Description

The video gets downloaded but with the file name %(title).mp4, I want to download the whole channel, the channel pages are downloaded but all videos result in the same file name and are therefore skipped. lsb_release -a on my machine is:

Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 19.04
Release:	19.04
Codename:	disco```

Here another verbose output with the same result but with single quotes:

Invalid output template. Each sequence must have trailing conversion type like %(ext)s.

[ManuelTS]

Please tell me, why '%(upload_date) - %(title).%(ext)s' of

youtube-dl -o '%(upload_date) - %(title).%(ext)s' --restrict-filenames -v https://www.bitchute.com/video/dW5uDoyZZEt9/

is not having the trailing conversion type %(ext)s? It clearly has?

[dstftw]

Each sequence must have
Each

[ManuelTS]

Thanks for your reply on a closed issue.

Okay each sequence, to be honest I don't know what exactly you mean by that. I removed all arguments except the -o one, nothing changes on the output, the title of the video is not inserted but rather only the raw template string %(title) as described.

I just want to download (for now) only the single video in the above link with the posted arguments but it does not work.

If it is not a bug, may you please be so kind to modify my try so that it works? I played a lot with it but the result stays the same.

[dstftw]

Are you trolling or what?
Must be %(upload_date)s instead of %(upload_date), %(title)s instead of %(title).

[ManuelTS]

No, I did not understand what you meant, but with your example it is absolutely clear. Thank you.
