Hi JD devs.

For me, the locaiton setting was being saved OK, but there was a problem at tha time of merging and the ffmpeg process failed (so then JD asked for path again for some reason)

Since last update, everything is working fine. Good job guys.

Kind regards.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT

O.O

Well, sorry, I am freaking it out. I had four videos stick because of that problem. Two of them downloaded and merged OK today, so I posted that.

Two minutes later while downloading the third one JD complained again about not knowing where ffmpeg was. This time it offered to download ffmpeg itself, so let's see where does it save it, and if this time everything works OK.

I'll give feedback.

youtube plugin grabs audio links only.
jd2 is updated, core 23887.
i reinstalled jd2 to solve the update/crash trouble.
i'm using jd2 on mac leopard
can anyone help me?

sample links:

It isn't my main connection as speedtest.net now still tests my speed at around the expected 5meg so something isn't right with JD.

I have solved the speed limit issue. For some reason , perhaps with the last update, as I never did it manually, the speed limit was reset to 10kb max in settings. As I say I never did this manually, I didn't know where to look!
Now am trying a YT download to see if it works.

ETA:
Seems to be working for my first link OK

The *quality* placeholder in the Youtube-plugin-naming-options is only using the resolution, i.e. "video (720p).mp4" and leaving out the codec-infos, i.e. "video (720p_H264-AAC).mp4", contrary to what is mentioned just above that option.

@Patr100 thanks for the feedback.
@thepoolhustlerman, @llz please provide screenshots of your settings.
@Derp please wait for dev's reply.

problem solved
it works perfectly when the variants are grouped by extension,
it gets just audio when grouped by media file and it doesn't get all the links when it doesn't group

[Lram32]

Great!!!
Thanks for the feedback

thank you for your help

Resetted config.

For me, grabber works OK.

But videos generally fail to download, most fo them.

They break connection about 80 or 90%, then go back to 50% or so.

It just finds no links now since the update. It worked just before I updated a few hours ago, but now no link adds from youtube, its just zero found. I tried looking at and setting the new plugin settings, apparently there are more drop down menus with format resolutions to check off, but it doesn't solve the issue.

Anyone else notice this?

^same problem as mine.

@Lram32 here's my Youtube settings screenshot

[travestree]

Ah ok cool, not just me.

Entire program seems to be buggy after the last update, right now i'm trapped unable to start stuff from link grabber pane, but my downloads are still going so i'll let it run till it finishes.

Hm looks like the patch they just released fixed it:)

Feedback:

Since yesterday updates, ffmpeg path saving works OK.

Since today updates, downloading works OK.

Really, lots of thanks for incredible work.

[Lram32]

@thepoolhustlerman
Please provide some example links, my log tool is totally broken, I can't check your log.
btw, before to post a new one, please make sure you have the latest updates, and check if youtube is working, today coalado made some changes.

[MrGonzo]

Feedback:

I did the new update today (1-20-14)
The DL still works but yesterday the DL speeds were flying.....now after update the speeds slow to a crawl of 150kb/s avg. Unlike yesterday I was getting 2MB/s avg DL speed??

.....And I havent changed a thing

[Lram32]

Increase the max. chunks per downloads.

[MrGonzo]

Ok....Whats the best setting 2-3?

Ive never had to do that for any other type of DL. Plus Ive heard that increasing the max chucks can slow it down...I'll give it a try.....I just hope doing this doesnt screw up my other DL speeds

[travestree]

Ok new problem, the new plugin now seems to put everything in separate packages with the name of the video, this is less convenient than the previous where it would be all under a single package titled "youtube video", that way i could add a bunch of videos and pick and choose qualities for each. The current situation is where i have to expand each package to choose which resolution i want for each file, i guess this works if you only download 1 resolution, but if you have limited bandwidth choosing what you want based on content matters more.

I guess "group variants by" should be the setting,but it doesn't work.

Its esp bad when adding a playlist because then you end up with a long string of packages to deal with in link grabber.

