[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
Ok, I'll have a look at this issue.

This happens when, for some reason, the file isn't actually deleted, but only removed from the dashboard; thus, adding it again, makes it collapse with the file existing into the destination folder. In this case, you may remove the remained file or you can temporary change download destination folder.

Hey found an issue where 480p videos are downloading for me but not playing sound. But will play sound for downloaded 270p-360p video. Tested on two devices and the result was the same.

In that case it should as to overwrite or something

[MENTION=4792098]xda_dentex[/MENTION] I sent you a token of my appreciation. I don't use this app as often as others, but when I do, I have no issues, and I love the options available. Thanks for the app and the excellent support you offer here!

Thank you very much for your support!

[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
Hello, thanks for the report.

Would be good to have the logcat showing what's going on when you have this issue. Please use the dedicated function into settings.

I'll checks ASAP if the problem is related to this video only.

Edit: don't worry for the logcat, it's reproducible. I'll see what happens with this video...

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] scandiun:
Another issue: sometimes when deleting a paused download it keeps being shown in the panel. Closing and reopening the app again and it's gone.
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
Ok now should be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] scandiun:
Another issue: with this link the video downloads very fast but the audio goes very slow. Is this a YTD issue or YouTube?
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
Well, this has been already discussed. It's the youtube server throttling the download speed based on certain parameters. It's not the app itself.

On their point of you it makes sense: viewing a video on the youtube site, you download and use the two streams at the same time; in order for the audio to stay in sync with the video, it doesn't need too much bandwidth (audio streams are way smaller than the corresponding video streams). So they are saving total bandwidth reducing every audio-only stream's download speed.

In YTD, would be useful to have multi-threaded download, in order to retrieve multiple part of the downloading file at the same time, maximising the total speed. But unfortunately ATM it's not possible.
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
While I was taking a look, it started working again. It was on youtube's side. A piece of web page code was missing but now it's already there. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
Done.

(New string added to the project)
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
It's because I store into the app's preferences the system's language found at installation time.

I'll fix this issue for the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] rebarwabbit:
Cool,I can test video downloaded here.
[Android Apps and Games] dakid1235:
Hey mate thanks for looking at this but the problem still exists. For 480p downloads. When you try to play them from the dashboard they won't launch but win I browse to the director they play without sound.
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
Please provide some video links. All the ones I tried were OK.
[Android Apps and Games] dakid1235:
Sorry was away for the weekend. Below are two links one works as expected and the other does not. When I download in 270p no issues even with the not working link. however when I download 480p clicking on the video does not launch it from the dashboard once complete and manually finding the file and playing in vlc or mx player results in there being no sound. Tested on two different devices. A phone and tablet and I am on the latest beta.

Not working - https://youtu.be/soP_lGZrlVY

Working as expected - https://youtu.be/v99OpXCrKEY
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
From what I can tell, the issue should be transient and doesn't depend on anything on our side. Unless I'm missing something. For me your link works OK.
[Android Apps and Games] dakid1235:
Thank you for your reply. I am also able to download like shown in your screenshot but the issue is that the sound then will not work when you play the video when launching it from the dashboard or from apps used to view videos. Hopefully as you say it is temporary.
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
Not exactly. This is the version with the audio working: it ends with the suffix "MUX". When your 480p download can't play in dashboard or when manually played it's mute, the file doesn't have this suffix, because the app stops before downloading the audio (and then muxing) since this audio stream can't be found (I suspect it's even missing from youtube, temporarily).
[Android Apps and Games] scandiun:
This is not correct. What happened was that he previously downloaded the 1080p version, and when trying the 480p noticed the archive already existed "The file already exists in this folder". So it stops muxing and there is only the video.

That happens because of two things: it doesn't overwrite if the file already exists and uses the same mux name for different resolutions.
[Android Apps and Games] scandiun:
Delete temporary files and clear any queue, it works.
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
Wow. Great finding. You helped me a lot...

...and although this last past was not very clear to me (but the 1st was), now it's FIXED. :cool: [to be seen in YTD v4.5.1]

Thanks again.

PS: What I'm thinking now is that we had two different situations leading to the same result (failed mux) although now it's only one: now we have only the case "missing audio streams from youtube". Fortunately it seems to be very rare and temporary.
[Android Apps and Games] scandiun:
To download the 480p with the audio if you have already the 1080p
[Android Apps and Games] scandiun:
Another issue: every once in a while, when I share a link from youtube, there just appear the links from the previous video, so I have to go back and share again then works. As said, happen only once in a while.
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
Ok.

If you can, please next time you experience this issue send me a logcat, so I can have a closer look.

