When using youtube-dl try to clean up the URL you use. For example, the following URL will work. Thanks for the video ^_~.
How did you install youtube-dl? If you installed it through apt, I would recommend the following:
sudo apt-get remove youtube-dl
sudo apt-get install $(apt-cache depends youtube-dl | grep Depends | sed "s/.*ends:\ //" | tr '\n' ' ')
sudo pip install youtube-dl
pip seems to have a more up-to-date version.
Some characters need to be escaped to prevent issues. You can single-quote your URL to help prevent these issues:
youtube-dl 'https://domain.tld/path/file.ext'Collected from the Internet
