Your version of youtube-dl is almost 2 years out of date. Update to the latest version and try running the command again.

Also, the --max-quality parameter is no longer necessary, as youtube-dl does this automatically.

Oh, almost forgot, -t/--title is also the default now, and is marked as deprecated.
