Youtube RSS feeds supply links in this format:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYxr6s6T8HU&feature=youtube_gdata

Youtube-DL is able to download the content but gives an error at the end which is tripping up my script. Error is:
" 'feature' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

I'm using Windows version (2014.05.19). Using command:

youtube-dl -o %(title)s.%(ext)s --format bestaudio --no-mtime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYxr6s6T8HU&feature=youtube_gdata

Can Youtube-DL be updated to parse these links correctly and not give the error?

Thanks.

You have to escape & in URL or simply put URL in quotes as follows:
youtube-dl -o %(title)s.%(ext)s --format bestaudio --no-mtime "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYxr6s6T8HU&feature=youtube_gdata"
