260 characters

I don't understand why the server is complaining about this.  Clearly the path is nowhere near that limit, and it only complains about Season 14.

      The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

The error message needs to be improved. It's not complaining about that particular path, but something down underneath it.

Ahh. EP6 had some crazy long filename for some reason.  I fixed that so I believe it should stop complaining now

spammer posts by user  'gamick_lisafisher' have since been removed. I would advise caution if considering using an application called "Long Path Tool" which the spammer was pushing.
