Hi,

if there is a question mark in the video title youtube-dl skips the given filename template. is it possible to ignore such characters?
I am using the latest version.

Christian

Is this still an issue?

I do not think so, I can't remember anything, but I will trust myself :P
Anyway, we are already reworking the escaping, no?

Trying with the first video with a question mark in the title I could find:

> youtube-dl --get-filename -o "%(id)s - %(stitle)s.%(ext)s" "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUJqS8_RLKg"
CUJqS8_RLKg - hmm title  maturity  riots  WTF question marks.mp4

Seems the question marks are striped, which I think is the expected result unless I misunderstood something, so it looks fixed to me!
