youtube-dl can handle them ok when appending them like this:

youtube-dl 'https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rgSr1NkFV-g&itct=CDUQpDAYAiITCKSdka7EltcCFbEafgodhcgEXjILYzQtdmlkZW9zLXVaGFVDLWxISlpSM0dxeG0yNF9WZF9BSjVZdw%3D%3D&client=mv-google&hl=en&gl=EN' 'https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TS3dxL0E1kc&itct=CBAQpDAYACITCIe_rrXEltcCFQxtfgodNQINmDIGcmVsbWZ1SOivlcjN-qqCrgE%3D&hl=en&client=mv-google&gl=EN'

but cannot handle links_file where links_file contains both links seperated by a newline

where youtube-dl is run in the directory where the links_file currently is with

youtube-dl -a links_file
ERROR: batch file could not be read

Most likely you misspell the filename.
