As the subject says, I've used jdownloader for ages and it's worked perfectly. Since the last update, it works fine (linkcapcha working etc) but doesn't download. I press the play button at the top, it goes greyed out for a few seconds then comes back, but nothing downloads. I also updated java thinking it was that but to no avail.

Please post / upload the log.

the attach dialog says the log file is too large for the forums, so should I just copy and paste in here?

So as not to waste space I will paste the bits that don't say 'finest/finer' in the log.

I hope this has the answer, otherwise I need some direction uploading the log file which is 153Kb as a .txt file

Please, follow the instructions in "How to provide a complete and detailed log?"

Use Java update 21.
Try exit JD and run jdupdate.jar

yes do that

Thanks guys problem solved, running the jupdate.jar did the trick. Does that mean that the update that started all this didn't install properly or something?

Yes.
