Bug report

A couple of days ago I was streaming on twitch, and had to temporarily stop the broadcast halfway through the stream. I didn't change the stream title before restarting the broadcast, which means I have two VODs with the same name. When I try to download these simultaneously with Youtube-DLG, the second link fails almost immediately. This appears to be happening because the destination filenames are identical.

A week ago I also observed a similar situation, but instead of downloading the two VODs simultaneously, I downloaded them one after the other. In that case, the second download overwrote the first download completely.

What operating system do you use ?

Windows 7

List of actions to perform to reproduce the problem:

  1. Attempt to download two videos from the same site that have the same name simultaneously.

What is the expected behaviour ?

All downloads should complete successfully. I suggest adding a unique identifier to each filename, or prompting the user to enter the destination filename before the download starts.

What happens instead ?

One of the downloads errors out immediately.

Click the button in the top-right corner, and select Options

In the new window, find the dropdown box Filename format, and select Title + ID

While I'm sure that would help, it would be nice if the default configuration didn't result in errors that aren't actually explained to the user by the program itself.

If you didn't already know, this project is no longer being maintained.

No, I wasn't aware of that. It's quite sad as the app still works perfectly fine and is fantastic for non-technical users. My wife uses it on a regular basis.

There is a fork here that is still being maintained, if you ever run into problems.
