Question
Can someone please tell me which characters must be escaped when using the -o command to write to a specific path? I'm having a problem where, using Terminal, I can download to any path just fine, but using python3's subprocess to run youtube-dl returns
ERROR: fixed output name but more than one file to download
Judging from previous questions asked I suspect there are some characters in the path which need escaping, but I don't know which ones.
Just for reference, the path being sent to is
/Users/mewtwoswift/Desktop/Developer/AdSkipAudio/DOWNLOAD/Sonic_FanMix_-_Special_Stage_1.webm
Maybe the underscores? But I've never had to escape them before...
