video in question is xo5qfiAR6GY
yt-dlp --write-info-json --continue --ignore-errors xo5qfiAR6GY
It downloads perfectly on windows but getting error on linux
I thought “/” on the title causing the issue but video downloads without any issue when not using “–write-info-json” parameters.
is there any way to ignore json errors and keep downloading the video and what causing this error?

This is strange .description is 12 char and .info.json is 10 char but yt-dlp able to download description but not the json.
--ignore-errorsshould have ignored that error imo (the error was about the info json, as demonstrated by the.info.jsonin the file name)use the output template to shorten the filename, e.g.:
-o "%(title).100B [%(id)s].%(ext)s"
