Yes i download _static Zeranoe FFmpeg build x64_ and tell JD the directory.
I then download a movie from putlocker -> unrestricturl.
During download the file is playable, working fine. After download the file is not playable.. only black screen in vlc

[pspzockerscene]

Well then check it via browser.
Note that downloading as file from putlocker via premiumize has nothing to do with either youtube or FFMPEG so why are you actually posting in this thread??

Is it used for conversion or it is used for downloading?

none of them. its for joining dash video(.mp4) + dash audio(.m4a) = one .mp4 file.

JDownloader2 keeps forgetting the path for ffmpeg.exe
From time to time (or every time it needs it maybe), it asks me the path to ffmpeg.
I tried with and without setting the "FFmpegSetup: Binary Path" in advanced settings and it acts the same.
How can I make it remember the path to ffmpeg.exe?

"Returns the best videos within your specified Resolution and Format selections above!" isn´t working for all videos. For HD-Videos: all available resolutions will be grabbed, anyway. It makes no difference if the box is checked or not. But it works for videos in smaller resolution.

Excamplelinks:

Works: **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
Works not: **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

Is this a known problem or did I do something wrong? Which boxes should be checked to get only the best avaliable video-resolution? I know, that better than 1080 isn´t possible, yet.

Btw I have the in the post above mentioned FFmpeg-problem, too.

Hello again,
Is it possible to set JDownloader2 so that it will download only the best video from Vimeo, YouTube and DailyMotion?
For example, if I add to LinkGrabber the Big Buck Bunny movie on DailyMotion:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
then the package will contain the following files:
Big Buck Bunny_H264-1280x720.mp4
Big Buck Bunny_H264-320x240.mp4
Big Buck Bunny_H264-512x384.mp4
Big Buck Bunny_H264-848x480.mp4
Big Buck Bunny_hds.mp4

How can I set JDownloader2 to add only "Big Buck Bunny_H264-1280x720.mp4" to the list, or, better, to add them all but to disable the other files?
Or, when I add it to Downloads, to know that it only has to download the best resolution video.

Thanks

It is not possible to grab all but to only start one but it is possible to always only grab the best resolution

Under Mac OS X, I select my ffmpeg and then ffmpeg setup window just comes back up after I click continue. I see mentions of ffmpeg.exe here. Is it validating on needing .exe when on the Mac it's just ffmpeg without the .exe?

Came across this youtube **External links are only visible to Support Staff**music video. The first kind that I tried all sort of downloaders and it just doesn't show up.

Wonder what kind of stream youtube used there.

Hello,

as many others I have the problem with JD and FFMPEG.

I just installed the last binaries on my MAC.
Now I need to tell JD where the binaries are.

How do I find the path on my Mac where the FFMPEG binaries are located?

Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you!

Thank you.
I disabled "Grab MP3", "Grab 3GS", "Grab FLV", "Grab WEBM", "Grab Subtitles", and that's a huge improvement !

However, in many cases, it is still grabbing more than one MP4 per link. Of course, I checked all resolutions: 144p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 520p, 720p, 1080p, and "Grab original" too. Some videos (the old ones) only have 144p and 240p. While the new videos have all resolutions, up to 1080p.
If I check only 1080p, then It won't grab anything for older videos.

For some videos, it works, grabbing only the best video, like for example
Anim prepa 2 - **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
But for others it doesn't work, grabbing 4 or more files, like for example this one:
A Fox Tale - **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

Is it possible to make it work in all cases?

Thanks

Strange one link finally showed up, I had cleared my link grabber before this just in case too, but all the other 2 dozen links i tried result in no links found by the grabber pop up message. One link finally popped up, maybe its being throttled, id on't know.

Ok I fixed it

I checked off "enable variants support" in plugins, but why would this not be default if the plugin doesn't work without it?

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

had 2 working links and one offline?

What does enable variants do anyways?

And it seems this change in behavior happened after todays patch. I was able to add links last night, then suddenly after patching today this happened, I guess the default should be variants checked off.

As of today's update December 11 2013, youtube is completely broken. Already after the updates from last Friday dec 6/Saturday dec 7 it stopped passing direct links and even those from FlashGot, so if I changed FlashGot to download in browser and than copied the download link, JD was able to recognize the links and add them. As of today's update JD is unable to recognize links from youtube and if one forces it to analyze the link extensively it finds the file, but without extension and name. I'm on a Mac.

