Description
When I try to download any videos, I get the warning
WARNING: Assuming --restrict-filenames since file system encoding cannot encode all characters. Set the LC_ALL environment variable to fix this.which I have set my locale environment toand every once in a while I get the ascii encoding error. I have searched up similar issues on google and the GitHub issues with the solutions not working.
I am interfacing with youtube-dl via my own python script which I will post below and I have enabled verbose as one of the options.
I think the issue has something to do with the systems locale setting but I am unsure why because of my experience level and that when I tried to change the locale LC_ALL variable to C.UTF-8, it still had the exact same error.
Any help would be appreciated.
