+### Playlist details, author, UNIX filename sanitization

+Set the output filename to the following:
+- playlist name and author, if present
+- playlist number and count, if present (zero-padded, if needed)
+- video author, title and release date in YYYY-MM-DD format, falling back to *UNKNOWN_...* if missing
+- sanitises everything for valid UNIX filename
