Description

Windows 10 allows users to enable Win32 long paths either from the Local Group Policy Editor or Registry Editor. However, youtube-dl does not honor this setting and fails to download files that are longer than 260 characters. Is it possible for youtube-dl to honor the Win32 long paths setting if enabled?
