Script replaced by https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469799-youtube-add-filename-formatted-title
Documentation
A very simple script. This
- Grabs youtube video titles and removes common windows filename scheme incompatible characters.
- It can also be run on the description of the video in case the filename exists there instead.
- 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:
- Click appropriate button to reformat title or description for windows. These are right above the video title.
Errors:
- 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 clicking
a. This can result in it not working
b. This can result in the title turning blank until reload
