ID 22 is the non-dash stream and so with video muxed already.
DASH Streams (ID 140 in case of AAC, or ID 251 in case of Opus) are both 128 kbit only.

We consider more than the pure quality. e.g. compatibility. "best mainstream/HW Player compatible" would be a better name, but we have to keep JD simple and accessable. Mywomanwould not know what "best mainstream/HW Player compatible" means.

But "best quality" the user expects to get the best quality. The button is still a liar. Especially if I'm not an experienced user and want the best quality - because the button says so, I would be disappointed if its not that what actually happened.
If I wouldnt know about VP9 or in general about youtube knowledge I couldnt know that it actually doesnt pick the best quality.
And on the other hand there should be a checkmark which follows this job so that I dont have to edit the advanced config, just to make the checkmark do its job right.

Maybe implement 2 checkmarks:

best quality with best compatibility to players
best quality

something like this. If good naming is used it should be understandable by your woman too.

Currently it is really misleading. If I choose best quality I expect to get best quality. How could I this way trust jdownloader on other portals where I dont know its internals? I couldnt trust jdownloader in this case if it really downloads best quality or if it again downloads just the best hardware player spreaded format.

Thx. Seems like you have insight. Why do you know things like this?

By Downloading the video and checking the file, also much by learning myself.
tips for ID numbers:
If you make a rightclick on a video and choose stats for nerds you can see the used ID number for video and audio at current playback.
Or this helps for ID numbers too:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

The bitrate values are a bit strange on that page though. I dont know how they calculate it. So for checking bitrate,better download it and look it up with the program Mediainfo at textview.

I am downloading multiple 1gb+ videos at the same time out of hundreds in the download list but the disk is overloaded because they all complete at around the same time. The drive is unusable for opening any file while converting takes place and freeze the windows explorer. Can you put a option to queue convert/muxing to 1 at a time?

[Jiaz]

@minibox: will update plugin to run only 1 at a time

[De-M-oN]

@Jiaz : Would be nice if you could do the same for extracting rar files.

[minixbox]

I think there's a bug with the popup that shows up asking to send data to jdownloader when a youtube video is having problem downloading.

After that popup, which I select no, the download queue stops running. Same effect if the popup is ignored since I found a few times downloads stopped after I woke up. The videos that are currently being downloaded finish downloading, but no new downloads start even though there were still many links queued up. I used force download on the download list not the play/pause/stop icon, not sure if that makes any difference.

This will be active for new added links

ehh... this isn't at all what i was asking for. i want all variants to be available in the linkgrabber dropdown list but have 480p be the default selected variant. I thought it was always possible to disable the other variants in that list? this collections business is so overly complicated for my purposes.

[Matts76]

My Youtube video shows up in linkgrabber but it shows offline. I have to select the same variant again or another one then it shows up fine.

I will not write an extra CyanSlinky-JD-Version, so you will have to work with the powerfull collection feature.
But It's actually pretty simple:

1. Create a Collection that contains all Videos up to 480p. Select all Videos->Right Click ->add a link collection
   Spoiler:

   
   
   
2. Scroll down to the new collection-> right click ->edit dropdown entries. Choose ALL Videos -> right click ->Enable ->Save
   Spoiler:

   
3. Add a video. JD will add the 480p variant, but offer all other variants in the dropdown. This is what you want.
   Spoiler:

   
   
   
   

[coalado]

Matts67:
What video are you talking about?

@coalado i got it to work, thank you so much. I know you're not going to write some specific version just for me, i just had no idea how the collections worked and got kinda frustrated. Anyways thanks again for implementing what i wanted

I tried a previous Jdownloader version from March 31 build date and it was able to download at full HD 1080x1920 30.44 MB max file size.

works fine. Max available quality is 1080x1920 (1920p)

Also if I attempt to just rip audio it shows what I believe are strange file sizes.
3 min 192kbps m4a/aac says it will be 80mb, 128kbps m4a/aac is only 3mb. 64kbps mp3 jumps back up to 10mb.

Thank you

Filesizes may be strange when you want audio only. For some streams, Jd has to load the video, and demux the audio stream. Downloading the 480p variant worked in my tests

The bug started for this post about timestamps in video descriptions:

https://board.jdownloader.org/showpo...postcount=2149

Was closed

https://board.jdownloader.org/showpo...postcount=2153

But the issue still remains. Will this be resolved? Sorry if I missed something!

[coalado]

wanttohelp:
For me, the Timestamps look like this:

Jump to 0:16 **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
Jump to 0:18 **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

Hi,

when i download playlists from youtube but want them in another format, i have to change it for every single file.
How can i change the file format for all files of the same type (video, audio) at once?

[raztoki]

Don't think context menu system is designed to mass change.
The best approach would be to predefine how you want them within plugin settings
settings > plugins > youtube
vs changing them all via context menus.

If these issues get resolved, JD will save me even more time than it already has!

1. For some videos uploaded in the last few years where the maximum selectable resolution on Youtube is 360p, JD selects a bizarre "best quality" as default. Examples:

**External links are only visible to Support Staff**...
Upload date: February 16, 2015
JD incorrectly defaults to "352p 24fps" as "best quality" for this instead of 360 30fps.

