Files aren't being named properly

Below is the list and how its setup. I'm getting the first file named properly but files after that are weird symbols and letters after that.

What file system are you saving these downloads to? Is it Unraid or on a Windows system or something like that?

Unraid, sorry about that I’m saving it to an xfs file system in Unraid.

I believe this is the default behaviour in youtube-dl when it encounters a filename which is unsupported by the filesystem it's trying to write to. For example, writing some UTF8 filename chars to an Unraid volume. It just picks a random name so the file isn't lost. I don't think this is anything TubeSync itself is doing, but if your videos have extended UTF8 chars in their titles try using {title} not {title_full} and see if that works. {title} is "slugified" and has extended chars auto-removed for this exact reason.

I took your advice then I randomly went into unraids filesytem to delete a file. The files are fine on unraid its only when I view them through a windows SMB share they look bad. Maybe its a title length thing?

[DutchyOven]

Im going to close this since its not tubesync. Thanks for the quick response!

Yes, could well be. SMB does have shorter file length limits than the bare filesystems. Cheers.

Side note in case anyone brings this up, your method words fine with SMB. Title shows up like normal.
