ERROR: fixed output name but more than one file to download

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

I’m using this with soundcloud and downloading a single mp3. I have --max-downloads set to 1 and -o /path/to/download/%(title)s.%(ext)s'. I keep getting the fixed output error, but it’s only one file. If I remove the -o all together, then it downloads the single file, but in the wrong directory. Am i missing something?

Thanks!

Ok this is fixed, the url had to be defined before the -o
