[Feature Request] add filename tweak option like --trim-filenames

[UVJkiNTQ]

Since youtube allows a long title for streams, it is possible to meet a long tile which exceed the filesystem limitaiton. I met the 'file name too long' error and fail to mux the ts files.

[Kethsar]

I actually have something in place to do this automatically already. Did you see this message in your download? If so, can you post what it truncated to and what filesystem you use?

[UVJkiNTQ]

File system: ext4

Sorry I have cleared the terminial log and manually muxed the files with deletion. The log ouput I saw do not have this warning.

I remember I have seen an error on deletion of frag ts file, and warning of 'file name too long' of that ts file.

What version of ytarchive are you using?

[UVJkiNTQ]

0.5.0 install with go

[Kethsar]

Hm, odd. Next time you see it happen, paste the logs if you can.

[UVJkiNTQ]

okay. I will keep the log next time.

I will keep this issue open.

This time it seems sucessfully output a file but error occurs.

Ahhh I see, my check on file name length had the limit set to %output_name%.description, but fragment files end up with %format%.frag%frag_num%.ts at the end, which is a fair bit more. I haven't used fragment files for so long I forgot to account for that. I know what to do to fix this at least.
