I see lots of yt-dlp commands here so… PSA: yt-dlp exits non-zero if destination filename or any of intermediate files’ names are too long for the filesystem.

I see lots of yt-dlp commands here so… PSA: yt-dlp exits non-zero if destination filename or any of intermediate files’ names are too long for the filesystem. Use `-o "%(title).150B [%(id)s].%(ext)s"` to limit filename length(to 150 bytes in this example). “--trim-filenames” don’t work.
