Feature request: Add an optional filename field to form #56

Thanks for your amazing work in advance. I'm wondering if it's possible to add an optional filename field to the form, which can override the default OUTPUT_TEMPLATE. (Optional means that if the value is not present in form, fallback to use OUTPUT_TEMPLATE.)

It's useful for downloading content with random title or metadata (e.g. downloading m3u8 content), and allows user to manage the downloaded files more intuitively without remembering the mapping between file names.

Hey. It probably should be in some "advanced" tab that can be opened, because it would be a rarely used option that I wouldn't want to clutter the UI with... I think it's worth implementing sometime.

The other use case I run into is some downloads will fail because the file name is too long. It would be great to have a means to fix that. I don't think there currently is one, but would love to be wrong!

Hi,

I would be useful as well when filenames are the same (for a serie for eg).

Those two urls give me the same name:

And I want to set a name to easily identify which one is the episode 1 or episode 2

Linked to #124

Thanks a lot!
