YT-DLP "-o" and "--parse-metadata" for custom "File.name"

[pssh]

I am trying to get the filename to follow the same pattern as does Freevine/Devine etc.
when downloading "SERIES"

Series.Name.S01E01.Episode.Name.FR.2024.1080p.FRTV.WEB-DL.AAC.LC.2.0.H.264

I have tried the following:

-o '%(title)s.FR.2024.1080p.FRTV.WEB-DL.AAC.LC.2.0.264.%(ext)s'

RESULT: (Missing the Series/Episode numbering)
Il_etait_une_fois...ces_droles_d_objets_-_Il_etait_une_fois_la_tablette_de_chocolat.FR.2024 .1080p.FRTV.WEB-DL.AAC.LC.2.0.264



This creates long file name ...

-o '%(title)s.S%(season_number)02dE%(episode_number)02d:%(title)s.FR.2024.1080p.FRTV.WEB-DL.AAC.LC.2.0.264.%(ext)s'

RESULT: (YT-DLP failed to MUX it as the filenames are too long ...)
Il_etait_une_fois...ces_droles_d_objets_-_Il_etait_une_fois_la_tablette_de_chocolat.S01E01# Il_etait_une_fois...ces_droles_d_objets_-_Il_etait_une_fois_la_tablette_de_chocolat.FR.2024 .1080p.FRTV.WEB-DL.AAC.LC.2.0.264


Feels like I am getting closer, but "Episode.Name" is missing:

yt-dlp `
--parse-metadata "title:(?P<series>.+?), Series \d+" `
--parse-metadata "title:, Series (?P<season_number>\d+), Episode (?P<episode_number>\d+)" `
-o "%(series)s.S%(season_number)02dE%(episode_number)02d.FR.2024.1080p.FRTV.WEB-DL.AAC.LC.2.0.264.%(ext)s" `
--embed-subs `
--sub-langs all `
--embed-chapters `
--embed-metadata `
--embed-info-json `
--embed-thumbnail `
--restrict-filenames `
"https://www.france.tv/enfants/six-huit-ans/il-etait-une-fois-ces-droles-d-objets/saison-1/5692527-il-etait-une-fois-la-tablette-de-chocolat.html"

RESULT: (Missing Episode.Name)
Il_etait_une_fois...ces_droles_d_objets.S01E01.FR. 2024.1080p.FRTV.WEB-DL.AAC.LC.2.0.264.mp4


So is it the website at fault, YT-DLP or just a matter of re-fining the "-o" and "--parse-metadata"?

[lomero]

with -o '%(title)s.%(ext)s'
you get: Il_etait_une_fois...ces_droles_d_objets_-_Il_etait_une_fois_la_tablette_de_chocolat.mp4

yt-dlp parse metadata from video link


with -o 'Series.Name.S01E01.Episode.Name.FR.2024.1080p.FRT V.WEB-DL.AAC.LC.2.0.H.264.%(ext)s'
you get Series.Name.S01E01.Episode.Name.FR.2024.1080p.FRTV .WEB-DL.AAC.LC.2.0.H.264.mp4

Are you saying it's not possible to name the files:

Il.était.une.fois...ces.drôles.d'objets.S01E01.la. tablette.de.chocolat.FR.2024.1080p.FRTV.WEB-DL.AAC.LC.2.0.H.264.mp4
Il.était.une.fois...ces.drôles.d'objets.S01E02.Le. ballon.de.football.FR.2024.1080p.FRTV.WEB-DL.AAC.LC.2.0.H.264.mp4
and so on.....

from URLs that do not have the "episode" included (does have series....)?

https://www.france.tv/enfants/six-huit-ans/il-etait-une-fois-ces-droles-d-objets/saiso...-chocolat.html



Is there any way to achieve that from the METAdata with "--parse-metadata" and/or any other switch?
Or in the case of f.tv/specific series it's not possible?

--parse-metadata "title:(?P<series>.+?), Series \d+" `
--parse-metadata "title:, Series (?P<season_number>\d+), Episode (?P<episode_number>\d+)" `
-o "%(series)s.S%(season_number)02dE%(episode_number)02d.FR.2024.1080p.FRTV.WEB-DL.AAC.LC.2.0.H.264.%(ext)s" `
--replace-in-metadata "title,uploader,series" "[ _]" "." `

will result in:

Il.était.une.fois...ces.drôles.d'objets.-.Il.était.une.fois.la.tablette.de.chocolat.S01E01#.FR.2024.1080p.FRTV.WEB-DL.AAC.LC.2.0.H.264.mp4
