Videos with slash in title are created as directory

[orschiro]

Hi guys,

For this case I refer to the video Eric Clapton/JJ Cale-After Midnight.

I tried to download it with youtube-dl.py -ci --extract-audio -o %(title)s.%(ext)s

Unfortunately on a Windows system this causes the creation of a folder "Eric Clapton" with "JJ Cale-After Midnight" inside due to the slash in the title.

How can I prevent this behaviour without changing the output template?

Regards,

Robert

%(title)s is for the literal title. We should probably deprecate it, and it's undocumented. Use %(stitle)s for the title, unless you're doing some crazy things.

Thanks. %(title)s indeed led to better results. I cannot even remember any more where I found the information on stitle usage.

Regards
