Just wanted to post an update, with the latest program update it will grab links from a channel URL, but it seems limited. I tried using this as example **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

And it only grabbed the latest 160 videos in linkgrabber, I tried a second time, same result. I guess this is an ongoing issue in the program? I'll test again next update.

Nice!

I didn't fully test it so for sure there is room for improvements.

@Lucretius0000
Sure that parameter still does something?
I googled it and the first result was a reddit post from two years ago.

@Xirix
I've forwarded this to jiaz.
If we can't fix it or the fix takes too long, please use the above mentioned "playlist workaround".

the program works like a charm now even the segmented download are good

i always cap my nightly quota on the 4g plan very good, i used a third program for quite some time, but now im back to this

Linkgrabber seems to not work for avc codec videos on youtube, can anyone else confirm? To see the codec of the video you right click the player and click stats for nerds

Just for your information, YouTube channel links changed a few days ago.

Example old link (still working): **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
Same link in new style: **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

[SMS]

It seems that JDownloader can currently crawl only the first 200 videos of a channel.

JD is not able to grab any YT links anymore
it just shows as offline

e.g.
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

I'm getting a "Too many requests" error with the "offline" status.
I saw this could mean a temporary or permanent ban by Youtube and I did before that download several complete playlists with hundreds of clips.
But if the ban is specific IP related why it's still the same error when I use a VPN?
And when I try to download a Youtube clip with an online site that offers that service I am successful in downloading with Jdownloader with my regular IP with a more direct link that this site gives me.
So is the problem with the format of the regular Youtube link?
I did send the log as instructed but I'm not sure who got it. Am I supposed to get an answer?

[pspzockerscene]

@CapH
YT also tries to detect applications and ban them based on IP and their unique distindtive marks such as User-Agent.
This is why other YT apps may still work when JD is "blocked".

I suppose it does exactly what it is supposed you:
Stop ppl from mass-downloading.

Thanks for answering so quickly but as I said when I use a VPN with a different IP I still can't download a single clip and JD2 does download from YT w/o a VPN if I give it the more direct link that I get from the online downloading site.
For example JD gives an error with "**External links are only visible to Support Staff**
but with the more direct link to the same clip which starts with"**External links are only visible to Support Staff**
JD2 is able to download it, so it's not an IP or ban issue. Is it?
What did you mean by "User Agent"? JD2 itself?

[pspzockerscene]

VPNs/IPs of those are often used by many ppl thus a lot of services are trying to block them anyways ...

Ok but I noted that I am able to download with JD2 from YT with a different format link. Does that not suggest that the problem is with JD2 and not a YT ban?

I gave an example above:
YT clip **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
is translated with this site: **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
to this URL:

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

The first regular YT lins is rejected, the second one accepted and downloaded by JD2.

[pspzockerscene]

Your 2nd URL is a direct video URL.
This will more or less skip all of our plugins - you're comparing eggs and bananas here

You can always use 3rd party applications to e.g. use as a workaround in case of GEO-blocks or plugin failures or also, to download streams from video websites for which JD does not have a plugin.
Example:
https://board.jdownloader.org/showthread.php?t=85042
... alternatively search our forum for "Video DownloadHelper".

-psp-

[CapH]

Thanks for the observation, the advice and the link
I do look for a YT download alternative if and until JD2 is able again.
Cheers.

Hi, having an issue where JD does not find any video, only .txt, .srt and .jpg when crawling this URL: **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

Other YT URLs seem to work fine, so that's odd.

//edit: after adding my YT account to JD, I do get a video download, but it's only the very last second of the stream.

//edit#2: and after closing+restarting JD, and re-crawling the URL, it once again goes back to not finding any video for download, only txt/srt/jpg.

Looks like the cause was on YT's side, not JDL.

Hallo miteinander!

Seit zwei Tagen habe ich (auch nach eine Neustart des PCs) das Problem, dass der JDownloader2 keine YouTube-Videos mehr erkennt und herunterlädt.

Leider bekomme ich nur die Fehlermeldung "Too Many Requests".

Woran kann das liegen und hat eventuell jemand Tipps?

Liebe Grüße
SuperParchita.

[pspzockerscene]

Yt Threads zusammengeführt.

@SuperParchita
YT erkennt JD manchmal.
IP wechseln / VPN deaktivieren und erneut versuchen oder später erneut versuchen.
Falls das Problem weiterhin besteht, ggf. temporär auf andere Tools ausweichen (z.B. youtube-dl).

Grüße, psp

When I get "Too many requests", getting a new IP (by briefly disconnecting the router) AND restarting JDownloader is necessary to fix it. Not only getting a new IP.

Why do youtube vidoes have a lower bitrate and smaller size when I download them with jd2 compared to y2mate.com ?

Example:
The Weeknd - Blinding Lights (imy2 Cover)
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

downloaded as mp4 in 1080p

with jd2: size is 50 mil bytes, bitrate of the video is 1849 kb/s
with y2mate.com: size is 68 mil bytes, video bitrate is 2591 kb/s

[az15]

Hi, thanks a lot for the program. It works very well for most of my download interests.

