For the last several weeks I'm getting filenames with hex appended to 
them, like this:

2017-08-25-symhc-mamie-till-mobley.mp3_5221fb414a2ce6010f23bcd904813846_14724311.mp3

The filename when downloaded with clementine is this:

2017-08-25-symhc-mamie-till-mobley.mp3

This seems to happen only on How Stuff Works, but I can't say for
sure. I've gotten sporadic strangeness on Starship Sofa, but not
identical to this, and it seems to have resolved itself.


Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks,

Gary



From e.g.
https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/streaming.stuffyoushouldknow.com/sysk/2017-08-24-sysk-personality-tests-final.mp3?awCollectionId=1003&awEpisodeId=928245

There is a cascade of redirections ending in e.g.

https://podcast-delivery.streaming.stuffyoushouldknow.com/sysk/2017-08-24-sysk-personality-tests-final.mp3/2017-08-24-sysk-personality-tests-final.mp3_d7bd02e4185e2b46b46f2bece8552005_21805646.mp3?awCollectionId=1003&awEpisodeId=928245&hash_redirect=1&listeningSessionID=59651473d99ac1c1_4240806_dX2p6LOd__00000048zui

You see the filename changes from
2017-08-24-sysk-personality-tests-final.mp3
to
2017-08-24-sysk-personality-tests-final.mp3_d7bd02e4185e2b46b46f2bece8552005_21805646.mp3

You might want to turn on the "Rename episodes after Download"
extension to get a shorter name.

Cheers,
