using metadata (author) in output file name

[jomo]

Sorry if this is a duplicate, I tried to find a similar issue, but I could find any.

I like to store my music in the format of author - title.mp3.
The best approach I got is using --output "%(uploader)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s", however the uploader (username) isn't always the author (actual name) of a song.
When I use --add-metadata (on SoundCloud) the author is correct (not the uploader) in the ID3 tags added to the file.

Is there a way to achieve this, or could it be added?

Could you post the url you are trying with and the output of youtube-dl --verbose THE_URL --output "%(uploader)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s"?

Actually I can't reproduce this anymore. I forgot which song I downloaded when it happened, but I was sure it used the username instead of the display name.

Probably messed something up.
