Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

youtube-dl fails to download this playlist. The the issue may have something to do with the file or folder name or length. If that is the case then shouldn't these filenames be sanitized to guarantee that they are created?

The download succeeds with the --restrict-filenames option. I am hoping that this crash can be avoided even without using that option.
