Hallo,

i want to know what is the problem when i download something else i don't get any error,
but know when i try to download some of these courses i get this error and i'am sure it is because of the file name that is generated by youtube-dl, the name of the downloaded videos always contains the name of its chapter then " - " then the title.

Example:

name of the course is : "Creating Persuasive Imagery Through Photomanipulation in Photoshop",
i use "%(playlist)s" to create a folder for it

there are 2 chapters : the second on is : "Creating Persuasive Imagery Through Photomanipulation in Photoshop" (for this course the name is the same as the second chapter)
i use "(chapter_number)s - %(chapter)s" to create a folder for each chapter with their number

then there are the videos : on of them is the second in this course : "Conceptual Parameters and Visual Ideas"
i use "%(playlist_index)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s"

so the output should be :
C:\Users\xxx\Downloads\Pluralsight.com\Creating Persuasive Imagery Through Photomanipulation in Photoshop\2 - Creating Persuasive Imagery Through Photomanipulation in Photoshop\2 - Conceptual Parameters and Visual Ideas.mp4

instead i get this output file:
C:\Users\xxx\Downloads\Pluralsight.com\Creating Persuasive Imagery Through Photomanipulation in Photoshop\2 - Creating Persuasive Imagery Through Photomanipulation in Photoshop\2 - Creating Persuasive Imagery Through Photomanipulation in Photoshop - Conceptual Parameters and Visual Ideas.mp4

see the difference youtube-dl appends the name of the chapter to the title of the video just with
"%(title)s" which makes the file name too long

can anyone help me ?