[Lram32]

@MrGonzo You can customize the chunks for youtube.

Enable the advanced setting: Youtube: Custom Chunk Value
And customize the chunks in the advanced setting: Youtube: Chunks Count

Not entirely sure how works the last advanced setting, because I have "15" as value, and JD2 opens "3" chunks. Will check tomorrow (Tuesday), maybe I have overloaded my internet connection.

EDIT:
The value is working fine, now I got "15" chunks.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@travestree the "group variants by" aplies for variants not for packages.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[MrVideo]

How does one config JD2 to only fetch 1080p videos? I just tried to fetch a video and it went after the whole range of what is available. It had errors on over half of them. It got the 720p version, but failed on the 1080p version.

I see from the above posting that I need to enable YouTube chunks. Will be doing another attempt after one of the current downloads completes.

UPDATE:

This is weird. I deleted the YouTube entry in the downloads section and had LinkGrabber go after the YouTube link again. What is weird is that LinkGrabber only queued up the three files needed for 1080p (video, audio, image).

YET ANOTHER UPDATE:

While the LinkGrabber can indeed grab entries from YT, for me they still will not download. Or at least the 1080p version cannot be fetched. The latest attempt to get the video and audio files met with an error. What the error is, is not known. It just says to reset and try again. BTW, I have the latest version: 23911

[MrGonzo]

thxs lram....i'll try doing those settings

Everything works fine now on the latest update core #23911. I can grab YT links on linkgrabber.

But as travestree says, the new plugin seems to put everything in separate packages. I also prefer them as before on just one single package where I can choose which files to DL.
Maybe add a group by hoster setting so all YT links are on one package.

Personally I find current behavior PERFECT.

Have you tried all the options at the YouTube plugin? There are plenty of them.

If indeed it doesn't fits your needs, you can tell which is the exact scenario (how many links are you grabbing at a time) and which is the exact links collection you want to get on the linkgrabber, so the dev can think about what is the minimum and most usable amount of new settigns to put on it.

Mainly I just would like an option that packages the links the same way we had them before, under a single "youtube video" package, to minimize the amount of clicking to expand packages to pick the right version for that content. Theres no way to automate this because its just a judgement call for each videos content.

Its especially important if you add a playlist worth of videos, because then you'll have a huge list of separate packages to dig through..

OK, that's the input. But which is the output you want? How many versions of each video are you going to download? I suppose just one. Which are your quality preferences?

[coalado]

You can customize the Packagenames now as well. So if you want to have all entries in one single Youtube Package, name the Package "Youtube".
If you want one package for each mediatype, name it *group*

JDownloader LinkGrabber is failing to locate most video links for two days now.
There are no flv 3gp video file links for YouTube.
Has anyone else noticed this problem?
I'm assuming that YouTube has just made changes to their system.
Is there going to be an update that fixes this problem?

Trying to download 128kbit aac of theese links:

Could not complete any one...

[Lram32]

Hi,

I checked your first link and couldn't reproduce it in my browser. The browser shows "an error has occurred, try later"

I guess this is the reason why you can't download it (and maybe the others).

[lucia]

It seems like the JD2 could download the first 2 MiB of the files but unable to finish them somehow...

[Lram32]

@lucia, please provide your log.

Greetings,

[travestree]

It seems like many links don't add? Or is it random? I find I have to keep watch on the linkgrabber because some links don't show up
**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**

a few recent failures to add

But thanks for adding the package name setting. makes it much less clutter in the linkgrabber.

[Lram32]

Works perfectly fine here, please provide your log.

ok, it just seems random which videos don't load in while others do. Sometimes like this one
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
only the srt loads into the grabber. Maybe it will show up in a few hours I don't know.

I think linkgrabber got a link added during the error report creation, and now its stuck in an endless loop. I'll send that error report later since its still downloading a few files.

most recent after that mess.

[raztoki]

@travestree

That link worked fine here

503 can be caused by google/youtube cache delivery systems. I had 503 issue with dash video on the audio component, didn't work for three days then eventually worked!
