WRITE QUESTION HERE
I am running a script and need the title of the video to remain the same as the path to the downloaded video in order to find and open it via my AppleScript.

I am writing errors and output to a text file called vidstatus and referencing those lines to give feedback to AppleScript on the progress of the youtube-dl request.

When I run this in AppleScript a comma is removed from the title in the tmp file.

do shell script "cd /tmp/; /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl --newline --ffmpeg-location /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg " & currentURL & " > /tmp/vidstatus 2>&1 & echo $!"

I get a report like this:

[youtube] wvYJ_j92bjU: Downloading webpage
[youtube] wvYJ_j92bjU: Downloading video info webpage
[download] /Volumes/Godzilla/Video/YouTube Video/Nathan Adrian vs Caeleb Dressel _ Mens 100m Free B Final _ 2020 TYR Pro Swim Series - Des Moines-wvYJ_j92bjU.mp4 has already been downloaded and merged

In this instance the issue is in the word Mens. The comma has been removed when writing the output to the file. I am not sure what process or arguments cause this. Maybe it's a file encoding issue?

This line in my configuration file:

-o '/Volumes/Godzilla/Video/YouTube Video/%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s'

When the file has completed downloading the path looks like this:

/Volumes/Godzilla/Video/YouTube Video/Nathan Adrian vs Caeleb Dressel _ Men’s 100m Free B Final _ 2020 TYR Pro Swim Series - Des Moines-wvYJ_j92bjU.mp4

The difference between Men's and Mens is a stumbling block for my AppleScript. Is there a way around this issue?

When running youtube-dl in terminal the comma is not removed from my errors and output file.

Post the full verbose output.

[jprokos]

The full verbose output is unnecessary. The file downloads properly. This is the second time you close a request for help. It's not a bug with youtube-dl.

Then help is unnecessary either. I'm not a telepathist to guess the versions and context and I can't help someone who refuses me to do so.
Also if it's not a bug in youtube-dl why you even report it here?
