Other optional dependancies are `sponskrub`, `AtomicParsley`, `mutagen`, `pycryptodome` and any of the supported external downloaders. Note that the windows releases are already built with the python interpreter, mutagen and pycryptodome included.

+# MODIFYING METADATA
+
+The metadata obtained the the extractors can be modified by using `--parse-metadata FROM:TO`. The general syntax is to give the name of a field or a template (with similar syntax to [output template](#output-template)) to extract data from, and the format to interpret it as, separated by a colon `:`. Either a [python regular expression](https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#regular-expression-syntax) with named capture groups or a similar syntax to the [output template](#output-template) (only `%(field)s` formatting is supported) can be used for `TO`. The option can be used multiple times to parse and modify various fields.
+
+Note that any field created by this can be used in the [output template](#output-template) and will also affect the media file's metadata added when using `--add-metadata`.
+
+You can also use this to change only the metadata that is embedded in the media file. To do this, set the value of the corresponding field with a `meta_` prefix. For example, any value you set to `meta_description` field will be added to the `description` field in the file. You can use this to set a different "description" and "synopsis", for example.
+
+## Modifying metadata examples
+
+Note that on Windows you may need to use double quotes instead of single.
+
+```bash
+# Interpret the title as "Artist - Title"
+$ yt-dlp --parse-metadata 'title:%(artist)s - %(title)s'
+
+# Regex example
+$ yt-dlp --parse-metadata 'description:Artist - (?P<artist>.+)'
+
+# Set title as "Series name S01E05"
+$ yt-dlp --parse-metadata '%(series)s S%(season_number)02dE%(episode_number)02d:%(title)s'
+
+# Set "comment" field in video metadata using description instead of webpage_url
+$ yt-dlp --parse-metadata 'description:(?s)(?P<meta_comment>.+)' --add-metadata
