when the output filename would be too long it always fails with generic message "Failed! Recheck input for errors."

attempting the same web address with the terminal youtube-dl default option "youtube-dl " you get an error message and an abort about the output filename being too long. so all you need to do is shorten the output filename if it is too long. in terminal youtube-dl that would be for example "youtube-dl -o new_short_name.mp4" I was downloading a video from twitter, but has also happened to me elsewhere.

I bypass this issue (while keeping the original file name. important for me since I download a lot of audio with dates already included in the name) in the terminal youtube-dl by running "youtube-dl --get-filename" then taking that name cutting off after 30 characters and then youtube-dl -o in a launcher (might make a .bat file for windows use later).

Thank you for noting this. I never experienced the issues so I didn't know it existed. Can you please send me a url to replicate the issue so I can start finding a solution?

I am on linux using the aur if that matters.

Ok. I will look into it, thanks. I have recently finished porting over the build process from qmake to cmake. With that change, the "beta" packages in the aur will no longer compile. After resolving the issue, I will post about it over here and hopefully you will be able to install the beta package and tell if it works on your end.
