Thanks, it worked. But the resolution downloaded by JD is very low (360p), while on YT it is 1080p. I haven't found any settings in JD that are limiting this.

Sorry for the late reply; I had struggling with sickness and irregular sleep in the past several weeks, and I couldn't find the time for such a session.

... That said, for some inexplicable reason, it appears that the problem has completely stopped as of a few days ago. I'm still in the process of verifying this by tracking down all the videos that I had to download via alternate methods, but I suspect that I'll find they're now all downloadable again, so it's probably safe to close this issue as "resolved via some unknown change in whatever third-party entity that was causing the problem in the first place".

[pspzockerscene]

Thanks for your feedback!

[Soporius]

The regex replace settings reset a few days ago. (Update, I assume.) No trouble, I re-customised.

But since then, package names aren't working at all. Filenames are working well.

[SorryForMyEN]

Thanks for your time wasted, pspzockerscene, but I managed to resolve it another way. If it fails again, I'll try your suggestion.

[Soporius]

Things seem to be working again, maybe it was just something on my end, sorry about that. The only hitch I notice now are periods in the user name. Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention it.

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

Some videos are starting to have more than 1 audio stream, example: PRSqFtUdj6E

Could you add support for this, or is already on the works?

Read the last 10 pages of this thread.

TL;DR
We know about this request but so far no one has worked on it.

[Gabarito]

The YouTube subtitle is being downloaded incorrectly.

I will try to explain below.

The subtitle pattern looks like this:

1
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:36,880
Free will is your ability to decide by yourself
what you do. It means that the future is an open

2
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:42,680
arena that you can shape with your actions. It’s
at the core of human relationships - it means

3
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:48,440
you are responsible for your actions, which
is the basis of our moral and legal systems.

But JDownloader is saving the subtitle file like this:

1
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:42,680
Free will is your ability to decide by yourself
what you do. It means that the future is an open

2
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:48,440
arena that you can shape with your actions. It’s
at the core of human relationships - it means

3
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:53,240
you are responsible for your actions, which
is the basis of our moral and legal systems.

Note that the 2nd timecode of subtitle 1 was replaced by what would be the 2nd timecode of subtitle 2.

And so on, until the end of the file.

In other words, the organization of times is all wrong, as we have subtitles that start before the end of the previous subtitle.

Using this online subtitle capture, I have the correct subtitle, with the right timecodes along all the file.

To better understand the problem, please, using JDownloader, download any video from Youtube, with subtitles.

After that, go to **External links are only visible to Support Staff**Downsub and download the same subtitle.

Compare them!

You'll see the mess with timecodes I explained above.


I would like to know if I'm missing something here...

Thanks.

Merged YT threads.

@Gabarito: Please provide example links.JDownloader downloads the files as they are so my best guess would be different subtitle formats in use by the other tool as YT offers different formats.

Thank you, Jiaz.

Here is an example:

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

As you can see, the right panel of the image attached is the right one, from DownSub site.
The left one was got with JDownloader.

2nd timecode of subtitle 1 was replaced by what would be the 2nd timecode of subtitle 2. It's wrong.

00:00:07,359 is in a wrong place.
I would be the 2nd timecode of subtitle 2.

00:00:09,320 is in a wrong place.
I would be the 2nd timecode of subtitle 3, not subtitle 2.


And so on, until the end of the file.

No.
You can either use normal forum attachments which only us mods can see or use file hosting services like mega.nz or workupload.com to upload files and post a link to them here.

Download the same subtitle using JDownloader.

We never provide ETAs, please re-read our update-FAQ:
https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...pdate-behavior

If you can't wait, use the dev build, see:
https://support.jdownloader.org/de/k...up-ide-eclipse

[minixbox]

Can you fix this very annoying behavior?

Sometimes connection problem or getting blocked by youtube results in every link being offline and the file size is reset to 0. At least give us a setting to turn this off.

I have 1700 links and it turned into 0/1700 online I have to recheck all the links and it is very slow. It took me hours to add 1700 links. One reason I chose JD2 gui is I can manage the disk space, needing to recheck all the links especially when it is so slow to see how much space I need to free up is very annoying. This same batch of 2000+ links initially is the 3rd time I have to recheck these links took over 2 days to do it and now I need to do it again.

been having the same issues as this user.
what I found out so far:
- If I'm logged out of youtube account, everything works fine. But age restricted videos can't be downloaded.
- If I'm logged into a youtube account, adding videos into linkgrabber works fine, shows correct file size etc. But if I then try to change resolution, it shows file offline. If I try to download any video it will show error : File not found.
- If I'm logged into a youtube account, some videos do download, but they'll be changed from 1080p 60fps to 360p 30fps

not sure what's causing this, happened around a week ago for me. Didn't change any internet setting whatsoever. Thanks.

