longer file names are not supported

[nothanks91]

i am getting following error while trying to download few videos,

ERROR: unable to open for writing: [Errno 36] Filename too long:

i am able to download similar videos using cli by passing (-o "%(title).100B [%(id)s].%(ext)s") in download command.

is there a way we can incorporate this restriction in GUI itself?

yes just set the environment variable OUTPUT_TEMPLATE of the container as python string-format. for example, %(title).50s (default is %(title).s) means cut title to 50 letters which is suitable for most file system

This worked for me Originally: %(channel)s/%(title)s.%(ext)s Now: %(channel)s/%(title).50s.%(ext)s
