Playlist download doesn't remove forbidden filename characters

[GillyTheGhillie]

If you download a playlist with invalid folder characters in the title (eg ":") it will crash the program because it tries to create a directory with that character

Reproduce: Try to download a playlist with a forbidden filename character in the title

Fix: Strip any forbidden characters from the directory name before creating the directory
