Last night I finally got all the downloads done. The left over balance of 1300 of 4300 videos.. Yes the shadow banning everything above 360p is the game they are playing. Total shadow ban if overload and flood their servers out with too many downloads running.,. I hope this info helps others on here since it has nothing to do with any problems with JD2. I have to learn to back off and give it a break. Also my new fiber IP system which I love is too fast for them at YT. Take care......

@wppcproductions: Thanks for sharing your experience!

By default it chooses AV1, which I have no hardware acceleration for so 4K video playback is very bad.

I know I can deselect AV1 formats in the plugin, but I'd rather change what format is prioritized so that I don't have to remember why it's missing when I eventually get AV1 compatible hardware. Did I overlook something in the plugin settings?

[Jiaz]

@Noodler128: You can either disable AV1 completely in Settings->Plugins->youtube
or lower it's priority in Settings->Advanced Settings->Youtube.qualitysortidentifierordervideocodec and place "AV1" entry at latter position. Please know that higher resolutions are only available in VP9 and/or AV1, not in H264.

Thank you.

@Noodler128: you're welcome

When I opened JDownloader today, I couldn't download YouTube videos at all, although for some reason the text file and ASR subtitles were being fetched. I check the plugin to see if there's any update that broke some settings, but although it's present in the drop-down list, selecting it only gives a blank page instead of showing all the settings.

Did something happen in the past several hours while I was asleep that broke the plugin?

[john11]

Same issue for me, the crawler does not find video files

[scenic]

Hey,

can you guys check out this video link from MDR?

For some reason, JDownloader can't find any video there.
I even tried installing JDownloader fresh on a second system to rule out any config issues,
but no matter what I try, it just doesn’t detect any video.

[DubioserK]

Same issue for me as well, the crawler does not find video files

[Mara]

Same here. No more video and audio files found under YT links. 😐

[wppcproductions]

They are at it again. Looks like YT playing games again. No links showing up in the Linkgrabber.

Using cookies or without.

[enjikari]

Same for me. Linkgrabber LOOKS like it does something, but no videos showing up for download.

I'm beginning my patient waiting for the JD2 fixes to come. Thanks in advance!!

[wppcproductions]

I had to quickly download some videos before they may get pulled so I used SSVID Youtube downloader as its working at the moment but its only downloading 360p at the moment as I just downloaded 4 videos with it.

[weared3d53]

Hey, just chiming in to mention - I haven't tried to dig into it myself, but whatever IDM 6.42 does still works.

Same issue here. The crawler does not find video files. I hope this isn't long-term like last time. I just used it yesterday without an issue.

[izofox]

The same happened to me.
After the last update on 2025-07-09 it doesn't see any video/audio streams, but see subtitles.
Before updated it was downloading videos slowly, but it worked.
yt-dlp works ok, but not JD.

Thanks!

[solrage]

Same issue here with videos not showing up in Linkgrabber.

[Skeeve]

Ich habe mich neu angemeldet, also ein frisches Security Ciikie hinterlegt.

Trotzdem werden folgende Links gar nicht erst zur Download Liste hinzugefügt:

Bitte schließen.

Habe mich nocheinmal angemeldet und das neue Cookie eingetragen und nun klappt es.

[Exellis]

Same issue for me, the "shorts" videos are detected by the linkgrabber though but can't be downloaded... :/

[goratnik]

To add to the users above, the only item missing from crawl is video (likely audio as well, if downloaded separately), everything else is available. The problem began to appear at around 2025-07-08 18:00T00:00, several hours after the last update AND after a successful "full set" download, so update did not affect things in my opinion.

Edit: fooling around, I have checked status of packages added several weeks ago. Videos missing, everything else available, so it looks like a big move underneath.

Merged YT threads.

We are aware of the problems and we will be looking into fixing them as soon as we find the time.
Please be patient.
Alternative solutions to using JDownloader can be found within this thread or by doing a websearch (keyword "yt-dlp").

[Jiaz]

We're looking into it

[my5tyfixx]

hey!!

da ich den jdownloader wirklich sehr regelmäßig zum dl von yt vids nutze ist mir gerade aufgefallen das die anscheinend massive veränderungen vorgenommen haben..

bisher war es eigentlich immer so:
wenn ich die adresszeile in jdown kopiert habe habe hatte ich immer zwischen 4-5 dateien die zum dl verfügbar waren. von diesen habe ich dann immer nur das einzelne video zum dl in die liste rein geschmissen.
wenn es dann mal nicht funktionierte dauerte es vl 1-3 tage maximum bis es wieder problemlos möglich war und der jdownloader angepasst wurde.

seit heute ist es allerdings gar nicht mehr möglich eine videodatei zum dl auszuwählen. sie fehlt einfach komplett und es sind nur 3 dateien auswählbar...also so war es noch nie vorher gewesen!!

seltsam. weis jmd genaueres?? danke & gruß my5ty

p.s. also über die sufu hab ich eben auch nichts dazu gefunden

I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 with Firefox. The snap install won't work for me. It starts jumping quickly back & forth between monitors & I have to be fast to even click to exit. I installed with Flatpak & it's been working fine for several months.

It didn't used to matter if YouTube was logged in. Starting yesterday if I wasn't, all I would get was srt, jpg, & txt links. Now I have to keep a private window open, reload, & copy cookies all over again. Each time I get a warning to do exactly what I just did or the cookies will quickly expire. If I copy cookies from a regular window, YouTube gets disabled for an hour.

What changed that I have to be logged in to get video & audio links? Been working fine with expired for as long as I've been using Jdownloader unless it's an adult link. Don't bother asking me to provide some sample links. It's happening on all of them. Is there any extension other than Flag Cookies that might work better?

Just checked & my Windows 11 machine is doing the same thing. Used to get video & audio files even with YouTube unchecked. Both are updated to the latest versions. Also same thing If I log in from a private window. Expires after just a few minutes.

That package is not developed by us.
Please report this to the developer of the snap package.

Nothing, this depends on various factors.
Please read the last few pages of this youtube thread in which your post was merged into.

YT video vdownloads not working at this moment is a known issue.
Please read the last few pages of this thread and kindly wait for a fix from our side.

About the "cookies expire too early" problem:
First please wait until the video download problems have been fixed.
Once that is done, feel free to try again.
Also try using other browsers and other cookie export browser addons, see:
https://support.jdownloader.org/know...n-instructions
If nothing helps to make the cookies last longer, feel free to report this problem again.
