Description

Is it possible to make youtube-dl add a video's categories/tags to filename? With an argument like category or tag

For example a syntax like this for this video (NSFW obviously) Example video

%(uploader)s - %(title)s - %(category)s.%(ext)s

Would result in a filename like this

paXionfruit - Red Lipstick Close Up BlowJob. - PaxionFruit - Amateur, Big Dick, Blowjob, Brunette, Cumshot, HD Porn, Teen (18+), Verified Amateurs, Verified Couples.mp4

There is actually no need to tag this as pornhub (and thus nsfw). Many other extractors including youtube also provides categories information. For example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Od1VaDL090 has 'categories': ['Education']

I didn't know that, I only tagged it as Pornhub because it was the extractor I was trying to do this on. So is this something that can be added in the future?

@MrDemous I am not a maintainer of youtube-dl. So I can't say if this will ever be implemented. But, you should get what you want if you just remove and not isinstance(v, (list, tuple, dict)) from github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl@dfbbe2902f/youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py (L661)

$ youtube-dl --get-filename 5Od1VaDL090 -o "%(title)s %(categories)s.%(ext)s"
Разбираю и объясняю пример хорошего и плохого кода ['Education'].webm

I have no idea how to do that but I ended up switching to your fork which has this implemented in it. Thanks for the help and your great work @pukkandan
