* __YTDL_OPTIONS__: Additional options to pass to youtube-dl, in JSON format. [See available options here](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/yt_dlp/YoutubeDL.py#L183). They roughly correspond to command-line options, though some do not have exact equivalents here, for example `--recode-video` has to be specified via `postprocessors`. Also note that dashes are replaced with underscores.
* __YTDL_OPTIONS_FILE__: A path to a JSON file that will be loaded and used for populating `YTDL_OPTIONS` above. Please note that if both `YTDL_OPTIONS_FILE` and `YTDL_OPTIONS` are specified, the options in `YTDL_OPTIONS` take precedence.
* __ROBOTS_TXT__: A path to a `robots.txt` file mounted in the container
-* __DOWNLOAD_MODE__ :This flag controls how downloads are scheduled and executed. There are three possible values:
- * **sequential**: Downloads are processed one at a time. A new download won’t start until the previous one has finished. This mode is useful for conserving system resources or ensuring downloads occur in a strict order.
- * **concurrent**: Downloads are started immediately as they are added, with no built-in limit on how many run simultaneously. This mode may overwhelm your system if too many downloads start at once.
- * **limited**: Downloads are started concurrently but are capped by a concurrency limit. In this mode, a semaphore is used so that at most a fixed number of downloads run at any given time.
-* **MAX\_CONCURRENT\_DOWNLOADS**
- This flag is used only when **DOWNLOAD\_MODE** is set to **limited**. It specifies the maximum number of simultaneous downloads allowed. For example, if set to `3`, then at most three downloads will run concurrently, and any additional downloads will wait until one of the active downloads completes.
