New site - obscure?

[Zotter]

Attempting to download from a German site - maybe too obscure to consider - results as follows:

]$ youtube-dl -v http://www.3sat.de/mediathek/?mode=play&obj=40426

youtube-dl can download the full URL just fine, but never gets it in full, because your shell is interpreting the ampersand. (Note [1] 8389 and the abbreviated URL in the output of youtube-dl). Use quotes to prevent your shell from interpreting ampersands:

youtube-dl 'http://www.3sat.de/mediathek/?mode=play&obj=40426'
# or
youtube-dl "http://www.3sat.de/mediathek/?mode=play&obj=40426"

Thank you!
