Hi,

I have a big list of Archive.org links which I would like to download but every time I paste a link into Jdownloader it also grabs all other formats and other auto generated files. As example if I paste this link **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff** it adds .avi, .gif, .mp4 and .ogv but I only want the original file (.avi in this case) because the others were auto generated by Archive.org and have bad quality and are unnecessarily taking up space. https://i.imgur.com/J4PgYTg.png Is there any way to tell Jdownloader to only grab the best format? Like telling it to check if there is .avi instead of .mp4 or checking if there is .mp4 instead of .ogv
I checked the Archive.org plugin but unfortunately there are no options available.

Thank you in advance.

How do you tell that avi is always better than mp4?
avi is very old format/extension and normally mp4 should be modern/better quality.

I will add an option to include original files only

Because it was the original file. Archive.org does not auto generate .avi or .mkv files. If you upload .avi it will generate .gif, .mp4 and .ogv.

Such an option would be awesome, thank you very much!

Settings-Plugins. search for archive.org (will exist twice) and then enable prefer original
Wait for next plugin update

Thanks for the quick update unfortunately when I paste a link (**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff** for testing) it will only grab the _meta.sqlite and _meta.xml (it doesn't grab the _files.xml) files but doesn't grab the actual video. https://i.imgur.com/gJYiRqm.png
Trying it with the previous link (**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**) worked well except it didn't grab the .thumbs, .torrent and .xml files again https://i.imgur.com/sb8uq7o.png

Wait for next update and try again
I've added support for folder links (topkekguy example)
I dont see much sense in downloading .thumbs folder or the meta data files (_meta and _files). Why download .thumbs when you actual download the video?

Seems to work great with .mp4, .mp3 and .m4a files (topkekguy example) but I am having some trouble with .mkv (**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff** as example). It doesn't add the .mkv nor the .mp4

There also seems to be a problem with links that require you to log in to view them (**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff** as example). Even though I added my archive.org account to Jdownloader in the Account Manager it won't add the files to the linkgrabber.

Please send logins to support@jdownloader.org so I can check it

Issue is caused by *german Umlauts*. Will be working after next core update (any minute)

[Jiaz]

login view will be fixed with next plugin update

Awesome, seems to work perfectly now! Thank you very much!

Will donate some money as soon as I get a paysafecard :)

Edit:
Just found 2 potentially useful links about original and derivatived files on archive.org

**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
TL;DR
"You can view information about every file in this directory by viewing the file ending in _files.xml (in this example, popeye_taxi-turvey_files.xml). Each file in the item is listed here, along with whether the source is “original” (uploaded by the user), “derivative” (derived by archive.org), or “metadata” file."

**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

but I guess you already saw this.

Thanks again.

Plugin already makes use of _files.xml info to check original and deriviate

So all working now?

Yes, it's working great. Thank you very much
