When creating a new show with Cyanide & Happiness Shorts the resulting folder is missing the & in the name: Cyanide Happiness Shorts. Edit: Please note there are two spaces between Cyanide and Happiness but Github combines them into one space.
The settings.xml shows the correct name with <overwritefolder>Cyanide &amp; Happiness Shorts</overwritefolder>
Same goes for the file names.

In the current version (0.9.9.1), incorrect text is displayed in the "Settings - Library Settings" panel. The bottommost option, which should read "Movies Directory", instead reads "Notify on updating of playlist" (the text of the second option from the top).

Summary

Each YTL show produces four "could not create image" error dialog boxes every time they update, when using a smb share as the 'tv shows directory'.

Current Behavior

Using an SMB share for data causes these repeated errors.
Mounting the smb share and pointing YTL at that local path in the filesystem works normally.

Expected Behavior

All paths - at least all that are specifiable using the dialog box that pops up when you select the relevant options - work without causing errors.

Steps to reproduce

1. Kodi addons -> YTL -> options -> tv shows directory -> then use kodi's path browser to select an smb location.
   Alternatively, set manually in plugin.video.youtubelibrary\settings.xml.

2. YTL -> manage tv playlists -> pick a show -> context menu -> update now
   Note: happens on scheduled/automatic updates as well, such as immediately upon startup after enough time has passed.

3. 4 consecutive "could not create image" dialog boxes.
   No warning or error in kodi.log, however.

Workaround

Disable "download images" in YTL -> options

It could be useful. If it would be useful, musicvideos would profit most I reckon.

Here's how to do it:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33636215/how-can-i-query-wikidata-with-a-freebase-id-from-a-youtube-video

Firstly add topicDetails to the videos.list() option so we can retrieve topicid's of videos.

For some shows it can be useful to name the files with the publishing date.
They could then be scraped to the aired date from TVDB.

By date:

• anything_1996.11.14.ext (3)
• anything_1996-11-14.ext (3)
• anything_14.11.1996.ext (4)

I haven't been able to get the error to actually show up in my kodi log, but whenever I try to add the channel Techmoan (first search result for that string) as a TV show in Youtube library, it says there was an error, before even showing the uploads/playlist selector.

Running version 9.9.1 on Odroid N2 CoreElec edition (Kodi Nightly)

The "Remove" and "Strip" functions use | as a delimiter. However, it doesn't appear to be possible to escape the delimiter - I have tried a backslash \| and doubling || but neither worked.

Motivation, of course, is that I have a series with redundant title text ( | Rooster Teeth) including | that I'd like to be able to remove.

Nice feature otherwise, though - really helps clean up the list of shows.
