Script replaced by https://gfork.dahi.icu/en/scripts/469799-youtube-add-filename-formatted-title

Documentation

A very simple script. This

1. Grabs youtube video titles and removes common windows filename scheme incompatible characters.
2. It can also be run on the description of the video in case the filename exists there instead.
3. It can also append the channel name to the title if desired.

Notes:• It also removes some probably compatible characters because I couldn't be bothered to check each of these.• It is not automatic as lags on youtube loading titles can break automatic versions of this script. Instead buttons are • created above the description.• This does not use a regex to remove non alpha-numeric characters as I didn't want to deal with non-english language characters.

Characters removed = &,| ,|| ,? ,! ,@ ,.,',`,/,\,:,;,*,^,%,$,#,+,_,’,→,」 ,「 ,} ,{ ,ー ,／ ,『 ,』 ,！,,,【,】+ more

Usage:

1. Click appropriate button to reformat title or description for windows. These are right above the video title.

Errors:

1. Reload the page as this often fails the first time a page loads (due to how youtube generates pages) or if you wait more than a few minutes before clickinga. This can r###lt in it not workingb. This can r###lt in the title turning blank until reload
