Vividl fails to download videos possibly because the filenames are invalid in Windows #116

Some videos fail to download because there is a "|" or a "?" in the filename, or other characters, which cannot be saved into the filename in Windows. Could you please look at possible auto-renaming so the resulting saved file has a valid name in Windows?

i had the same problem and fixed it by going into options>>download and checked "Restrict Filename to ASCII character" option after that no more problems with download or the program crashing

@dtoxic47 I have that turned on too. That doesn't solve the problem of the | character or ? character or other characters that on Windows can't make a filename. Nice to hear from you and thanks for the response.
