Unable to extract name

This is presumably because the names contains a sharp S (eszett):

Just letting you know of this issue :-)

Duplicate of #4275. The issue is not the ß, but the restricted nature of the video.

Nevertheless, thank you for the report! One hint: --max-quality 1080p does not do anything useful for YouTube videos. Who told you to add that option? While we may eventually add such a shortcut, --max-quality will always limit the video quality (i.e. you may get worse than what's available).

@phihag:

Aha! Thanks, I suspected it had to to with the sharp S...you're right, it must be because it is a restricted video. I didn't notice it, but it does say: « The following content has been identified by the YouTube community as being potentially offensive or graphic. Viewer discretion is advised. »

As for --max-quality 1080p...I must confess, I did not read the documentation. I do beg my pard :)

youtube-dl 2014.11.23 and newer should add support for controversy. I believe that fixes this issue. See our FAQ if you need help updating.