Thank you, :)

[Android Apps and Games] scandiun:
You ask about logcat but your apps doesn't send everything it should so better improve this part. Experienced some of the issues and nothing went to logcat. Your app must be more verbose to logcat if you want good feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
[MENTION=1012949]scandium[/MENTION]

I didn't have time to look at this error. Anyway, about the logcat: surely it can be improved, as everything else, but I get the errors stack traces via a crash analytics tool. Not via the logcat; this is mostly oriented to the "usage pattern" than to log crashes. On a crash usually I have just its reference (if the error is handled) and the crash info go into Crashlytics.

About your error, looking at the screenshot (it says "invalid data"): probably there's something wrong with a database file (the one behind the dashboard entries).

Not sure what it is, but to fix this issue you have to empty the dashboard data from the YTD's dedicated setting OR via the device's system settings - applications section - look for YTD and clear all its data.

Then you will have an empty dashboard, but you can always reimport all your entries again.

If you have any problem, just ring a bell.

How change option convert to mp3 CBR... now i chouse CBR but mp3 out VBR :(
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
[MENTION=4715235]koko115[/MENTION]

Hi, not sure what you're trying to do:

If you're auto-converting video downloaded into mp3, there's the setting entry to change mp3 quality.

Note: (This is undocumented, but it works) -> The same setting will control the mp3 quality of the auto-encoded mp3 you find below videos into the format tab.

If you want to manually extract the audio and convert to mp3, you can choose your preferred quality from the drop-down list (a spinner) into the conversion dialog, from dashboard.

On the other hand, if you're saying that setting mp3s in CBR results anyway in VBR ones, I have to check this.

Last but not least: now we don't have any beta version on test. Please use latest stable v4.5.1.

bye.
[Android Apps and Games] nass06:
Hi,

Thanks for the app, I'm sorry but I don't find an answer, did the beta has ability to download in sd card for lollipop? The stable one don't have ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
Hello,

There's no beta available at the moment.

Latest version is 4.5.1.

If your ROM can't write on extSdCard, no, sorry. YTD doesn't have any workaround for the time being. But you should be able to use a certain reserved directory on the extSdCard anyway.

For more info: see my blog @ http://dentex.github.io/blog/2014-08-15/setting-downloads-destination-folder-in-ytd/
[Android Apps and Games] nass06:

[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
Hello,

I would like to submit a new beta.

There's nothing new in functions and such; I've just updated the theme to Material Design for devices running Lollipop. The new theme has not been backported, due to the PITA that is this stuff (support libs, Toolbars, etc) when you're out of time.

For the moment I'm attaching the apk only here on XDA, just to collect some initial feedback. Thus if you search for upgrades into YTD you will not find anything new.

Please let me know how it looks.

Bye!

Looks great. One question though, I select backup folder for dashboard and it doesnt backup. Am I missing something or is the bachup scheduled? Once I select the backup folder, as soon as i hit backup again it shows file but asks for backup location again????

UPDATE- figured out that you have to press download folder in top right for backup to proceed. A bit odd as the backup folder shows empty at the bottom although it contains several backups.
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
Hi,

I'm not sure I understand.

Anyway, to backup:

- click the "backup" slide-menu item

- click OK on the info dialog

- click OK on the backup filename

- into the file-chooser, long click the folder where you want to store the backup. (Note: here you won't see any file listed as they are filtered out. You only see the folder structure, because you need to choose a folder for backup, not a file.)

To restore:

- click the "restore" slide-menu item

- click OK on the info dialog

- into the file-chooser, find and click the desired .json backup to restore

- from this backup, only files that you have not moved or deleted will be restored in dashboard.

new BETA (n°4) for YTD v3.0

Hi everyone!

I'm posting the latest (and last one) BETA for YTD v3.0.

A lot of new features, bug fixes and stability improvements are present. Now I'm in a hurry. Start taking a look into the Dashboard's menu.

Any feedback is more than welcome!

One question....again! For some reason, v3 give me FC in SlimBean rom for Galaxy Note (both 4.2.2 and 4.3 version).

When I try to download some video, I choose resolution, but nothing happens, and when I try to open dashboard, I get FC message! On the other hand, v2.7 is working without any problem.

Any solution for this? Maybe you are already familiar with this?

Thank in advance!

Powered by Galaxy Note
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
1st of all try "Empty the Dashboard" into preferences, down into the "system" category.

If this doesn't work, try terminating the app and then clearing application data.

I think that sometimes application's data from different versions can cause those FC, but I've been unable to track down what it is.

