I tried to download to separate streams and combine them using the -f bestaudio+bestvideo but it seams that the formats need to be in video+audio order. When I change the ordering it worked flawlessly.

I ran this:

$ youtube-dl ZJPVq71HCbg
[youtube] Confirming age
[youtube] ZJPVq71HCbg: Downloading webpage
[youtube] ZJPVq71HCbg: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] ZJPVq71HCbg: Extracting video information
[youtube] ZJPVq71HCbg: Downloading DASH manifest
[download] Destination: Etho MindCrack SMP - Episode 187 - Elusive Farmers.f141.m4a
[download] 100% of 38.10MiB in 00:04
[download] Destination: Etho MindCrack SMP - Episode 187 - Elusive Farmers.f136.mp4
[download] 100% of 303.78MiB in 00:22
[ffmpeg] Merging formats into "Etho MindCrack SMP - Episode 187 - Elusive Farmers.m4a"
ERROR: Stream map '0:v:0' matches no streams.

With the this config file:

# Youtube Download config file
# Basic output format "Title.mp4"
--output "%(title)s.%(ext)s"
# Prefer 60 fps videos, but need seperate audio stream. The + combines them.
--format 299+bestaudio/303+bestaudio/298+bestaudio/302+bestaudio/bestaudio+bestvideo/best
--add-metadata
--prefer-ffmpeg

That's intentional (see #3935 for reference), I have documented it. Thanks for the report.

For future reports, please post the output of youtube-dl --verbose URL, it makes debugging problems easier (for example we can quickly see if you are using an outdated version) and it also prints the options from the config file.

Ok, that makes a lot of sense, thanks for the link. But I was hoping it would warn you earlier before it started to download, that the options are wrong if it is possible. Otherwise I hope that the error message could be more descriptive then Stream map '0:v:0' matches no streams. which doesn't tell me much unless you know about the ffmpeg flags from #3935.

That's a good idea, I've added an error message that suggests changing the order. Thanks!
