There's this pull request that works on fixing the problem (not merged yet), I don't know if it is yours under a different alias, but you can see the work and edge cases involved for something that a priori seems simple ("just truncate the name!" haha). Also the dude making the PR looks like an external contributor. It seems like normal polite open source interaction there to me, despite what could be perceived as a negative initial reaction. What might come across as dry or brushing off could be genuine concern at unforeseen consequences.
- mwattsun 5y agoNot mine. It gets kind of interesting when there are a lot of emojis in the tweet because they get expanded, as in the emoji becomes the descriptive name for it, like American flag hand clap hand clap heart laughing out loud. This causes it to become too long.
- numpad0 5y agoI don’t get it. Just truncate the name haha. What I don’t understand is affected versions of youtube-dl/yt-dlp aborts download when the resultant filename just happens to be too long, and there’s no quick and easy way to temporarily work it. Ephemeral URLs could become stale before that is done.
- DarylZero 5y agoWell, it's actually not that hard to quickfix it at the CLI: youtube-dl -o "%(title).200s-%(id)s.%(ext)s"
