Does running youtube-dl with the argument --restrict-filenames resolve the issue?

Yes. I wonder if it the default should be to use that when there are
filename related errors saving the file?

I use a workaround that limits the title to 80 characters in e1ec933. In the next version these videos should be downloaded correctly.

[tone87]

i have the same problem in last version(2019.04.07). for example on this video:
https://www.instagram.com/premoniticn/p/Bv1uMwin6BC/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=s46ivg10w9oz

with output:
%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s

I did use the --restrict-filenames to restrict to only the youtubeid to restrict the name to and then it downloads.

The issue is fixed in Instagram but not YouTube. Please move on to #5921 for further discussions.
