Question
Hello, I was hoping you can help me with some errors i am getting using youtube-dl. I am using the templates and folder structure here (https://github.com/1832923/ytdl-example).
The contents of the youtube-dl.bat, Channel_List_NoPlaylist.txt, and Channel_Args-NoPlaylist.conf can be found here (https://pastebin.com/jaP2GFzD).
When i run the .bat file, the first video in the txt file(Marques Brownlee) downloads with no problem. But the 2nd video (Rollie Williams) does not download and gives me an error:
ERROR: Cannot write metadata to JSON file Rollie Williams\Billiards expert Dr. Dave gives Rollie a pool master class _ From Average To Good\20191031 - Billiards expert Dr. Dave gives Rollie a pool master class _ From Average To Good - (3060s) [1920x1080] [WHJGKPbLIwA].info.json
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'Rollie Williams\\Billiards expert Dr. Dave gives Rollie a pool master class _ From Average To Good\\20191031 - Billiards expert Dr. Dave gives Rollie a pool master class _ From Average To Good - (3060s) [1920x1080] [WHJGKPbLIwA].info.json.60yek71a.tmp'
But when I download the Rollie Williams video using "youtube-dl --ignore-config https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHJGKPbLIwA&t=", it downloads with no issues.
Any help in solving this problem will be greatly appreciated.
