+.SS Should I add \f[C]\-\-hls\-prefer\-native\f[] into my config?
+.PP
+When youtube\-dl detects an HLS video, it can download it either with
+the built\-in downloader or ffmpeg.
+Since many HLS streams are slightly invalid and ffmpeg/youtube\-dl each
+handle some invalid cases better than the other, there is an option to
+switch the downloader if needed.
+.PP
+When youtube\-dl knows that one particular downloader works better for a
+given website, that downloader will be picked.
+Otherwise, youtube\-dl will pick the best downloader for general
+compatibility, which at the moment happens to be ffmpeg.
+This choice may change in future versions of youtube\-dl, with
+improvements of the built\-in downloader and/or ffmpeg.
+.PP
+In particular, the generic extractor (used when your website is not in
+the list of supported sites by
+youtube\-dl (http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html) cannot
+mandate one specific downloader.
+.PP
+If you put either \f[C]\-\-hls\-prefer\-native\f[] or
+\f[C]\-\-hls\-prefer\-ffmpeg\f[] into your configuration, a different
+subset of videos will fail to download correctly.
+Instead, it is much better to file an issue (https://yt-dl.org/bug) or a
+pull request which details why the native or the ffmpeg HLS downloader
+is a better choice for your use case.