@Gabarito: I'm sorry to say but JDownloader is right and DownSub is wrong and has faulty conversion.
Here is the original subtitle XML provided by yt

<text start="0.56" dur="6.799">are you free free to choose what you do</text>
<text start="3.719" dur="5.601">and make decisions or are you an NPC</text>
<text start="7.359" dur="4.36">unable to decide anything for</text>

Downsub doesn't support/handle "dur(ation)" but only handles "start" will be end of previous entry.

Thank you, Jiaz.

I'd love to download XML subtitle using browser and compare them to better understand what is happening.

Unfortunately, all kinds of urls I'm using are returning a blank page and I don't know why.
I tried:

Thanks again.

Originally Posted by Jiaz

I updated to the new version.

On LinkGrabber tab, rightclicking on subtitle, it shows properties->show download urls, but it has only the name of subtitle file, not the link for download.
But rightclick also has a Youtube option: youtube->change subtitle variants.
On Download tab, there is no longer Youtube option. On properties->show download urls, but it's the same, only the name of subtitle file.

In the past, I could do that, using those links from my previous post.
I don't know what happened that, nowadays, I got only a blank page instead.

I'd like to grab the XML file for that subtitle.
And to better understand what DownSub and JDownloader are doing for download the subtitle file.

Because, the way JD gives the file, the end timecode for each subtitle is AFTER the begin timecode of the following subtitle.
The most video players won't show them when this occurs.

This isn't fixed in the update.

The 7680p is selectable in settings / youtube plugin but the linkgrabber does not automatically select 7680p it still defaults to 3840p. You still have to manually change variant to get the higher resolution.

At the choose variant pop up, the image/video resolution says 09/09 and highest is 4320p even though 7680p is available in the list, is that causing it to not auto select the 7680p?

[Jiaz]

@minixbox: update does not alter settings for existing users, you have to reset Settings->Advanced Settings->Youtube.qualitysortidentifierorderresolution
and make sure you have Youtube.maxvideoresolution set to 7680p

Working fine here. Adding video -> rightclick -> properties -> show download urls, dialog opens, double click into url field and all known URLs will be shown. Only difference is that subtitles now provide a custom URL type with the actual download URL for the xml.

I have explained here https://board.jdownloader.org/showpo...postcount=6014 that the xml to srt is correct. the subtitles are overlapsing

What player do you use? VLC/Mplayer can playback those perfectly fine, even nearly 10 years ago. Maybe must enable a setting for this.

As I said, I updated to the last version.
But there is no custom URL type, just filename.srt. If double click on it, nothing happens.

I saw what you said below...

...and now I have a doubt: is it necessary to reset settings to get the update improvements?
What to do if I have some mods, like look and feel and Event Scripters?
Will I lose them?

Good that you'd suggested other player.
I used to use GomPlayer.
It ommits the subtitle that starts before the end of the last one.
When I play using VLC, all subtitles are shown.

Now, I understand: this resource, to start subtitle before the end of the previous one, is to show both and give some link between them.

To finish my thread about this issue, I'm wasting to much time trying to see the URL that allow to download the XML subtitle file, like you post before:

How did you get this?

All URLs I'm trying lead to a blank page.
And I've already test using different browsers, Firefox, Brave and Kiwi.

[Gabarito]

To @Jiaz.

No need to publish this post.
It's just to show screenshots of right clicks on SRT entries.
Please, see attached files.

[Jiaz]

@Gabarito: no need to reset anything or change anything.
can you please enlarge the window in width? looks like the name column is too large and the url column not visible.
you can also reset column widths in right top corner on the icon and reset there

Yessss!

You are right!
The columns were locked and just filename was visible.
Now, I can see and copy the "Download from" column.

But the question and the problem remains: I can't open that URL...
:confused:

Take a look on the attached image.

