Duplicate of #3610, until it's fixed you can merge a mp4 dash video: youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu-YAMiS5wA' -f 133+bestaudio

For future reports, please post the full output when you run the command with the --verbose option.

I'd done this to report the "unable to extract categories" issue (not the stream merge), but it appears that's not a problem with this video on 2014.12.17.1 - whoops! Thanks for the attention, regardless. And that bug looks like a hassle! I'll dig a bit but I doubt I'll be able to submit a meaningfull patch before someone else does.

To be honest, when I first read the report I only noticed the unable to extract categories:) (which was fixed with 624dceb, some videos don't have any categories listed in their webpage).
If you write a fix, we'll happily review it.
