+# PLUGINS
 
+Plugins are loaded from `<root-dir>/ytdlp_plugins/<type>/__init__.py`. Currently only `extractor` plugins are supported. Support for `downloader` and `postprocessor` plugins may be added in the future. See [ytdlp_plugins](ytdlp_plugins) for example.
 
-
+**Note**: `<root-dir>` is the directory of the binary (`<root-dir>/youtube-dlc`), or the root directory of the module if you are running directly from source-code ((`<root dir>/youtube_dlc/__main__.py`)
