JDownloader 2
Build Date: Mon Sept 18 16:53:58 CEST 2023 (latest)
Java: Java SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_162(32bit/X86)
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Plugin: DeviantArt
Account is ok: Free account
Proxy: No proxy used
Log: I found a log file, but it is ~10 MB large and contains information about my DeviantArt account, so I'm not comfortable sharing it.

Issue: For many months now, I've been able to use JDownloader 2 to download images of any deviation I found on the site, whether they had a download button enabled or were only available to be viewed as a preview image. It's honestly easier than trying to right-click and save images with no download buttons. However, earlier today I tried loading the URLs of some such images into the latest version of JDownloader 2, and tried again just now. It seems that deviations with download buttons still work just fine, but loading the URLs of deviations with no download buttons into JDownloader 2 results in it displaying a folder called "Offline Files" with the URLs listed there. The file sizes of the images they're supposed to be finding are listed next to them, though, and seem to be accurate. When I try to download them, they each say, Size: Unknown, Status: X, Bytes Loaded: 0 B, 0/3 online. I tried inputting my login cookies again, but that didn't help. I tried checking for updates, but there were none. I tried restarting the program, but that didn't help, either. Is there some new problem with the DeviantArt plugin, or is it just me?

Links I tried that had the issue (likely not work safe, sorry):

Thank you for the fix. However, the plugin still behaves a little differently than it did previously. Before it started acting up, whenever I used it to download one of those images without a download button, it would download it at the full resolution and file size denoted in the "Image size" towards the bottom of the description section. Now, JDownloader downloads a much smaller version of the image than that. I don't know how it did that, and I don't know why it stopped.

This was due to a trick we discovered a while back.
This trick didn't work anymore thus I've disabled it.

I've created a ticket for this so we will look at this again but I'm unsure if it will ever be possible again since deviantart might have limited this ability to download such images in fullsize serverside.

However, items with official download button should still be downloaded "fullsize".

Ticket:


Another project was using that same trick so my guess is that this project is now also failing to download the "fullsize" versions of such items.
