Please test your system memory with memtest86. also try to download to different drive.Also you should check/try a different ffmpeg version as you're using a different one than the one JDownloader does install

Also please know that the error seems to happen with av1 codec, so maybe in the past you've downloaded vp9 coded streams.

I understand that this is frustrating as it is not reproducible.
I think it is cause by my net.
if it was my memory I would see that with more file like rar files that I download or videos from other sites like vimeo.

the part about different ffmpeg I dont understand how can I change that.
do you mean my system-wide ffmpeg installed with my os package manager?
I installed jdownloaded a long time ago and dont know what version it has.

about the av1 , it is not only av1 if I remember correctly ( as net in my country, iran, is restricted and cant try now) vp9 also has this error.

but maybe I should disable av1 and see it works better with vp9?
as I said in my first report " I tested with vp9 too so I know it is not av1 only."

@rezad: maybe you can try without TOR Proxy and use VPN/different Proxy instead?
ignore my comment about ffmpeg, it's your own ffmpeg that you use for *probing/testing* the videos.
Have you checked if different max connection (1 or more) makes any difference?

Hi,

Is this YouTube issue still happening with other users (i.e. only being able to download videos in 720p, although the video is available on YT in 1080p, 1440p, 2160p...)?

A sample video :
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

Since my message in January, I'm still facing these issues.

Any thoughts on how to solve this?

Thanks a lot!

@heinerklingle: cannot reproduce, no such issue is known. please provide a new log.
please try to reset your plugin settings in Settings->Plugins->youtube.com and hit the reset button

[goldensun87]

Has anyone else here seen this rumor/news? If it comes to pass, will JD become unable to grab 2160p links on YT?

I read about it online a week ago? https: // news.slashdot.org/story/22/10/03/1810200/youtube-asks-some-users-to-purchase-a-premium-subscription-to-watch-in-4k
I assume it would work as it does now, but just would need your account info present.

I dont really have a vpn that I can use as a socks proxy on linux.
I am from iran and for security reasons internet vpn and tors are really slow (internet in general is good but vpn and instagram and whatsapp are blocked and slow)
so right now I cant really test with vpn.
I always thought youtube used something like hls (or better) and the downloading program could see which segment it was downloading like hlsdl command that shows the part numbers, but maybe I thought wrong.

and I use two and one connection and still get the errors.
I think I have to wait for internet vpns to get normal and then try then.

i

thank you for your answers.

@rezad: Maybe try a free proxy you can find in the www? right now it looks like proxy/setup issue as there would be much more reports if it was a JDownloader issue. Also it would not *go away* by retrying.

I don't know if yt-dlp is very different from jdownloader or if in muxing the final file it maybe fixes the issues but I am trying with that and it hasn't given me error yet.
thought when downloading via jdownloader if was not just ffmpeg errors but missing data in video that would show as corruption too.

will try bigger videos (takes times with 50KB/s speed of tor)

[Jiaz]

@rezad: I don't know if yt-dlp is also using ffmpeg but I guess so.But it won't be able to *fix* anything because if the streams are damaged in first place, then they are damaged. You are free to provide new log, maybe it contains any hints about this issue. Restart JDownloader, just download a single video and check if it contains issue.If so, please create a log, see https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...d-session-logs and post logID here.

Hello, can we find a topic like this but dedicated to Twitch ?

I don't understand why it's impossible to get a link from twitch like this one:

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

Ant Video Downloader can't too ?!

I use now a add-on for Firefox called twitchclipdownloader, who work trough a website to decode twich video link.

So if you have a topic about Twitch, thank you in advance to give me the link.

[Jiaz]

@jdboy6: twitch plugin is currently broken due to twitch api changes, please use forum search.
In meantime this method should work, see https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...aming-websites or check yt-dlp

thanks for the info. is there a difference in quality with the codecs? I notice that vp9 is half the size of h264.
Is there a way to setup the app when a higher resolution is available to use .mkv but still use .mp4 at 1080?

Browser often shows VP9 by default and is more modern codec, see

VP9 was long time not supported in MP4 container and thus at the moment only MKV is available. But why care? Any software player should be able to handle mkv but not every software/hardware player can handle vp9 in mp4

How do I setup .mkv correctly? when selecting that format it doesnt give the right resolution. If I want the max available resolution should I be using .mp4 or .mkv and what codec?

@M_Bison: Example link? pay attention to video orientation so upright orientation, 1280p might alread be highest resolution

I am just a bit confused with YouTube settings.
Other plugins I had an easier time with configuring.

[Jiaz]

@M_Bison: have you customized/changed Settings->Plugins->youtube.com ? try to hit the reset button, restart JDownloader and try again. jd succeeds to find highest resolution with default settings. Have you changed Settings->Advanced Settings->Youtube.maxvideoresolution, should be 4320p

Hi. I reset my settings and this is the results. I still dont see max quality with default settings

I'm sorry I don't see any problem on your screenshot or don't understand. It shows that by default the best 1920p is selected. Video max is 3840x1920, so 1920p is the best.
