content --no-playlist so that you don't have to type it out every time.
Right. My point was that the mention prompted to me to read TFM and find the fix.

I've just done the config file setting you mentioned.
