still having the same issue, sometimes it works, and then a few hours later it will stop detecting duplicates

@Regor:
@GeorgeCostanza:
the update is not live yet. the issue affects all links in list prior the update on 25th of february

[ZD1]

Can download the "age restricted" videos.

Says missing account, but I added a Youtube account in JD's user settings & it accepted it, thanks.

[Jiaz]

@ZD1: did you add account via cookie method? can you try again to remove/add it again

Hallo,

Ich hab versucht, eine Dokumentation bei YT runterzuladen und ich bekomme den Fehler "Error - dKZlKa2CAYA Sign in to confirm your age"

Bin daraufhin der Anleitung gefolgt mit Flag Cookies, hab einen Acc bei JD angelegt, und nach einloggen mit Nutzernamen + Cookie kopie als PW stand dann da "Unbekannter Fehler" und bei übrigen Downloadtraffic stand "Zeitweise deaktiviert"

Wie lös ich das?

[Jiaz]

@turalyon: Hast du mal

Wenn ja, dann bitte mal ein Debug Log. Einstellungen->Profieinstellungen->Log.debugmodeenabled aktivieren

Has anyone noted that now when videos attempt to download the audio portion the speeds drop to around 30kb/s whereas my speeds for downloading the video are at the standard 1.2mb/s?

Because of this I often get errors when JDownloader attempts to demux the audio and video and I have to re-download the video all over again.

[Jiaz]

@TheRenegadist: download speed is slower because yt limits bandwidth to actual required bitrate * about 1.5 factor (for faster playback speed). but the download speed has nothing to do with post processing muxing. that part happens after both (video and audio) are downloaded. Please provide logs of those errors, see https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...d-session-logs and post logID here

[TheRenegadist]

If the slow speeds are a YouTube issue why hasn't it been an issue before the update? Before the update my speeds were just fine, only after does the download drop to 30kb/s when downloading the audio portion.

The error just happened again, log here: 21.03.22 16.00.31 <--> 21.03.22 16.35.43 jdlog://6817925302851/

@TheRenegadist: there has been zero changes to yt since long time.
It heavily depends on the stream format that you are downloading (HLS, MPD, progressive mp4 or DASH) and also from the chosen resolution/quality.
As explained, yt limits bandwidth to about factor 1.5x to actual required bitrate (on some streaming formats).
You can increase speed by using more chunks/connections but this can also result in download issues if overused/stressed. Also yt maybe just started to roll out changes to the throttling again.

The issue you encounter is because ffmpeg reports errors in stream

C:\Users\......dashVideo: Invalid data found when processing input

You say you have to reset the link again to make it work, that's a sign that
a.) you may have hardware issues (eg memory with memtest86 or disk with smartdata check)
b.) the server you are downloading from may have a damaged file (doesn't matter for browser playback but ffmpeg will complain)

[TheRenegadist]

Quick question, once the 100+ playlist limit is fixed will that also naturally fix the issue with JDownloader not grabbing more than 500 videos? You said it was a memory issue so if you rule out JDownloader grabbing unnecessary things like thumbnails and all of that would ease on memory use because you're just grabbing videos in the playlist only?

[Shanishki]

When trying to download an MKV file from YouTube, the program JDownloader 2 (JDownloader 2 has been updated)
downloads two files

xxxxxx.dashVideo
xxxxxx.dashAudio

for example

D4aH-_16aCk_MKV_VP9_720P_30FPS_AAC_128KBIT_DASH_80933ca6764450efe84e36deb1e1f345.dashVideo
D4aH-_16aCk_MKV_VP9_720P_30FPS_AAC_128KBIT_DASH_80933ca6764450efe84e36deb1e1f345.dashAudio

then the files xxxxxx.dashVideo and xxxxxx.dashAudio
are not encoded into a single MKV file

JDownloader 2 writes the plugin is outdated
Please update the plugin mkv youtube!

(I know that you can download in mp4 format, but sometimes you need MKV)

[Jiaz]

@Shanishki: please provide a log, see https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...d-session-logs and post logID here. Please restart JDownloader, only download the file that causes the issue and after error, create the log.

Yes, most likely both issues are connected.

The memory issue I was talking about has nothing to do with JDownloader or the number of links. I was talking about possible real memory/hadware issues as the downloaded files do contain errors according to ffmpeg tool. and when a re-download of the file does help, then chances are high that it's either memory issue or other hardware (eg disk drive). That's why I asked you to check/test your hardware with mentioned tools

Same here:
Download from Youtube is around 30 kB/s.
Tested with different URLs on three different computers on two different internet providers.

It has worked fine last week, but since a certain point the issue appeared.

What I can do to help analyzing the issue?


A second issue is that bigger files are downloaded with a smaller size and then are exceed 100%.
Example:
- File size ~ 250 MB (correctly detected by LinkGrabber)
- When starting download the file size changes to ~8 MB
- Download goes beyond 100% and file continues to download (I've seen over 800%)
- Once finished the file has the correct size on HDD

[Jiaz]

@8GPMPY: there is nothing to analyze. The bandwith is limited to factor 1.5x of required bitrate. There has been no changes to plugin since months. It highly depends on a.) what streaming format is used and b.) max number of connections that are used for downloading

When video uses dash/hls, it is split into many small parts and JDownloader does estimate the final filesize. during the actual download
the filesize is estimated/calculated as the download progresses till finished

I just want to agree with the other posters that something has been wrong with youtube downloads ever since jdownloader started receiving all those multiple daily updates ~2 months ago (after having none for a long time).

One of two things happen nearly every time:

1) It downloads normally until around 98%, then it drops to 30k/s and takes a long time to finish and demux.

2) It downloads until 99.98%, then it gets a connection error with a 5 minute countdown. Once the five minutes pass, the file is properly received.

The "1.5x of bitrate" thing makes no sense, because this was never a problem before. I also tried yt-dlp and it grabs the video+audio within four seconds, while jdownloader takes 5-10 minutes to get anything now. I believe that should rule out ffmpeg being the issue. So unless youtube is actively blocking jdownloader, I do not know. I just did a fresh install of jdownloader a couple weeks ago also, due to the Windows Defender issue.

I created a log of the two videos that were downloading while I typed this. One video had the 30k/s issue and the other had the connection problem.

Nothing has changed. Feel free to check source, github.com/mirror/jdownloader

explained often enough bute sure I will explain once more. YT uses dash for streaming, split audio/video. the video bandwith is of course multiple times higher than audio bitrate and because of that, speed is much better.
the audio bitrate is about 128kb/s vbr which results in about 30 kb/s speed.

It's been that way since long time.

Thanks for the hint. I've just checked and yt-dlp uses different method to receive an unthrottled stream. Will check tomorrow

[GeorgeCostanza]

every time there's a new update JDownloader forgets what it downloaded from youtube

to the point where i've stopped updating

[Jiaz]

@GeorgeCostanza: I'm sorry but there has been no update since 9th march and the latest update was to fix the *duplicate detection* issue. There are no further reports about problem with that since then and als I cannot reproduce any issue. Updates are not causing the problem. And no updates won't make your problem go away. So it would be better of help if you could just report the bug and explain it
