just enable restrict filename from settings -> Folders -> Restrict Filenames

[ksi]

Yes this helped! But it removed all non-latin symbols from file name. It became: . - 200._._._15%_.m4a. I'm afraid it will corrupt files with non-latin symbols in names only. Or will make duplicates. Cannot the app just abbreviate long file names?

[tusharchopra07]

try using %(title).200B in your filename template, just do not use restrict filenames

[ksi]

Did I make it right?

%(uploader).30s - %(title).150s works for me. This channel has too long uploader name too. My only confusion here is: how Seal (another app based on yt-dlp) hadles it automatically? May be it worth to make some default limits in default command to avoid manual configuration?

[ksi]

Oh I got it. It uses %(title).200B [%(id)s].%(ext)s by default.

I'll try to find a way out of this so you don't have to do it manually

Fixed in 1.7.3
