Description
I am using youtube-dl on an EXT4 system and thus am able to use characters such as colon and question mark in filenames. But youtube-dl automatically replaces or omits such characters, and there doesn't seem to exist a flag to disable this. Please implement a possibility to keep such special characters if filesystem supports it.
