batch rename files from youtube ID ?

[inklara]

hi,

since july 2025 i have noticed that yt-dlp is not always save youtube videos with the correct name files,
i don't understand when this problem occurs, but when it occurs i have the same problems with all youtube channels
as if I download more than X videos then all the video files will suddenly looks like that : youtube video #cC30WckWHTs [cC30WckWHTs]

if i copy past that on google i can find the correct name, but it's not convenient when i want to download a complete channel of many videos

is there a way with a simple BAT file for example to rename those files with the correct name ?

in this example the video name file should be something like that ""Les histoires du parfum sont magiques, comparables à celles de l'écriture" - C'est Excellent [cC30WckWHTs]"

Hi Lupine,
Thanks for the file, but I already had it ^^
My problem is just file names.
Maybe what trigger that is to try to download a complete youtube channel which have way too many files.
I try to find a way to automatically rename those files with correct names, I feel it's possible with a BAT file, but I still don't know how.
It's to avoid to have this kind of mess when I batch download a youtube channel :
