Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I was trying to download a video from an M3U8. Everything was going fine until FFMPEG suddenly quits saying "No such file or directory".

Turns out, the output filename Youtube-DL was feeding FFMPEG was bad, causing FFMPEG to quit. The simple solution is to use the -o flag on Youtube-DL to specify an output name. Though ideally, Youtube-DL shouldn't be outputting bad filenames to begin with.

yan12125 · 2017-10-19T04:49:27Z

In YoutubeDL.process_info()

        if len(info_dict['title']) > 200:
            info_dict['title'] = info_dict['title'][:197] + '...'

Such truncation should occur in prepare_filename. Extension replacements (e.g., in FragmentFD) should be considered, too.
