Description

It seems youtube description is limited by 158 symbols in youtube-dl. I tried many videos on youtube and always getting no more 158 symbols followed by three dots. I tried "--write-description", "--write-info-json", "--get-description" with the same result. How I can download complete description?

Regards,
Serg.

Hello, I've reproduced and got a full description. Maybe it depends on your terminal configuration?

Научный редактор портала Warhead.su Евгений Норин и историк Егор Яковлев обсудили события недавней истории — теракт в Будённовске летом 1995 года. Тогда террористы во главе с Шамилем Басаевым напали на российский город в Ставропольском крае, где заняли больницу. В результате вооружённого захвата заложников погибли более сотни человек

You are probably right. I didn't sorted out yet, but because you can't reproduce issue on Linux, I think there is some specific FreeBSD settings. Will dig in this direction. Thanks for help.

I don't think it's the terminal display, it's more like a bug.

Thanks Liran, found this bug too later. It seems in new version will be fixed.
