Hello there, so I noticed that a few updates ago the filter worked this way when I turn it on to Filter Out all files that aren't Videos:
Download link generates a video file > accept | doesn't generate a video file > doesn't accept.

But now its not checking the files generated through the download links,but only the link itself, so if my link ends with a .mp4 for example it considers a video,if not it doesn't, which is normal, problem is that doesn't check the files it generates anymore, like if try to filter in a video from a host that doesn't end its download link as the real file extension, such as any video hosted on gofile.io(gofile .io) that worked before, now it will consider the file as a non-video and filter its out, a month ago or so JDownloader was properly filtering those in, not anymore; then I have to turn it off to work now and its important to have it On to avoid it to download all files, which in some cases/sites such as webmshare.com(webmshare) the download link will grab many other files beyond the video file.

The filter handling wasn't touched by us with the recent updates.

What do you mean by that?
Where does the link come from and how is it "generated"?

Please provide example URLs.
Most likely this is a simple plugin related bug.

Looks like webmshare.com is a website which we do so far not support via plugin but it would be easy to add a plugin for this one which would then also simplify your process of searching for video items when source is "webmshare.com".
If you're interested in a plugin for webmshare.com, please provide example URLs.

@DannyhelMont: nothing has changed with filters so please provide example links.

I've added a plugin for webmshare.com.

oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that my issue is only when adding a link through FolderWatch, because when is through the program UI (analyze text with links) the download link to the file is "generated" correctly, but not anymore if the link is processed by FolderWatch' addon, a few weeks ago it was filtered in correctly, now it simply doesn't add any file to the download queue, only shows the "Restore 1 filtered link" though it shouldn't be filtered out, since its a video file and even if I click on that button, it does nothing.

@DannyhelMont: can you provide a copy of the folderwatch/crawljob file and maybe export your used filters, then we can try to reproduce the issue

Sure!

I had to remove the .filter from "Non-Video.dlc.filter" AND change the .crawljob to .txt from " JDownloader.crawljob" files since the site doesn't allow those formats

[pspzockerscene]

Indeed I'm able to reproduce the issue with your .crawljob file!
EDIT

Also "Restore filtered links" doesn't do anything here.

@DannyhelMont:
Explanation: adding the link via crawljob, the first url/link is the crawljob file itself and this file does match the *non video* condition. because xy.crawljob is no video

Solution:
1.) add the condition *File - is - online* -> only check conditions for online checked links
or
2.) add the condition "Downloadurl - contains - http" -> only check condition on http and not file protocol

Oh! it worked, thank you!
but I gotta say... tried many different things, and this didn't even crossed my mind xD, welp, also strange that I didn't found any other thread issue facing something similar, since it doesn't appear to be a situation so uncommon to happen, so this one will also be useful for reference on the matter for others in the future. Thanks again. ^^

@DannyhelMont: Thanks for the feedback and you're welcome! Whenever you need help/got a question, just ask again

[pspzockerscene]

I have to say the logic is fine but from the users' perspective this is a little bit hard to understand though I have no idea how this could be improved.
