+* [metadatafromfield] Do not detect numbers as field names

+* Errors in playlist extraction should obey `--ignore-errors`
+* Fix bug where `original_url` was not propagated when `_type`=`url`
+* Revert "Merge webm formats into mkv if thumbnails are to be embedded (#173)"
+    * This was wrongly checking for `write_thumbnail`
+* Improve `extractor_args` parsing