However, I have a problem with downloading some youtube videos in the available quality. Usually, I get the best available quality in my JDownloader downloads (2160p works as well...thanks!). But for some videos only 360p can be found (always exactly 360p and no other quality at all), although the videos are available in 720p/1080p on youtube.

I can't really make out any reason for it. On youtube the videos can be played normally in 1080p without problem. Other videos from the same users can be downloaded in higher quality (in exactly the quality they are available to watch on youtube).

And it isn't a problem in JDownloader only: When I try to download the videos via any other Youtube Downloader websites, I also only get the same 360p quality.


Here is an example:

Video 1
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
JoJo - Baby Its You
Video 2
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
JoJo - Good Thing
Video 3
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
JoJo - To Little To Late

3 concert videos from the same user, from the same concert, in the same quality (available: 144p, 240p, 360p, 480, 720p, 1080p). All 3 videos are watchable in 1080p on youtube without any problem. But when I copy the links into JDownloader (or any other downloader), the first 2 videos are only found in 360p. The 3rd video is found in 1080p (and in all other available quality versions as well).

It's no big problem. At least I get the videos in 360p. But it's a bit annoying as I always have to check whether the copied links were found the high quality, if I want to be sure.


Is the problem known? Is there anything I can try? Is it possible that it gets fixed anytime in future? Or will these particular videos stay impossible to download in their higher quality?

Thanks in advance for ideas!

Greetings,

I've been back reading for quite a bit and am just seeking clarification regarding the issue I'm having. I've just recently experienced the "Too Many Requests" error when trying to download youtube videos. I'm using this on macOS by the way. The first thing I tried was changing my IP but I continued to receive the error. The next thing I tried was to uninstall and clear all related files to JDownloader 2 then reinstall it fresh and try just one youtube link but I still got the "Too Many Requests" error. The final thing I tried was just to switch to my Windows PC and try to download there and it worked fine with no issues.

What I would like to ask clarification with is that is JDownloader2 sending information to Youtube that is letting it identify my Mac specifically and give it the "Too Many Requests" error? Or is there some other issue here? I ask because I can download just fine using JDownloader2 on my other computer which is in the same network having the same external IP.

Thanks in advance for any advice regarding this.

Quick Update:

I tried it on my other Mac and PC and the behaviour is the same. I get the same "Too Many Requests" error on the other Mac but it works fine on the other PC. Again, all these computers are under the same network with the same external IP running the latest version of JDownloader2. Thanks again in advance.

@SMS
No, alternatively you can also reset your existing YT URLs to force JD to "forget" that there is a limit (See context menu).

@pantau
YT is working just fine and it does find all available variants.
It's up to you to configure JD properly.
See Settings --> Plugins --> YT

@az15
Please read this:
https://board.jdownloader.org/showpo...postcount=3633

Your "Video 3" example e.g. is now downloadable in 1080p but 1 and 2 not (yet).
This will continue to happen until we're supporting the "MPD" format.


@Xenos
At the moment we haven't implemented any measures against detection which means this issue may continue to happen for some users/especially users who download a lot from YT.

I personally was NEVER able to reproduce this so far ...

-psp-

[Xenos]

@pspzockerscene
Thank you very much for the quick response. Is there any specific reason why I receive the "Too many requests" error only on my macOS computers and not on the Windows ones? Of particular note is that on my MacBook, it was the first time I have installed JDownloader2 on that machine just to test for this error. I have even tried it on my virtual machines. Thanks again!

Thanks! Then I'll just download in 360p, for the moment. At least it doesn't happen very often.

But I still don't understand why 2 of the 3 videos are in the "MPD" format and the 3rd is not (same day, same user, same video type). But okay...only youtube can answer that, I guess

Thanks, and have a nice day everyone!

[pantau]

@pspzockerscene

I think my youtube plugin settings are fine and all set to best quality.
Can you do me a favor and try to download that video as mp4 in the best possible quality with jd2 and let me know the file size or video bitrate of your download please?
I am very interested to solve this.

The Weeknd - Blinding Lights (imy2 Cover)

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

with jd2: my size is 50 mil bytes, bitrate of the video is 1849 kb/s
with y2mate.com: size is 68 mil bytes, video bitrate is 2591 kb/s

For many videos jd2 and y2mate create the same size but for some videos y2mate gets a higher video bitrate on my system.

Thanks, pantau

[pspzockerscene]

@Xenos
Sorry really no idea which criteria Google uses for this decision!

@az15
Yap only Google can tell you this
I think our supporter raztoki wrote a post going a bit deeper into this but I failed to find it now ... and it doesn't change the situation anyways^^

@pantau
Mine is also 50MiB in JD.
Please check the REAL quality via browser e.g. using developer tools / addons like "Video DownloadHelper" - your tool might just do placebo work ...

-psp-

[pantau]

@pspzockerscene

The mkv video seems to have a better quality than the mp4.
So maybe that y2mate.com website downloads the mkv video and saves it as an mp4 then.

Anyway thanks a lot for your time and tips.
:)

JD does return the same variant as best quality with default settings:
