Revert to previous way vines were downloaded

[hentaiwithsenpai]

Would it be possible to revert to the old way vines were downloaded? Using the latest release, it's rather difficult to separate their vines from the revines. Since it uses the description of the vines, rather then using what it used to use. Ex. When I download vines now they're like "When haters hate, ya just gotta shake it off. KingBach , Christian DelGrosso , Curtis Lepore"
instead of "Josh Peck's post on vine-"

Can you provide an example test URL and detail which properties you expect to be what?

Yes I can.

When I download it as I stated in the OP. It uses the description of the video rather than what it would use in previous versions. If I still was using an older version, it would've downloaded it as "Josh Peck's Post on Vine-123128312831230(it usually sticks in random numbers after Vine-).mp4"

But it downloads as "When haters hate, ya just gotta shake it off. KingBach, Christian DelGrosso, Curtis Lepore-O6b6PrlTaJK.mp4" Or is there perhaps a way to just download a Viner's vines and skip over the revines? If not then back to what I was saying then. It was just much easier for me to delete the revines via linuxs terminal with the previous versions.

Thanks for replying btw.

By default, youtube-dl uses an output template that contains both title and video ID. That's the reason for the numbers.

The names KingBach , Christian DelGrosso , Curtis Lepore are contained in the text itself. Therefore, we cannot really split them from the original message.

I've re-added the old title again, but as alt_title, not title, because I do think that the new title is more descriptive in many cases (and it was explicitly requested by other users). You can use -o "%(alt_title)s.%(ext)s" to get the old behavior back.

You'll need 2014.12.12.1 for this change, by the way.

Thanks for the update! Sorry to bug you again.

But could you show an example using what you wrote to get the old behavior back?

Also, when it updates again would I need to re run it again to get the old behavior back?

alt_title is now an option and can (for the foreseeable future) be used whenever you want. Currently, only vine implements it - duh!

It works like this:

$ youtube-dl -o "%(alt_title)s.%(ext)s" https://vine.co/v/O6b6PrlTaJK
