Description

If I try to download a youtube channel after youtube-dl 2020.11.01.1 version, the title based on en-us is extracted.

As you can see in the log above, For example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zM9r_ssl5eA the extracted title is
First Person Volleyball Tournament Amateur | Full Championship «Bright Fit» | 4 Games | #96 episode
but original title is
Волейбол от первого лица весь турнир | Чемпионат «Bright Fit» целиком | #96 эпизод.

Can change it to extract the original title?

First of all you're not running on the latest version of youtube-dl, you're using 2020.11.01.1 and the latest is 2020.11.18
Secondly, can't you just rename the title of the video to the original, by hand or are you doing something automated?

I using 2020.11.18. look the log.
I was saying "after" 2020.11.01.1, not that I was using it.

And there are so many videos but I’m not good at programming or scripting. so I want fix it.

I see my bad.

Ah so it's not just a one off, hmm, are you sure there isn't an option in the variables to save the original title instead?

As far as I know, there are no options.
not working cookies, %(alt_title)s, etc...

The %(title)s variable itself seems to have changed.

try it like this> youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zM9r_ssl5eA --output "First Person Volleyball Tournament Amateur | Full Championship «Bright Fit» | 4 Games | #96 episode.%(ext)s" mp4

the last paragraph - https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedl/comments/jog6av/how_to_use_a_videos_translated_english_title_as/ just delete -x and audio-format mp3 --output "specific_name.%(ext)s" and just replace specific_name with First Person Volleyball Tournament Amateur | Full Championship «Bright Fit» | 4 Games | #96 episode.

This situation happens when I download a YouTube channel. Not a single video download.
(ex. https://youtube.com/c/channel)

And I want to replace English translated title to non translated title.
This happened because the channel manager set up to show English titles to English users. This feature seems to be called 'alternative title'.
I’am not English user. So not needed this.
(Reddit writer is the opposite situation to me.)

I know use --output(-o) option. but there are many videos on each channel. So I want automatly extract original title.
