Describe the issue

Hi! One podcast I subscribe to has super long titles sometimes (and sometimes with a newline), which causes audiobookshelf to crash/fail to download episodes. It'd be great if it could catch this somehow trim the title to be within limits.

Sadly I can't convince the publisher to shorten or fix the titles

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Click "Find Episodes"
  2. Select all
  3. Start downloading

here's the logs with a (censored, but same length) path that triggered the I/O error. (storage backend is rclone, unsure if other systems have similar limits)

        throw error;

That's strange to put newlines in an episode title, but either way we should be sanitizing the filename so thanks for catching that.

Actually we are already sanitizing that filename, can you give a little more of the log since I'm not sure what is triggering that error. Is the episode getting saved at all to the file system?

Will do! Thanks for looking into it :)

I’m not at my laptop at the moment but maybe it has to do with file length? I tried manually creating a file with the same name with touch sans new line and got an i/o error but when i hacked off a big chunk of the name touch succeeded

edit: i’ll have to double check but i believe there was no file made by abs for that episode

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jun 2, 2022):

The sanitize function I put in there was not removing line breaks and was not checking filename length.
The filename you had was exceeding the max length for Windows at least.

I fixed it for the next release. I think line breaks are legal in filenames but I can't think of any reason to leave them in, they could cause unexpected problems.

Grateful for those strange episode names after all!

Ah! Thanks for that. Will test and get back to you if it persists :)
