I found that HTTPS didn’t work so "cclive 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzPS8jJWZZU”; failed, but stripping the ’s’ and 
running "cclive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzPS8jJWZZU”; worked just fine 
for me.

I know it’s not the answer you are looking for, but would it be reasonable to 
add more to the error message so that it told the users to set LC_CTYPE=C? That 
would at least tell the user how to download the video they want (even if they 
have to use Google translate to read the error message).
