Hi,

Can you replace "œ" by "oe" in restrict-filename mode :

$ youtube-dl --version
2016.05.10
$ youtube-dl -f 18 -e IYGUF2d5Azc
Connaitre le cœur du père pour gérer la famille (Shora KUETU - 03/03/2015)

The command line youtube-dl -f 18 --get-filename --restrict-filename IYGUF2d5Azc would return :

Connaitre_le_coeur_du_pere_pour_gerer_la_famille_Shora_KUETU_-_03_03_2015__18__IYGUF2d5Azc.mp4

instead of :

Connaitre_le_c_ur_du_pere_pour_gerer_la_famille_Shora_KUETU_-_03_03_2015__18__IYGUF2d5Azc.mp4

This is current mapping:

ACCENT_CHARS = dict(zip('ÂÃÄÀÁÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝÞßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýþÿ',
                        itertools.chain('AAAAAA', ['AE'], 'CEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOOUUUUYP', ['ss'],
                                        'aaaaaa', ['ae'], 'ceeeeiiiionoooooouuuuypy')))

Is there anything missing besides œ? I hope to include all possible characters this time.

Let me check on my keyboard layout (which is French Alternative) ...

[sebma]

Ok, it seems fine but you can also add it's capital counterpart : Œ

[remitamine]

I hope to include all possible characters this time.

there are a lot of Accented Characters most of them are not widely used.
you can find a lot of them in:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters

[yan12125]

This table does not list replacements for all characters, in which native speakers' help is necessary.

[yan12125]

Thanks @sebma for the information. The fix will be included in the next version.

[sebma]

Thank you for you reactivity.

[remitamine]

looks like there are lots of libraries specialized in the transformation of strings, some of them extend the rules for other languages and even for symbols.
examples:
https://github.com/cocur/slugify/blob/master/src/RuleProvider/DefaultRuleProvider.php
https://github.com/dodo/node-slug/blob/master/slug.js

Seems great, but both use MIT license.
