add ability to add channel name to downloaded files #45

Open as-muncher opened 2 years ago

using vividl 0.6.0.0

I would like to have vividl automatically put the channel name at the beginning of downloads. If I am downloading a bunch and then watch them and then go back, I would have to search the video name on youtube or wherever. I like having the channel name at the beginning of the name. I suppose this also goes with being able to change the download name somewhere before it downloads, but having it automatically put the channel name helps.

For instance: Amy Tamy - Youtube - breastfeeding is fun.mkv

That way, I know right away the channel name if I want to find more of her videos. By the way, that's a made up name.

I used this custom arguments in different yt-dls\dlp apps but in this app it doesn't work. %(title).22s%(id)s@%(uploader)s.%(ext)s any suggestions?

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. While it's currently not possible to freely configure the download name in the app, I'll consider options for this in an upcoming version.

@tadaizm In principle, you can use any yt-dl/ yt-dlp command-line option with Vividl by going to Options -> Settings -> Advanced -> Custom Downloader Arguments and setting the option there. However, while the download might still work, this is most likely not working well with the app as it then does not know the file name after download anymore.
