[FEATURE] Do not rename downloaded files #957

Hey, when downloading manually with yt-dlp for example, a video is downloaded with its title, concatenated with its youtube id. That youtube-id is good to have, if other tools down the line try to fetch metadata. I have a solution where I download videos with youtubeDl-Material, mount the video folder into another selfhosted container, where I then accumulate more videos and let another tool handle indexing/metadata search.

The solution could be to have a setting, that allows the actual output name of the downloaded file to be kept.

Example: The video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhrdh-uFkog is downloaded when yt-dlp is used into Beginner Bachata Footwork - 3 Variations Of The Triple Step In Bachata ｜ Bachata Dance Academy [bePRL_K3Jyk].mp4, with the part [bePRL_K3Jyk] present. Though when used with youtubeDL-Material it ends up being named Bachata Beginner Basic Steps Tutorial - Demetrio & Nicole - Bachata Dance Academy.mp4

Another reason to add youtube id is to distinguish videos with the same title. Currently if two different videos has the same title, second video wont be downloaded because app thinks that download has already been done.
