Package: yt-dlp Version: 2026.03.17-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
when trying to grab a video off of facebook, yt-dlp auto-detected the filename should be "58K views · 1.2K reactions ｜ Got something weighing you down？ Shake it off (like Curiosity)! The Martian explorer unintentionally picked up a rock while drilling a recent sample, but the team was able to dislodge it by having the rover move its robotic arm and vibrate the drill until the rock fell off. ｜ NASA Mars [1411954174302466].mp4.part" which turns out to be too long of a filename for my filesystem. (using the -o flag download & wrote the video just fine) programs going back to at least the DOS days have been smart enough to know that "if the filename is too long to write...write a shorter one". yt-dlp should, imho, handle this case automatically. -- System Information: Distributor ID: Devuan Description: Devuan GNU/Linux 7 (freia/ceres) Release: 7 Codename: freia ceres Architecture: x86_64 Kernel: Linux 6.19.13+deb14-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages yt-dlp depends on: ii python3 3.13.9-3+b1 ii python3-certifi 2026.4.22+ds-1 ii python3-mutagen 1.47.0-1 hi python3-pycryptodome 3.20.0+dfsg-3 hi python3-requests 2.32.5+dfsg-1 ii python3-urllib3 2.6.3-2 hi python3-websockets 15.0.1-1+b1 Versions of packages yt-dlp recommends: hi ca-certificates 20260223 ii curl 8.20.0-1 ii ffmpeg 7:8.1-3+b1 hi wget 1.25.0-2 Versions of packages yt-dlp suggests: pn deno | nodejs | quickjs <none> pn libfribidi-bin | bidiv <none> -- no debconf information
