Hello Jiaz,

thanks for your fast replay.

How do I differentiate between a "playlist" and a "mix list"? I did the same in the past, o.k. this might be some time ago, however it worked then just by copying the link shown in the browser.

A mix visually looks a bit different and it contains an infinite number of items.
A mix also doesn't have an author as it is auto-generated by youtube.

Just as example I will copy a link out of YT underneath. Accodording to what you said this seems to be a "Mix".

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

Am I correct on that?

As this is the way I handled it in the past, just copied what was shown in the link, where do I get the "Playlist" from. As mentiond JDownloader mentions that this what I copied is a "Playlist".

Appreciate your help

1. Yes, your URL leads to a mix - screenshot:

2. As Jiaz tried to explain above - mixes are not supported by JD!
At this moment, JD is mistakenly detecting mixes as playlists and then fails.
The ticket which Jiaz linked is about fixing this and not even asking users whenever users try to download mixes.
You can not "convert" mixes to playlists!

My workaround suggestion if you want to download items of mixes:
Add the videos you want to a custom public playlist, then add this playlist to JD.

Hi developers,

I'm using many YT channels with cooking recipes. And I like to archive these with JDownloader.

In the Description there are in many cases important information - measurements, etc. . So I have to cut-and-paste this info by hand.

It would be very helpfull, if I could check-box in the plugin that I want to save the descriptive text beside of the video. Same name as the video, but with HTML oder TXT as extension.

thank you

JD already grabs the description as .txt file by default.
In case you have disabled this, see Settings -> Plugins -> YT -> Typ -> Enable "Description"

Can Jdownloader 2 download video files encoded with AV1 codec from Youtube?

@tafreire: yes, but the used ffmpeg version has to support it. Then you should be able (ffmpeg support + video support) to change variant via rightclick context menu to AV1.

According to this page, JDownloader was able to download live streaming videos (of indefinite length of time) until around 2015:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

Is this true?
If yes why is this so?

[Jiaz]

@plaintext: JDownloader never officially supported this. My guess is that streaming is different now than back then. "never officially supported" means it may work but also may not work

[emsef]

i have jDownloader set to list mp4

[Jiaz]

has nothing to do with title, server issues with requested audio codec and auto switch to different one fails.

[emsef]

Good to know!

Sorry for my wrong assumption

[Jiaz]

Nothing to be sorry for

These are two links of the same one channel.
If I choose the first one, all links are being grabbed.
If I choose the second link, only first 100 links I am getting.

I'm currently encountering the same limit, while playlists/channels with >100 items weren't a problem a few weeks ago, even with the Windows client.

Can you describe the difference between the two links you posted? (Links are only visible for staff and yourself) That could be very helpful as long as the issue itself isn't taken care of! thanks

I have tried to download whole YouTube channels but once the link grabber goes through the first 100 videos on the channel is just stops recognizing videos. This is the same for YT playlists. Is this something on YouTube's end or is there a setting I don't have right? What can I do?

note: (re-post) I accidentally posted this in the one not for JD2.

[davidr17]

I have a very strange problem with the Youtube plugin for at least roughly the last 2 months.
I put a link into my clipboard and JD always selects the 720p although a 1080p is available. If I choose the 1080p manually again from the dropdown, JD reverts back to the 720p version.

I've tested several online converters, all grabbed the 720p also. Only this website correctly downloads the 1080p version:
//youtube-mp4.download/en/the-online-converter
(not allowed to post a link, but it may help)

I have proved and double checked, the website really grabs the 1080p, but no one else does it nor does JD. How is that possible? And can it be solved that JD grabs the 1080p too, as it is obviously available and will be served by Youtube?

To make it clear, this happens randomly on older videos. New videos will be downloaded as 1080p, but I can't tell when and why.

Thanks!

JDownloader seems to crawl only the first 100 videos in playlists that have more than 100 videos. Here's an example playlist:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

When I crawl the remaining videos one by one, it works.

@eMuse/Doses13/JDmurphy
YT has deployed larger changes in playlist pagination and requires some larger changes to plugin. JD is currently only to process the "first page". Unsure when/if we can support this because they send lots of meta/browser data and also seem to fingerprinting those data

[Jiaz]

@davidr17:
Yt uses different streaming formats and also uses MPD which is not yet supported and thus those variants are not available yet
Please provide example link

Some videos have official subtitles but also additionally automatically generated subtitles (Speech2Text, ASR) in the same language. Example video: **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

Currently the crawler prefers automatically generated subtitles. But the official ones are better. How can I set it to prefer the official ones? Or better: How to just download ALL available subtitles?

[pspzockerscene]

Currently not possible.
The current behavior can be considered as a bug.

To complete this "workaround":
If you want to additionally auto-filter the subtitles that now get added but you don't need, you can do it like THIS (yes I know, german instrctions --> Use Google Translate ).

I'm trying to download a playlist, but when I select for it to start, it just doesn't do anything. It's not loading, as I left it for an hour and a half and didn't get a single item in my LinkGrabber.
Playlist Link: **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

What error? What happens? Have you hit the start/play button?

no error. I click for it to process the playlist, and... nothing happens. Waited a couple of hours... still nothing, so I don't think it's loading...

[Jiaz]

Does it change to stop? What are the status of the packages? at least some error must be shown. maybe screenshot?
