That's not the cause We have a list of valid combinations of codec/container and mkv is currently only available for the other codecs currently only mp4 is offered as container

This video gets to 0.33% and then fails with a "YouTube Server Error."

@HydroLogic: have you tried to remove the link/restart JDownloader and add again? Can you please provide a log, see https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...d-session-logs and post logID here

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

And here is my log (only used the first link for the error):
26.01.22 12.56.04 <--> 26.01.22 13.02.33 jdlog://5634925302851/

I never did see a reply from another dev as @pspzockerscene suggested to me back in January. I tried the same links today. One of them (apologies, i cannot tell which is which due to the external link filter) is no longer available.
The other two download to a point, then give a 'plugin outdated' error. The download folder has a DASHAUDIO and DASHVIDEO file that match the time of the download.

The log below is for the following link:

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

13.07.22 11.23.33 <--> 13.07.22 11.27.59 jdlog://0741035302851/

Any help would be appreciated.

@Haidon: can you check if ffmpeg works for you?
can you start

D:\Program Files\JDownloader 2\tools\Windows\ffmpeg\x64\ffmpeg.exe

in cmd.exe ?
can you check those two binaries and if they do not work, try this https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...r-installation

[Haidon]

@Jiaz: That's fixed it! When I tried to run ffmpeg from the command prompt, it threw an error, basically saying the file was corrupt.

However, the link you gave me didn't quite fix it (or so it seemed). When I tried to do the update after removing the files, it continually rolled back and tried the update over and over. It was saying that ffpmeg was in use. As it turns out, leaving the command prompt window open that I'd used to test ffmpeg was keeping it open as a process, blocking the whole thing from working properly. Cancelling the update in the 'checking for updates' phase, then closing the command prompt window, and then reopening JDownloader fixed the remainder of the issue.

I appreciate the help!

I've tried removing the link and restarting JDownloader. Always stops at 0.33% for some reason.

@Haidon: Thanks for the feedback! Glad to know that I could be of help

Hi all

I've been using JDownloader very happily and successfully for a while now, but have come across a couple of instances where there is no 4K download option for a video (that definitely is on YouTube in 4K)

Is there something special or different about some videos or channels that prevents them being downloaded in the highest resolution? As an example, this video:

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

The highest resolution JDownloader offers me is 1920p, but it is a 4K video. All videos on the LTT channel seem to be the same, but videos on other channels from the same group (LMG) don't have the same problem.

(For example, these videos from yesterday on the TechLinked and TechQuickie channels: **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff** & **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff** - 2160p and 1440p are options)

If there's something I can do to get the 4K download I'd like to know, but I'd equally appreciate just knowing if it's not possible (and why) so that I can stop wondering about it:biggrin:

Thank you in advance for your help

Merged YT threads.

@Sonatine
Please wait for replies of other developers tomorrow.

....4k = 3840x1920@30, 1920p for the first link, the other has 4k = 3840x2160@30, 2160p
It's called aspect ratio ( wearethefirehouse.com/aspect-ratio-cheat-sheet ) do side by side of the videos and you'll see that the 1920p ones are smaller in hight In short: all good

@Sonatine
Rightclick in any youtube video in your browser -> Click on "Stats for nerds" (or similar) --> You will get more detailed playback information in the upper left corner of the currently playing video.

FFS. I'm so sorry, I completely brain-farted here (an object lesson in not posting at 3am when you can't sleep, though that doesn't excuse my first mistake on registering this as not 4K some months ago)

Yes, I know all about aspect ratio (though I appreciate that you'd doubt it), and I knew that LTT videos were uploaded in a wider than usual aspect ratio (Linus has even mentioned it on some of his videos), yet somehow I've contrived to forget it, and just completely spaced when I saw "1920p", with my brain apparently short-cutting conscious thought with a not-helpful "1920? That's a number I recognise, because FHD is 1920x1080, therefore this must be FHD, not UHD".

I feel like an idiot now, and I am very sorry to have wasted your time, but I appreciate you, @Jiaz, and you, @pspzockerscene, for taking the time to reply, and for not mocking me as you might.:)

Thank you again, and now perhaps an early night to get some of that sleep I'm so clearly lacking.

[zither]

please help, the link playlist have 363 video. and link grabber only take 81.
how to fix this?

[Jiaz]

@Sonatine: Thanks for your feedback. There is nothing to be sorry or feel like an idiot for! You just wondered about this legitimate question and we just answered

@zither: long term known issue. Please open playlist in browser and scroll down until all videos are listed, then select them all via mouse and copy to clipboard

[pspzockerscene]

@Sonatine
No worries
You might want to put the real/full resolution into your youtube filenames to make it easier to spot that in JD.
See Settings -> Plugins -> youtube.com -> Scroll down

I'm running JDownloader in docker, I'm trying to download some age restricted YouTube videos.

I'm trying to grab and paste the cookie information in place of the password, the same as I do for Google Drive.

I'm logging into YouTube and using EditThisCookie to grab the cookie data. When I paste it into the clipboard modal it appears to be causing the page to hang, I'm assuming due to the size of the data I'm trying to paste.

I'm not sure how I can paste in the data, I appreciate this isn't specifically a JDownloader issue but I thought I'd ask here.

[pspzockerscene]

Which browser addon did you use to export the cookies?
FlagCookies or EditThisCookie?
Either way: Try the one you haven't tried yet.

If it keeps failing:
Initiate a new youtube session in a new browser profile and try again with those cookies.

Grabbing the cookie information from logging in on a new private window worked. Thanks
