- Removed the ``-u`` shortcut for ``--plugins``. This is a response to someone
spreading the misinformation that ``-url`` is a sane parameter to use.
It's technically valid, but due to the ``-u`` shortcut it would be
interpreted by Python's argparse as ``--plugins --rtmpdump l`` which
would cause livestreamer to look for a non-existing rtmpdump executable,
thus disabling any RTMP streams. (193)
