Description

When downloading private videos using the --cookies flag, videos downloaded from pornhub save with 24 spaces, then a hyphen, then the "viewkey"

e.g., using the #1 most viewed video on the site as an example of how the title would work:

youtube-dl https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ph5df154382e4f3 --cookies ~/cookies.txt

will output a file with the name:

' -ph5df154382e4f3.mp4'
