Description

As far as I can tell, FFmpeg isn't finding the the files it was provided by yt-dlp for some reason (not passing the dir correctly?), it worked for the full channel but a few videos had this exact issue

Videos IDs that had this issue for me (not all 28, just some):

LA3NP8SrOBM (The one used in the log above)
4qhsDeNH3pI
WccUIyGsMMY
e1yswFq5Xdk
mBX5zscxdcI

What I could think happened is some filename encoding issue or something that has to do with Arabic text, but I'm not really sure as other videos worked fine, just a few that kept having this exact issue (not matter how much I tried), and I've verified that the files actually exist and that I'm updated to the latest (10.10.2021 as of now)

There was no mention of this issue anywhere I've looked, I searched with keywords but the only thing that was close was #871 but it was still for an entirely different issue (mine isn't about a problem with muxing tracks... probably)

Hopefully I did the bug reporting right

The filename is too long. Use a shorter output template

The filename is too long. Use a shorter output template

is there a way to make a "backup" filename format in case this happens instead of just completely changing the template? as having such an issue could be pretty problematic for bulk archiving like in my case, perhaps I'd miss one video where it errored out without me realizing it and thus having an actually incomplete archive, and this happened for like %3 of the videos... which is a bit high for such a thing

also, the audio and videos tracks are all being downloaded correctly even through they are the same length... shouldn't the temp file be possible then (it's even one character short than template.quality(f249.. etc).webm)? perhaps this is more of an ffmpeg issue of not being able to create as long of a filename in windows

There is an issue open for this. #1136

Use the %(title).100s syntax to limit how much length each field in your template is allowed to take up. There is also the --trim-filenames option, but it will give you much less flexibility
