Hi, I know this is a known bug but just in case it can help, I think it's related to YouTube itself.

I tried with 4KvideoDownloader and it can't download YouTube videos. They probably did an update…

EDIT: I feel like it's from youtube-dl, I tried with youtube-dl directly and I got the “Unable to extract uploader id” error.
I also tried with yt-dlp and it works fine

I just used yt-dlp command line for temp solution

yt-dlp is youtube-dl. The original youtube-dl discontinued development quite a while ago. yt-dlp is a fork of youtube-dl. yt-dlp just released a new nightly for 2025-04-23.

Kommt bei mir auch. Selbst wenn ich den youtube-Account im JD neu anlege (und dabei entweder über Flag-Cookies oder Cookie-Editor) die Cookies einfüge, bekomme ich als Meldung "Vorübergehend deaktiviert" - warum auch immer.

Das mit youtube Videos laden ist schon lange ein leidiges Problem...Hoffe das funktioniert bald wieder.

Same for all of us. As mentioned above JDTeam need to work on it, just give them a little time and they will have things working again.

[waxweazle2001]

Hier läuft der Download von Youtube Videos auch nicht. Ebenfalls die Meldung PlugIn Veraltet, über ClipGrab läuft der Download einwandfrei.
Ich vermute mal hier muss in den jDownloader die neue yt-dlp Version eingebunden werden.

YT is a special case where we got one thread for all reports & requests.

@Murxx
Hör auf ständig neue Threads zu erstellen und poste einfach in diesen.

@all
We are working on it.

Just fyi:
We get a lot of feedback that our YT plugin broke after a JD update or even because of it:
This is not the case.
Both YT and us are doing updates so freqently that chances of us doing an unrelated update and the YT plugin breaking are just very high.

We are working on it!

I can confirm this.It broke just before the update. The update came just minutes later, and I was hoping it would fix it, which it didn't.

Thank you so much for looking into that!

[perspicacia]

New Update fixes issue - Thank you for your hard work

[Regor]

Thanks very much!

[wppcproductions]

Thanks Pspzockerscene and Dev crew for the fix. working great now.....

Take care.

[ericwde]

Thanks for the great and fast work to the team! It's working again as usual.

[steve2038]

Thankyou very much again for the resolution

Problem ist bekannt und wir arbeiten dran.

Ein Fix für das Problem "Channel/Playlist Crawler funktioniert nicht oder gibt zu wenig Ergebnisse zurück" ist live.

[Chicken++]

Is there a way to determine if a playlist is sorted by "newest first" or not?


The reasons for why I'm asking should be fairly obvious: It's vastly more efficient to only check the first 50 videos of a playlist than to re-parse everything every time, especially if some of the lists have hundreds if not thousands of videos and all you want is to get the latest ones.

However for playlists that update at the bottom, this will of course fail.

Since I'm guessing Youtube's API won't allow JDownloader to "always sort by newest first" for other people's playlists, instead I'd like to re-organize the text file I have my list of playlist-URLs in into two groups: "updates at top" and "does NOT update at top" so I can at least minimize the time it takes to update my downloads each time.

Not sure what the quickest/best way would be to implement something like this in Jdownloader. An extra column in the Link Grabber maybe showing "playlist sorted by"? (This would allow you to sort the column to group lists that update at the top or bottom together.)
(Technically a playlist can be sorted by "manual" or "popularity", but really, the most relevant distinction is "newest first / NOT newest first".)



Alternatively, is there an ALREADY existing OTHER tool, other than Jdownloader, that does this?

I don't need to re-check each playlist every time I download from it, after all. Just check each new one I add, and maybe re-check the ones I already have from time to time. But it has to be an automated process that can check many playlists at once. (I don't just have a dozen or so playlists in my queue, it's like, 100+.)



________________________________________________________________



PS:

This next bit isn't a request nor a bug, but instead a little trick I've found quite useful I just wanted to point out to others, and I'm putting it here because it directly relates to this.

If you're like me and update an already existing directory of videos with "skip if file already exists", then I have an advice how to speed things up.

If you set Jdownloader to only get the last 10 videos for Youtube channels/playlists where you know it updates at the top, there's a way to easily determine which, if any of those channels/playlists has any more than 10 new videos compared to what you've already downloaded from them, and ONLY check for more than that for the channels that actually do have more.

1. You download those URLs like normal, with "Settings > Plugins > Channel/Playlist crawler max items limit" set to, say, 10.

2. Add them to the download queue, and let them download. There'll likely be a mix of "file already exists" and "Finished".

3. Highlight the packages you just added. Rightclick > Properties > Show download URLs -> Copy these to a file, let's call it "list ALL".

4. Now, with those packages still highlighted, Rightclick > Clean Up > Delete Links: Selected and Finished > Don't delete files, just remove them from Jdownloader list.

5. This will remove all newly downloaded videos from the download list, leaving only videos whose file already exists.

6. With those packages still highlighted, Rightclick > Properties > Show download URLs -> Copy these to a DIFFERENT file. Let's call this one "list ALREADY EXISTS".

7. Now you need a tool that allows you to "subtract lines of text 1 from text 2" - there's probably a website for this, I use a custom tool that's a bit of a personal "Swiss army knife" I can't share without a lot of heavy editing first - and then you simply subtract "list ALREADY EXISTS" from "list ALL".

8. You are now left with only the channel/playlist URLs for those that had ONLY new videos, no "already existing" ones.

Just re-parse these links with the crawler limit increased to 20, repeat with increasing limits until no new videos are found.

(This isn't fool-proof, of course, someone may upload a new video with the same name as one you already have from them, throwing this off, but still.)

Much faster than checking entire channels/playlists each time - though of course this only works for lists where you know it updates at the top. (Also, a channel changing their name might throw you off, but those will be more easy to spot this way too and then you just manually edit the folder name you already have.)




...So you can see why I'm asking "Is there a way to determine if a playlist is sorted by 'newest first' or not?"
