downloader writing some files with two dots in name

[Sp4rky001]

Hello, I created the automation according to the README.md file but some are written with two dots before the extension.

I've even tried to run a replace function to try to alleviate this but it didn't work.

service: downloader.download_file
data:
url: '{{ trigger.event.data.url }}'
filename: '{{ trigger.event.data.label | replace(''.'','''') }}.mp4'

Any suggestions?

You could filter it out, like below. I can't confirm the issue but I do some extra filtering to cleanup the names a bit. The relevant bit would be the \.{2,} pattern.

filename: >
  {{ trigger.event.data.camera_name | regex_replace(find=" ", replace="_", ignorecase=False) }}_{{
    (trigger.event.data.label + '.mp4') | regex_replace(find="(\.{2,}|[&;><`\|\\\$!]+)", replace=".", ignorecase=False) }}
