Very strange. Perhaps it's some setup- or platform-dependent thing; I will file an issue. Thanks for checking! EDIT: Very strange; I thought I'd give a try

EDIT: Very strange; I thought I'd give a try to what seemed a throwaway comment in your post, about quoting the string, and that fixed it. Thanks!
Without the double quotes (which seemed to be unnecessary for you), I still get:
$ youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbKJt1NQtZE
Usage: youtube-dl [OPTIONS] URL [URL...]
youtube-dl: error: You must provide at least one URL.
Type youtube-dl --help to see a list of all options.
I guess that some alias is grabbing some part of the URL string.
- nathyong 11y agoIt's possible your shell has some kind of regular expression magic enabled that is eating the '?' and the '=' characters: $ echo youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch\?v\=wbKJt1NQtZE youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbKJt1NQtZE $ echo youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbKJt1NQtZE zsh: no matches found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbKJt1NQtZE
- JadeNB 11y agoInteresting! It seems that my `echo` is eating any substrings involving `?`. $ bash --version GNU bash, version 4.3.42(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0) Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
