For tiktok you have to wait for next updates to be released (planed for monday/tuesday) please see https://board.jdownloader.org/showpo...5&postcount=20

[Jiaz]

@Cheetah: log does not contain any crawling/plugin activity. Please create a new log, restart JDownloader, then try to add those links and then create log

[Cheetah]

Hey, you @Jiaz
Thanks for fixing tiktok
19.09.22 02.25.50 <--> 19.09.22 02.29.41 jdlog://1000311370661/

The problem is that the crawler doesn't crawl all accounts, it crawls some of them
In this log, two accounts were crawled Knowing that I put the five links
I don't know what happened
I deleted the program and reinstalled it and it didn't solve the problem
My greetings

[Cheetah]

This is another log
I crawled into some accounts
Tell me if you need more information

19.09.22 02.58.51 <--> 19.09.22 03.08.01 jdlog://2000311370661/

[Jiaz]

@Cheetah: I can see in log that it simply stops but I don't know yet why nor can I reproduce it.
Can you please check/reset your Settings->Plugins->instagram.com
but before doing so, can you please check Settings->Advanced Settings-> instagram
and check if any setting is not default (you will see reset button) or just provide a screenshot of it

Instagram links are working fine for me, but TikTok links have not been working for several days now.

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

I am running the latest JD version, which should be 2022-09-06.

[Jiaz]

@goldensun87: please read thread, https://board.jdownloader.org/showpo...96&postcount=3

[Jiaz]

@Cheetah: only grab x latest posts is set to 1, try -1

[Cheetah]

Sorry for the delay in replying
Jiaz I set it to -1 and solve the problem
Previously I put it on 1 or 10
crawls without problems but now no because I'm updating I don't want to crawl all profiles
I think there is a problem that needs to be fixed

[Jiaz]

@Cheetah: But why limit it to 1 or 10 if you want to crawl the profiles? this setting is to limit the number of crawled posts. Working fine here when I limit to 1 or 10. When you set to 1 then max 1 result will be crawled and in case it's already in Linkgrabber, nothing will happen.

[pspzockerscene]

@Jiaz
My good guess here is that Cheetah knows what he is doing but he has chosen the wrong wording in his last reply.
Probably he wants to crawl only new posts from profiles so in this case it would make sense to limit the number of results as it would drastically speed-up the crawl process though I'd still recommend setting that limit to 10 or so just in case a user is posting 2 or more new posts in a short time.
EDIT

I've marked this thread as solved.
Regarding tiktok, the following information applies:

So what is the ETA for the next core update? Still not able to grab any TikTok videos. Does anyone know of another downloader that can save TikTok videos without the watermark?

[Jiaz]

Since a couple of days, it seems I can't download IG content using JD, the reason being that JD reports a missing account. ("No valid account found!Instagram").

In reality I had been logged in all the time, but JD is having trouble verifying my account details and reports the following error:

org.appwork.storage.simplejson.ParserException: Illegal Char

Username and password contain only common letters and digits.

I ran a logfile where I tried to refresh my IG account (shown in colour yellow) and then added 7 IG links, which are shown as offline for lack of a valid account.

19.11.22 13.52.45 <--> 19.11.22 13.53.29 jdlog://7621311370661/

Thank you for any help that you may provide.

I had this same problem last month. Read the rest of this thread after my post linked here: https://board.jdownloader.org/showpo...5&postcount=11

Yeah I'm running into this same problem. It seems IG is cracking down more, because I just used to get booted out after using JD on a large profile and had to do a challenge to log back in. Now it's rejecting the login with that same error and you need to use the cookie login method. But, after two more times getting booted out, with the cookie method, they just deactivated my account without warning! I had to "verify" my account with a sign picture just to get it back!

I've had two accounts get limited to the cookie login method recently, now a third. I've just deactivated the JD login for now and am using the browser inspector manually, which is a pain, but I don't want to go through that verification nonsense again, or maybe risk losing the accounts entirely.

Thank you TexasDude ... logging in via the cookie method solved the issue for me!

@pragel
Try again using the following login method:

Next update will disable "normal" login completely and only allow cookie login as there is too much trouble with the "normal login" and Instagram can change the login process at any time, breaking the "normal login" method.

The cookie method worked for me - thanks!

Ok, but the cookie method still got my account deactivated, even after I limited the number of posts it would crawl, so it seems they're cracking down more.:unsure:

[pspzockerscene]

The cookie login method is just another login method it doesn't do anything against account bans.
If you want to learn more about possible measures against account bans please search our forum for other Instagram related threads as I've answered such question multiple times.

TL;DR: There are no reliable ways to prevent account bans as the IG detection alorithm is a black box

Ok thanks and yeah I get that. I was more just mentioning it as a word of caution to pragel, since the same thing happened to me.

[Jiaz]

@Nightwalker: better use a dedicated crawling/download account instead of your real one

[Nightwalker]

Thanks Jiaz. Yeah for public accounts that would work fine, but not for private ones where you need a real account to become a follower.

Once they are onto an account it is over, you have to move to another one and consider all future accounts disaposable, I've learned the hard way.

I can't confirm that.

The account I've used for a lot of tests and JDownloader development has survived so far although it got temporarily blocked multiple times.
