Download can error out if the scraped title has a dirty name (no such file or directory) #314

Description

@FlashlightET

Describe the bug
Might just be windows (cuz i know linux is more free about what symbols can be used in filenames). For example, The Simpsons 1x03 "Homer's Odyssey" scrapes as "Homer's Odyssey" and as a result tries to save it to "Homer's Odyssey.mkv" and the ffmpeg has a stroke trying to save it. Workaround is to use -x to find the command and rename the output file, but it would be nice if the scraper sanitized the names for formatting issues such as '

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download an episode with a messed up title
  2. See error

Expected behavior
Scraper sanitizes episode names to fix encoded characters such as '.
