If attempting to download a movie with a ":" in the title, it will fail. Error log is
04/12/2022 20:20:00: caught exception: System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.
at Microsoft.BackgroundIntelligentTransfer.Management.NewBitsTransferCommand.ProcessRecord()
at System.Management.Automation.CommandProcessor.ProcessRecord() at 1649. Illegal characters in path.
It appears that movies are not checked for illegal characters like TV shows and Music are. I cannot figure out the solution due to my limited experience with powershell code. Hopefully someone else can work this out.
Thanks for letting me know. Yea, the function to strip invalid filepath characters (like :) was missing from a couple places.
I don't really maintain this script any more, but this fix took me 2 minutes so I fixed it in the latest master branch. (v 1.1.2)
I do point people to this guys repo now though if you are looking for a better implementation than my simple script. He has made a really nice GUI and feature set for doing what my simple script did. can find his here:
