I just installed ffmpeg

I'm using the Windows executable and this is the error i'm getting:

I also found this website http://www.alltubedownload.net which seems to be based on youtube-dl

I tried to put my culturebox video link, and it grabbed me 4 m3u8 links, i don't know what to do with them. :/

Have same error again on another videos. Updated to latest version. all fine with --restrict-filenames option. May i suggest rename output file only after muxing is complete and use temporary names while ffmpeg working with files?

This will be fixed in the next version. Thanks for the report.