404. That’s an error.

The requested URL /api/timedtext?v=UebSfjmQNvs&ei=JxCIZtKUIuOK7OsPlKGP-AI&caps=asr&opi=112496729&xoaf=5&hl=en&ip=0.0.0.0&ipbits=0&expire=1720218263&sparams=ip,ipbits,expire,v,ei,caps,opi,xoaf&signature=24A6AB70362677501FFE603BF6FD06C8145E972D.A033F10CB369CAFCC2C47951CA4C8FC1C32664C0&key=yt8&kind=asr&lang=en
was not found on this server.
That’s all we know.

[Gabarito]

I think the problem was solved, despite my previous post.

I used an outdated URL.
Testing with a new one, it finally was shown.

How to edit the URL to keep just its permanent link?
Using like that, it won't be outdated ever.

[Jiaz]

@Gabarito: Thanks for the feedback!
Those URLs will expire and JDownloader will refresh those when you try to download. There is no way for permanent links.

[FrankieGTH]

Adding additional variants stopped working since a day or two.
Happening on Ubuntu 23.10 + Java 21
Steps to reproduce:
1. Downloaded the JDownloader.jar from main site and execute.
2. Once up to date add any yt video
3. Select option to Add additional variants
4. Select some video variants and click Add
5. No change in the linkgrabber
Expected result: selected variants should be added to the linkgrabber download list.

[Jiaz]

@FrankieGTH: thanks for the report. Will be fixed with next update, most likely by tomorrow

[minixbox]

There is a ridiculous bug in the app.

Now I have to find out which videos were affected and redownload a big portion of the videos.

Why would JD2 behave like this?????

Connectivity issue of any kind turns all youtube videos offline, fine that is expected.

But when you re-download the videos from the downloads tab, JD2 will automatically download a lower resolution for almost every video! Why?

Videos that has file names with the resolution embed like 2160p, the app automatic re-downloads a 2160p video as 1080p or 1440p and the downloaded file name reflects that.

Also affects videos that turned status to "file not found" most people would try to re-download it from the downloads tab but it downloads in lower resolution without notifying the user.

The only way to avoid this is put the file not found and offline links back into the linkgrabber.

Found multiple 1080p videos status changed to offline from temporary server issue or my connection problem, retry download from downloads tab and it downloads as 720p, why is the app changing the resolution without user input?? Those same videos can download as 1080p if I put them back in the linkgrabber and re-add them to the downloads tab.

[minixbox]

I can confirm JD2 automatically downloads a lower resolution as worse as 2 tiers lower if you restart a download after it failed for connection issue.

The app should not be doing this without user input, the resolution that the user selected should be locked. The original selected resolution is available if delete the broken link and add it back in. Sometimes it'll go even lower than 1 lower resolution tier, 4k to fhd instead of 4k to qhd.

7680p -> 2560p
4320p -> ?
3840p -> 2560p or 1920p
2160p -> 1440p or 1080p
1920p -> ?
1440p -> ?
1080p -> 720p

And there's a bug when crawling if it can't determine the file size. I put in a link to a 1920p video, it automatically selects 1080p with file size of 11 Mb. 1920p is available but it won't automatically select it, if I select it manually it shows up as unknown file size. When starting the download the file size changes from unknown to 19 Mb, same as the other famous app. You won't know the higher resolution of the video is available unless you manually check it in the linkgrabber. If it won't automatically select the best resolution, it would help a lot if the app has a way to indicate higher resolution is availale.

[goratnik]

There is a weird thing with subtitles going on. I have noticed variant selection missing, but at least something was selected, until I ran into this video:

**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
(YT v=9RnBAVmTy4A)

In GUI I can see automatically generated subtitles available and displayed, yet nothing shows up in JD, even as additional variants. I have verified if settings have not been altered silently, but subtitles are still checked in both Allowed Media Types and Variant Collections.

Please provide example links! I cannot reproduce the 1920p, selects 1080p thing. Sounds like aspect ratio and max resolution and/or settings. Please provide link, then I can check/try to reproduce and either fix or explain why/what to change in settings.

Missing filename change happens due same bug as above.
JDownloader auto changes variant if selected/wished variant no longer exists. You can change/disable this via Settings->Advanced Settings->Youtube.autoalternativesearchdepths
This feature was introduced because in some countries higher quality variants were listed/announced by yt, but not available at all and browser also auto chosen the next best variant.
I need logs and analyze those to find out why this handling erroneously takes place.
