viodarkblade · #1 14.02.2021, 22:54

Jdownloader is not downloading facebook videos in HD format, it's only able to download in the lowest quality. Anyone can help?

pspzockerscene · #2 15.02.2021, 15:20

Hi,
please use our boardsearch to find related threads.
Short summary:
1. Some videos cannot be downloaded in HD via JD although HD is aailable via website.
2. Without example URLs and a log there is no way we can help.

Hello, if video is 18+ blocked or just private like this:
**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**
jdownloader can't download hd version of this video even if I logged in.

HD versions of these video is available only in webm (I saw it in chrome network requests page) and without sound.

UPD: I can't even download non-private video in HD, for example:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

I have jDownloader core 43833, launcher 5199, appwork 3470, browser 43829, update module 955
build date Mon Feb 22 05:51:06 CET 2021

It has nothing todo with +18/private/public videos it is the type of streaming used here.
Ticket:

Do not expect a fix for this in the near future.
If you're lucky you can download the higher quality versions e.g. via this way.

pspzockerscene · #5 18.03.2021, 13:57

With the next update, JD should at least get up to 720p for some videos where it only downloaded lower resolutions before.

Thank you for the update

I still have a problem with good/best resolutions by facebook. For example:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
JD grabs only the version 640x360 und NOT the better resolution (854x480).
The same story with the other 10-15 facebook videos.

jdjon10 · #7 20.03.2021, 12:56

Hm... Hätte ich einen neuen Thread starten sollen, weil hier im Titel bereits "ERLEDIGT" steht?

pspzockerscene · #8 22.03.2021, 14:38

Nein dieser Thread ist ok.
Wie hier erklärt kann JD aktuell bei einigen Videos nicht die höchstmögliche Qualitätsstufe herunterladen.
Bitte keinen Bugfix in naher Zukunft erwarten.

Hello,

Here is an exemple : **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**

If I add it into JDownloader2, according to the logs, it downloads directly this URI without letting the choice in quality :

Code:

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

This URI actually corresponds to a 360p video although the video can be viewed with 1080p def. from a web browser.

Here is how we can manually get these higher quality streams :

In the html source of the page, search for the "script" element containing the word/parameter "dash_manifest" and extract its content.
(see attached file : 01-sourcepage.html)

Beautified element content in attached file : 02-script_element.js

Then extract the dash_manifest parameter value (between quotes). See attached file : 03-dash_manifest_raw.xml

For better human readability, follow these steps :
- Replace \x3C with <
- Replace \" with "
- Replace \n with nothing or linefeed
- Beautify xml code

Result :

Spoiler:

Code:

Different quality audio and video URI are now avalaible/usable in each "Representation" element. In this exemple, only 1 audio quality is avalaible as there are 6 for video (from 144p to 1080p).
Download video and audio separately then remux with ffmpeg.

So far, this procedure hasn't failed me yet.

Is it possible to automate this in JD ?

pspzockerscene · #10 31.03.2021, 13:29

@Slaash
In other threads we've already explained that that is split video/audio and we're unable to auto handle this at this moment.
Also you don't have to go your complicated way - you can simply use this way and let the linked addon detect the streams while playing -> Download via JD if you want -> Once done, use FFmpeg to merge the separated video- and audiofiles.

elvis_ef · #11 22.04.2021, 09:34

It is very interesting, but at the moment If I want to make DWHelper detect a FB video, DWhelper does not detect anything.

Please check this direct FB video link in a sample profile:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

I tried to follow this tutorial: https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...aming-websites (JD team tutorial)

And I use DWHelper generally if there is no other way. But this time it is weird.
But for example this link was detected without problems for me: **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

What is more, this file: **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff** was downloaded as an completely empty file. Can You check this as well please ? A few more files like this, from this sample profile were downloaded by me, and some of them (30%) are not readable. Even the file names are a bit different (JD adds a profile name in the file names for these bad files). So it is not for example (good file): "2020-03-03_100002618142821_2634714679959111.mp4" but (bad file): "2020-03-01_Leszek ¯±d³o_Leszek ¯±d³o_2630044917092754.mp4" (these are two different ID's but the convention is here important).

What can be wrong here ?

Jiaz · #12 22.04.2021, 10:19

For me the extension fails to detect anything on both links

As explained in our tutorial, that browser extension works for most of all websites but not for all!
Unfortunately it seems like it doesn't work for Facebook and/or for the type of streaming that FB is using.

This- and all of your other links is downloadable just fine via JD here.
I've test-downloaded your first two URLs and got the 720p quality which is the highest available for these individual videos according to the individual Facebook video pages.
...so there is no need to use any other software to download those.

Please keep in mind that the initial report of this thread was not that JD is never able to download HD/best quality - it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't!
This depends on the available streaming types of individual FB videos!

I'm unable to reproduce this.
That video is ~250MiB in size and is downloadable- and playable just fine here.
Also all filenames have the same naming scheme here and I'm unable to find any issue.
Please post a log if you can reproduce any of your described issues.

pspzockerscene · #14 22.04.2021, 17:04

Additional information:
Please make sure that the following setting is enabled:
Settings -> Plugins -> facebook.com -> Prefer HD (this is only applied for all URLs added AFTER changing that setting!, default=enabled!).

Your last link (the ~250MiB file) even get's downloaded in 1080p via JD here...

-psp-

elvis_ef · #15 22.04.2021, 18:53

Yes, I have enabled this option. I have no problem with HQ.

The problem with naming scheme was for few files/videos.
But I removed empty files, and redownloaded them. Now it works.

So JD works for FB, but the first issue was JD downloaded few files that were totally empty and with other naming scheme.

Moreover, I don't know why, videos are downloaded with max about 35KB/s ; /
Is this "ok" for FB videos here ?

Sometimes videos are downloading and then stop saying for example, that the file is currently unavailable or that the plugin is outdated. What's interesting is the fact that when I try to disable affected links and reenable them, downloading works again.

These wrongly, badly downloaded videos had also .tmp files with them on my disk, but in JD they disappeared as they were downloaded (?).

1. Check this:
https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...-downloadspeed
2. FB speed-limits some videos.
The only thing you can do in this case is to try to reset those and try again with a lot of chunks/connections e.g. 10:

elvis_ef · #18 23.04.2021, 15:06

Here are logs - from today and yesterday:

HTML Code:

23.04.21 14.51.50 <--> 23.04.21 14.51.44 jdlog://3201825302851/

Screenshot from downloading one of files:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff**

Unfortunately, as You see, the naming scheme is different for this one file (why this one ?) and it happens totally random.

The file was downloaded successfully but it's not readable at all - it is empty.
Look what JD did while downloading this file:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff**

So the file was downloaded - 100%, and it is not visible in JD. But on the disk there are two files. One is MP4 and the second one is a temporary file. The MP4 is empty. The temp file consists of good header from what I see, but can't say if it is a whole file that was downloaded.

The screenshot shows these files:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff**

Sincerely, I don't know why it happens, but it is not "by accident".
It happend at least three or four times as I wanted to download certain files from FB, from one channel/profile.

Jiaz · #19 23.04.2021, 16:45

could you please create a new log and only download files in question to keep log short and easy
also please link the screenshots again (they got *eaten* by forum)
