What operating system do you use?

Windows 8.1

List of actions to perform to reproduce the problem:

Download anything using a YouTube URL

What is the expected behaviour ?

To properly title the downloaded file with the title on YouTube

What happens instead ?

The title is renamed to just "_"

Whenever I download from YouTube, it's incorrectly titled. Instead of it being the same title from YouTube, it's replaced with an underscore. It used to delete every file but one because they'd have the same title, but I have since gone into the options and enabled the ID to be apart of the filename and that works. I haven't tried downloading from anything but YouTube. I've tried reinstalling and restarting, neither works. The problem started one day with me doing absolutely nothing, I never went into the settings or anything at all. In the settings, it is still set to title the file with the actual title, but it just doesn't.

Exact same problem here.

Never mind. I had to update the app, now everything works again. (for some reason I couldn't issue an update since a couple of weeks, the servers weren't responding.)

That fixed it. Honestly didn't even know it was there
