@wppcproductions: Settings->Plugins->Youtube->there you can change/disable codec/container...
Please know that changes will only affect new added link
In case this doesn't work for you, please provide example links
Playlist pagination is still broken and JDownloader unreliable to *see* the next pages.

[wppcproductions]

Thanks Jiaz..I've already done that already and some sneak by..I'll send a link when the next time this happens...

Thanks for letting me know about the 100 file issues is only related with the playlists...

Have a nice weekend......

When I download a YouTube channel with a large number of videos, they all end up in a folder in alphabetical order. I would like JD2 to number the videos as they appear in the channel - ie, prepend the number from 001 to xxx in the order they were originally uploaded, ideally oldest one being #1 and the newest being the highest number in the folder.

Is this possible? Or am I stuck with all videos being titled alphabetically - ie, the original video title.

:confused:

[Jiaz]

@Sac John:
See Settings->Plugins->youtube, scroll down and there you can customize filename scheme. Above you will see list of all available tags, eg

*PLAYLIST_POSITION*

Currently playlists are only supported from newest to oldest, that's how the playlist parser processes the list. Please know that due to a known but, only about 100 items of a playlist are processed

[Sac John]

Your advice worked perfectly and easily, Jiaz.

Thank you for the help.

By the way, the workaround for the issue regarding JD2 only processing 100 videos works like this: 1) Click on a YouTube channel name 2) On the channel page, click "videos" 3) On the videos page, click "play all" 4) At the top of the playlist of the entire channel, on the right side of the page, click the top title - ie, "uploads from [channel name]" 5) The playlist will show 100 videos, but when you scroll down to the very bottom, another 100 videos will appear. 100 videos will keep appearing every time you scroll to the bottom of the page, until all videos are shown on the page. This is even true for channels with many hundreds of videos. 6) After you've scrolled down as often as it takes to show all the videos in the channel, go to the bottom of the page and click and drag up until all videos are highlighted. 7) Assuming you have a browser plugin that lets you, right-click on "copy all selected videos". By default, Mac Firefox only lets you copy one link at a time, so you need an additional Firefox plugin to copy multiple links. I assume this is true for other browsers as well.


If you have the clipboard observer enabled in JD2, this will then read all videos in the channel into the LinkGrabber, not just 100.

Jdownloader won't recognize this video.

Merged YT threads.

please finally fix the issue that jd only grabs 100 videos of a youtube channel/playlist.

btw the workaround in windows works without additional plugins.

1. open the playlist/videotab completely.
2. mark all videos, best without touching other stuff of the webpage.
3. instead of rightclick + copy you hit ctrl + c .(which should actually be the same, but whatever.)
4. click process playlist and jd adds all the videos. (btw although the playlist has only 455 videos jd says it's analysing 1200+ links. lol.)


is there an easier way to download 18+ videos than this cookie odyssey coming?

No.
What's so hard about our cookie login method?

I tried downloading the plugin for Chrome myself a few times and keep getting the Failed "No file" error..

Could it be my Chrome version..Cant go any newer since this is a old computer..

How come with this issue..

This feature should be integrated into JD...

After posting this I end up finding a safe online YT downloader that will download 18-plus restricted videos with no issues.

Just Google "Online Youtube downloaders" you will find the links there since I dont want to break any forum rules here in posting the link here..

PS .. Looks like I've answered my own question .LOL... I have a feeling that my Chrome version is too old to run the cookie login plugin that the Dev team has here. .I tried FireFox and it said that I need to newer version FireFox to run the cookie login plugin..

Meantime JD2 is running great except for some MKV VP9 videos from Youtube that get by the linkgrabber.

Even with all the boxes are deselected for MKV file types in the Youtube plugin section in the JD2 settings as said are turned off for that file type and some sneak by..

Can you provide a log and example links for this? Please restart JDownloader(to have fresh log session) and then reproduce the issue

I'm sorry but even if we will add such feature in future into JDownloader Browser extension, most likely your browser will still be too old for the new extension to work

So it worked as expected when you retried? Can you still reproduce the issue?

Whenever a video is "age restricted" on YouTube, JDownloader gives me a red error message. My YouTube account is registered as an adult, and I am able to watch the videos, but JDownloader won't access them.

Hello,

I recently had to archive some things from YouTube, and I was frankly shocked to discover that nearly a year later, the Linkgrabber STILL will stop around 99 packages no matter what. Nearly a year of "it's in the process of being fixed". Many people use this program just for archiving YouTube videos. My offer still stands, I would be willing to contribute to a donation fund to get this going. "Maybe as a Christmas present , it will be fixed". -- 2020 paraphrased quote from one of the mods.

At the very least, I do feel as if we are entitled to a detailed update on why this has taken so long. I searched for "YouTube" in this forum and got "sorry no results" so at least I tried, I know there are probably other posts about this.

Again, no hate or ill will towards any of the hard working devs. But no matter what kind of a project you run, having such a serious bug exist for so long isn't ideal for optics, I'm sure you can agree. Again, I'm potentially willing to pay money at this point.

@Kurt L:
You have to add your yt account to JDownloader via cookie method, see https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...n-instructions

[Jiaz]

@jeffr: I'm working on it but I also got other work/support on my hands. I'll try to finally finish the work this year