**External links are only visible to Support Staff**...
Upload date: September 22, 2012
JD incorrectly defaults to "360p 25fps" as "best quality" for this instead of 360 30fps.

**External links are only visible to Support Staff**...
Upload date: April 15, 2015
JD correctly defaults to "360p 30fps" as "best quality" and I don't know why this one works but not the other two.

I haven't been able to replicate this on any really old videos but haven't tried much.



2. Timestamps in descriptions appear as "#" if the format is in "Hr:Min:Sec" and not just "Min:Sec". A good example is here:

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

The first timestamp, 9:42 is accurate in the description file JD produces. However, the rest, 1:22:40, 1:59:01, 3:03:13, and 3:41:17 all appear as "#". I suspect something such as 0:09:42 would also show up as "#".



3. I'm not able to customize the filename for Youtube Descriptions like I can for Video, Audio, Image, and Subtitle files.



4. The following variables do not work in the subtitle filename:
*H
*FPS

Using this naming option for both video name and subtitle filename:

(*H*p *FPS*fps)

Results in this:
Video: (720p 60fps)
Subs.: (p fps)

This is true of all Youtube videos at any framerate.

[Jiaz]

@wanttohelp: can you please send example links to support@jdownloader.org, they broke due the url removal in our board software

I've emailed support, thanks! Here are the video ids in the order they were originally listed in the post in case anyone is curious.

mrDK7B58FyE
pVXIfJdeKwM
Ng5yh4rg6Cs
yh9K5tzSoMc

It looks like JD just grabs the highest filesize video regardless of framerate.

[Jiaz]

@wanttohelp: thanks, I've assigned the ticket to coalado

Is the ticket for all 4 of the issues? If so, what's the ticket number? Thanks!

[coalado]

We answered to youreport support email. All issues are solved.

Strange issue on the following video:

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

Completely distorted and playing within a small window. Any suggestions?

[coalado]

This is wierd.
The video actually is like this, youtube just crops the middle part. That's why the quality is that bad in the webplayer - even it's a HQ video

The Video in Numbers:

Codec ID/Info                            : Advanced Video Coding
Duration                                 : 8mn 6s

i have a major NEW PROBLEM

many videolinks from youtube will not be grabbed by the linkgrabber, only half of the youtube links that i feed to jd2 will be seen in the link collector/link grabber

eg this link,( does it work for you?)
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

i tried some things, turn off hotspotshield etc software, reboot



ALSO (2nd problem):
jd2 crashes and/ or slows down very often if i feed it some larger channels from youtube (with hundreds videos), so i need to reboot often
this is going on for a year now, before that i can't recall such hassle

[coalado]

baracus: for both problems:
Please create a Log.
For MANY links, it might be a good ide to enable fast linkchecking in the youtube plugin settings.

[baracus]

how do i create a log ? there are alot of txt files in the log folder in the jd folder do you mean any of those txt files?

i noticed the problem is mostly with music stuff (copyrights tagged i guess) not so much with other stuff,

I have been using JDownloader 2 for a very long time.

When downloading large YouTube videos, I always increase "Max chunks per download" to 5 or 10. On 2gb YouTube videos, it makes the download go super fast on my 300mbps connection.

However, something must happened since June. Even if the "Max chunks perdownload" is set to 5, the download only uses 1 connection.

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing JDownloader2, but the problem still persists.

Does anyone else see this problem?

Thanks!

[Jiaz]

Youtube(Google) throttles/limits speed per connection to rate of video/audio bit rate. So after an initial burst of caching data, the speed will slow down and stay at a rate so the video takes about real time to download.

Is this a new restriction imposed by Google/YouTube? Prior to last month,
I was able to set "Max chunks" to at least 10 and make downloading large
YouTube go really, really fast. (in fact, that was one of the reasons I
upgraded my home internet speed from 50mbps to 300mbps)

[coalado]

potove if you increase chunks (up to 20), the speed should be fast.
However, there are some videos that use a different streaming type. Like HLS for Live Streams. If the best video is only available as a HLS stream, the speed will be slow - no matter what chunks you choose.

[baracus]

hi is there a way to setup the plugin settings for youtube to just show 480p videos in the link collector FOR ALL VIDEOLINKS that you feed it to?

[potove]

prior to June, if I crease the chunks up to 20, the "Open connections" on the bottom will show 20 connection. However, after June, the "Open connections" remains at "1" for all YouTube videos. The number of chunks(2 to 20) makes no difference.


This problem does not affect other hosts, such as Uploaded.net or Rapidgator.


I can duplicate this problem on all three of my computers(2 desktops and 1 laptop).

[Jiaz]

@potove: HLS streams can only be download chunk for chunk. This has never been different. Can you please provide example link and tell what format/qualitiy you try to fetch? You should not use HLS versions if others are available

[Jiaz]

@baracus: we will answer in your other thread

I can't download anything from YouTube. I copied the link: **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
Pasted it into linkgrabber. The LinkGrabber thinks for about 15 seconds, then the package name is set to
Error - d4t9Ys8wI6k null
and the link shown as unavailable
