Anime with any invalid characters in the title fails to download about anipy-cli HOT 6 CLOSED

Yeah we can extract the method used in line 397 to a new function and apply it to both the file name and the directory name

from anipy-cli.

should work now in 2.4.20

I seem to have the same problem, tried downloading an anime with ":" in the name and it threw 'invalid directory name' error at me

anipy-cli: latest build (v2.4.25)
OS: win10 21H2
Python 3.10.5

sys.platform -> 'win32'

not sure where the problem is... is there a simple way to force it? I'm not really keen on hacking it on every update.
edit: Oh yeah sorry for posting in a closed issue, making a new one seemed like a waste..

Ah yes last time I only made it replace the chars in the name of the video file not for the directory. Will patch this.

from anipy-cli.

I got around the issue by forcing a folder name temporarily in downloader.py, end of line 40.
I think the issue lies there, it grabs the show name and uses that too name the folder, but if the show has any banned characters in the name the folder can't be made.

Fixed in v2.2.27
