[QUESTION] is there any way to change the filename format for downloaded files?

Open Dvdboy42 opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

When downoading a youtube playlist for example, the track number from the playlist gets added at the start of the filename, for example [001], [002] etc. this makes it feel cluttered imo

i assume namida uses yt-dlp to download the youtube equivalent of the YoutubeMusic track. i know that ytdlp has a format option. is this customizable? i would like to use something more universal like %(title).200B - %(uploader)s.%(ext)s, that doesnt make the filename different if its downloaded from different playlists, where it has a different index

thank you for your time <3 and as always, amazing work on the app!

yeah currently it's only inside bulk download page (try downloading any playlist)

ps: we don't use ytdlp but we use similar filename convenients for easier usage/familiarity

and ty too! (btw the number at first makes it easy to have ur music playlist files in order everywhere)
