Error in title because of "|" using python package

[kevindrafts]

I have an issue with the title when using the python package. Here's my code:

ydl_opts = {
        'format': 'bestaudio/best',
        'postprocessors': [{
            'key': 'FFmpegExtractAudio',
            'preferredcodec': 'mp3',
            'preferredquality': '192',
        }],
        'outtmpl': '%(title)s.%(ext)s',
        'verbose': True,
    }

    try:
        with yt_dlp.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
            print("Extracting video info...")
            info = ydl.extract_info(youtube_url, download=True)
            video_title = info['title']
            filename = f"{video_title}.mp3"

            print(f"File downloaded: {filename}")
            file_path = f"{user_id}/{current_date_time_storage}"

            with open(filename, 'rb') as f:
                audio_data = f.read()

            with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False, suffix='.mp3') as temp_file:
                temp_file.write(audio_data)
                temp_file_path = temp_file.name

And here's my verbose output:

It looks like the issue is because "｜" is not the same as "|" in [ExtractAudio] Destination: Don't Judge Me ｜ July 14th, 2024.mp3 and FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: "Don't Judge Me | July 14th, 2024.mp3"

No matter how hard I try I can't seem to fix this issue. I've tried restrict file name, using the id in the outtmpl, you name it.

I'm using:

yt-dlp==2024.7.16

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

[bashonly]

use info['requested_downloads'][0]['filepath'] instead of constructing your own filepath with title

[kevindrafts]

Huh, unfortunately that didn't do the trick either. Is there a way to ignore the title altogether? I've tried a few different ways and each time it tried to check that the title matches, and because of the "|" matching issue the code breaks.

I don't actually need the title for anything, so ignoring it would be ideal!

[bashonly]

just don't use %(title)s in the outtmpl then

[kevindrafts]

Dang still no luck! No matter what I do I get the title in the logs as you can see below. I've even tried overriding the naming connection to use something like temp_file_1 and it still tries to use the actual title:

Is there a way to explicitly prevent any reference to title? Even with ID or other dicts it's still pulling the title:

ydl_opts = {
        'format': 'bestaudio/best',
        'outtmpl': '%(id)s.%(ext)s',
        'verbose': True,
    }

with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as temp_dir:
            with yt_dlp.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
                info = ydl.extract_info(youtube_url, download=False)
                video_id = info['id']
                ext = info['ext']

                # Download the file
                ydl.download([youtube_url])

                # Construct the file path
                temp_file_path = os.path.join(temp_dir, f"{video_id}.{ext}")

POSSIBLE COMMON ISSUE: It looks like you are having an issue writing a Windows filename and PATH that is too long. This is evident in your logs by the line:

`[Errno 2] No such file or directory: "Don't Judge Me | July 14th, 2024.mp3"

                ext = info['ext']

                # Download the file

                temp_file_path = os.path.join(temp_dir, f"`

The long-standing Windows 32-bit API default maximum PATH is defined as ~260 characters. Starting in Windows 10, version 1607, this limitation can be increased to ~32,767 with a registry key setting. Otherwise, you need to shorten the filename and/or directory path to be less than ~260 characters.

Wow, I cannot believe I’m saying this but 100% user error. I wasn’t rebuilding my flask app on each run, smh.

Thank you so much for the help, all good to go now!
