I´ll have a close look at the code during the next days, then I´ll file an 
issue or send a patch.

My subsubtitle is a youtube address:

 title = "This will be ignored"
 subtitle = "This also will be ignored"
 subsubtitle = "Quelle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q2r3s4t5u6";

First of all, title and subtitle are ignored, the subsubtitle string is used.
Probably the issue 49 problem.

Worse: The string is not taken literally but interpreted, so the "=" has its
special meaning, and only the last part of subsubtitle string (q2r3...) is
used as title.
