@Inpsectah: Your youtube-dl is much different than mine. I get very stable average speed (about the same as in JDownloader).Your going up, then stalling then drop to bottom and going up again. Please use taskmanager speedgraph because it would have shown the real speed and not a calculation.Maybe youtube-dl restarts download when speed drops? Taskmanager would have shown this.
In the end, youtube-dl and JD took about the same time.
In your video youtube-dl is slighty faster finished and I guess it is because of restart of download on speed drop.
And that might be the only difference that youtube-dl restart on slow speed while JDownloader simply continues to download.

Thank you very much I have download files...
I don't know how that happen

Thank you

Why am I having connection problems when downloading music from YouTube? Here's what happened:

1. The download runs fine for 2 minutes.
2. The download speed drops suddenly to 0.
3. About 1 minute later, it times out and (successfully) resumes from where it stopped.
4. Repeat 1-3 until the download is finished.

I didn't have this problem last week. What could be causing it? I don't think it's bad weather causing it, because I didn't have this problem during the last winter storm. This happens with every YouTube download.

Lots of externalStop. Something stops Download. Maybe you've activated some scripts to autorestart on slow speed? Downloads do stop because either you or something(script, tool) does stop the download.

I get:
An Error Occured(Youtuber)
Try restarting this link (plugin out of date?)

The error happens after download finishes and "Converting" starts. The dash files are still there but the merge mp4 is never created.

@chiuchimu: could you please try to rename the file to something without special chars and try again? Log shows that the special (japanese?) chars case issues with ffmpeg

[chiuchimu]

Confirmed. Changing the name to English worked. Thank You.

@chiuchimu: thanks for the feedback, I will add auto handling for this as soon as I find free time

When I download 720p YouTube videos the metadata/attributes are never set.

Fields like "Contributing artists", "Year", etc are blank.

When I download 1080p videos or 480p videos the metadata is populated correctly.

Can this be fixed?

Thanks.

It's not yet supported for every stream type. I will finish this as soon as I find time

Is there a way to download the m4a audio with the lowest possible bitrate?
I'm downloading 48 files. For 2 of them the lowest available bitrate is 48kbps, for the others it is 96kbps.

The bitrate of the grabbed links is 192kbps.

I select all files and choose youtube.com -> change audio variant for 48 links, double click 48kbps (2/48). After that most files change their variant to ogg vorbis 64kbps or something like that (since 48kbps isn't available for them).

I think it would be better instead to set the variant to the closest m4a version, which is 96kbps. I think not many people would prefer ogg vorbis because it doesn't play properly in all players.

[Jiaz]

Can you please send me those/test links to support@jdownloader.org, then I will check and add better handling for this

Up until the last update I was able to Grab Complete playlists from youtube
Now it seems to only grab the first one and then the link grabber seems to go Idle then finishes.

The link is no real playlist but a mix list which is not yet supported

[Statter]

hmm odd seems like this may be the first time I have run into such as usually when the clicking on such that states playlist it has worked in the past for me but, then it has been a while also and have noticed also sometimes that the browser dosen't let me actually switch to the next one easily if I want to see one further down the list. I guess they must have made a change that I was thinking was a browser issue more than them creating a newer type of link list versus a play list.

Hope you all can get around to supporting this soon.

[Jiaz]

We will check support for this as soon as we find free time

Is it possible to somehow monitor the browser and download every youtube video that plays in it?

[Jiaz]

@daugth: we're currently working on new feature for our browser extension that can help with that (monitor the browser)

As far as I know at the moment account is not really required

@Patr100: there are working *workarounds*, so not required at the moment

You stated that YT accounts are now not required even for age restricted content but having removed my YT account from JD, while logged in to YT in browser, I now get a "file not found/sign in to confirm your age" in JD message
