Bad title causes issues with FFMPEG

Open tigsberg opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

I'm using twitch-dl v2.0.1 and I keep getting an error when trying to download a Twitch VOD. ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I was confused what was causing the issue so I directly copied the FFMPEG input twitch-dl provides

ffmpeg -i /tmp/twitch-dl/...

and called it separately.

Apparently, the exclamation point and spaces in the title causes the issue. When removing it, FFMPEG stitches everything and produces a video - great!

Only issue is I am doing this via ssh on a different machine and want to automate it, so if there's a way to change the metadata of the VOD before beginning of the FFMPEG stitching process, I would be grateful.

Also having this issue. Trying to download a vod with "|" in the title causes the videos joining to fail. Stripping the title metadata and running the ffmpeg command manually is successful.

I also am experiencing the same issues with the datetime placeholder for --output. Datetime uses colens which can't be written to a filename in Windows.