JD is completely broken for youtube videos as of today's update December 11th 2013. It stopped recognizing links from FlashGot already last Friday/Saturday. Last Saturday FlashGot was broken on both Windows and Mac, today I tested only on a Mac, but JD is unable to simply recognize youtube links even if I feed them to it manually. Any youtube links, no need for for a specific sample.

[Lram32]

If you are using JD to decrypt the videos, at the plugins settings, enable the option: enable variants support?
Notice this thread is not the place to report problems related with the decryption of videos from youtube!

Youtube cannot be downloaded, again, there is nothing in the linkgrabber, starting this morning. Please help, thanks.

[Lram32]

Merged youtube threads... Please read the post #501 of this thread.

"Enable variant support" works, thanks a lot.

Yes, sort of, random types are missing, sometimes there is no 360/480p.

I'm sorry, but when I go into the youtube.com plugins setting, there isn't an option for enable variants support?

[Lram32]

@MrVideo are you using JD2? so, should be there.
After the last update seems is not needed enable such option.

Yes, after today's update Dec. 12 2013 video grabbing from youtube and flash on pages out of youtube has started working again including passing the links from FlashGot on a Mac. Thanks.

[MrVideo]

Yep, JD2. There are a lot of check boxes, but there isn't one for the variants support. Was it removed? How do I know that I even have the latest YouTube plugin?

I cannot download YT videos. Whatever I select comes up as being off line.

I'd include a log, but every time that I do Help->Create a Log, the available list does not include the time that I tried downloading a YT video. I do not know how the log creation is supposed to create that list, but it has never included the latest time. It is always several minutes, to several hours ago.

As an example, I just tried to do a YT download. The offline linkgrabber entry happened at 0755. Going to Help->Create a Log has the latest entry as "Between 12/10/13 4:22 PM and 12/12/13 1:15 AM". Needless to say, creating a log is useless as the needed time isn't even there. I do not know how other members are able to submit logs that contain the needed info.

I see there is another update. So, I just did a restart, which fetched the update. As the YT link is still in the clipboard, it tried again and still offline. The log has not changed, but it only goes as far as the point in time where the restart finished. The YT failure was a minute later.

[testtest12]

480p & 1080p works perfect in JD2beta for me.
i got FFMPEG exe file in JD2 directory

ffmpeg-20131210-git-0e575c2-win64-static.7z

@MrVideo the variants-checkbox is in the first line of the youtube-Plugin.

[MrVideo]

Oh good grief. I'm blind. But, in my defense, I was expecting it with all of the other checkbox options. Why is it separated from the rest of the options?

I did a test with the newly installed JD2 on the laptop and it too will not download YT videos. Note that the two videos I've tried to download have been vevo videos.

I won't be ale to do more testing of this issue until I get back. I'm leaving for a couple of weeks.

Basically a lot of the videos will add links, but there are missing versions. I only see 720/1080p versions of many videos. or the 480p/720p version

See posts 477 and 509.

Based upon my post (509), I don't see how anyone is able to provide logs.

For me, youtube is working fine with J-Downloader2. The only problem still is, that the best resolution will not be selected. It only works for the smalles resolution, not for HD or Original.

[Patr100]

Ok I have solved my previous problem with dash files not merging by downloading the latest version of ffmpeg, seems I had an outdated version.

However while I have YT set in JD2 to download the highest res it can find in MP4 format ONLY, since a recent update, as others have reported, it is now collecting links for all resolutions eg 144, 360, 480 etc which I don't need.

If a YT link video has the same name but different file size, why does YT now seem to think it is the same file and prompt me to skip or rename? How does JD define a different file?

It remains for me to check later if JD will "remember" the folder location of ffmpeg.exe in future downloads.

[travestree]

Hm thats strange because I'd love to get all the resolutions, for some reason it only adds the 2 highest resolutions into my link grabber list. I like to select resolution based on content to save on download time, not everything needs to be 1080p;)

Basically the youtube link grabber only ever adds 2 versions per link from youtube each time. I tried playing with turning on 144p or turning off 1080p 720p. It doesn't matter which ones I remove, it gets the two highest res it can.