Let me know!
[Android Apps and Games] No.12:
Tried that already before posting here, but no luck. Tried to clear cache and deleted user data also, but same problem. Like I said v2.7 works without any problem.

Powered by Galaxy Note
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
At this point I think you tried also a "clean" install (Complete uninstall of v2.7, then install of the beta).

Any chance to have a logcat?

If you are rooted:

1. Download Catlog – Logcat Reader! application

2. Launch it, click menu button on your device and press “Record”

3. Press OK in Record Log window

4. Open YTD and enable logging from preferences

5. Try to reproduce the issue

6. Wait for it and then and go back to Catlog

7. Press Menu button -> Stop Recording (the file name will appear on the top)

8. Click menu again -> Send or Save the log.

Yeah, I just added the Material theme. So, actually this version will suffer from the same (old and known) bugs.

I'm going to post YTD v4.6-beta-3

with just a couple of additions.

:)

v4.6 BETA 3 - Sep 17 2015
[x] material design for android versions > Lollipop
[x] remove option to embed video preview (now fullscreen only)
[x] correctly detect free space on memory storage for some devices [to be tested in this beta]
[x] handle the MP4 720p downloads for some very long videos, when file length can\'t be retrieved
[B][x] add option for MP3 "download" quality[/B]
[B][x] show correct file size for 480p and 1080[/B]

Please guys, give me some feedback, so I can push the stable v4.6:

In particular, would be great if any of you could say how the new theme actually looks on real Lollipop devices. I'm not sure everything is in place.

On my emulator, it seems kinda flat, especially on dialog windows.

Thanks!

Final note: As before, I'm attaching the apk only here on XDA. If you search for upgrades into YTD you will not find anything new.

[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
[MENTION=4715235]koko115[/MENTION] Please clarify this point: you said "when YouTube working" but I assume you're not referring to the official YouTube app, but when in YTD you launch the preview, right?
[Android Apps and Games] koko115:
Yes.
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
The video preview in YTD runs into a "VideoPreview", that is part of the android system, you just use it. So I don't know if what you suggest is possible. Anyway, the preview it's just for ... previewing the video, it's not supposed to be used as a background player (for this task many other apps exists).

Hello,

before posting the beta (or maybe I should say alpha... LoL !!!) regarding the multi-threaded downloads feature, I would like to independently test another thing that bothered me a lot: the new FFmpeg builds and the support (better: inclusion) of the 64bit CPU devices.

So, if you want to test the updated FFmpeg builds (nothing fancy, apart from the 64bit part of the story):

use this direct apk link: http://dentex.github.io/files/apk/beta/dentex.youtube.downloader_v4.7-beta-1.apk

or enable the "include beta updates" preference into YTD's settings.

Please see http://dentex.github.io/blog/2015-10-03/ytd-v4-dot-7-beta-1/ for more info

Bye!
[Android Apps and Games] KreNtal:
Tested latest beta and it works well for me, even if I don't have a 64b cpu. However why the notification that says "all multimedia conversions are completed" is unremovable? I don't know how to remove it from my statusbar
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
Thanks for the test.

Regarding this notification, it should be clearable via the notification bar button or swiping it away.
[Android Apps and Games] KreNtal:
Doesn't work, is unswipeable, like a persistent notification.
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
Definitely a device- or ROM-specific issue; it has been coded as non-persistent and indeed it is on my devices and on all emulators I tried.

What's your specs?
[Android Apps and Games] KreNtal:
Lg G2 on CloudyG2 3.3 (based on stock lg rom, lollipop 5.0.2) I tested it again and it's definitely persistent, it is the one that says "all media conversions completed" that appears only with 1080p or 480p. However not a big deal.

It's definitely a Rom problem, it goes away with the "remove all" button but not with the swipe.
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
Ok then, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] scandiun:
In that case the best thing is to report it to the rom developer, unless it's done on purpose.

Looks like I ran into bug in the newest beta... I shared a video from YouTube to ytdownloader that has an age restriction on it, and it errirrd out as an invalid link.

If you search YouTube for "evening in space" and select the first result, that'd the video that has the link error.

Maybe you can figure out what's up, and how to fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
[MENTION=2764415]Gareee[/MENTION] If the error code says "login_required" it's not a bug. Age restricted videos are not supported. Please read the release notes.

What I can do is making a better dialog box to state this more clear.
[Android Apps and Games] Gareee:
That might help... It's the first time I've ever run into it. Instead of an error message, maybe just change it to a popup that says " Age restricted videos not supported"?

Is there any potential workaround for this? (It's a music video with adult video, and I was going to grab the mp3 for my wife.)
[Android Apps and Games] xda_dentex:
Yeah I'll definitely change that dialog box.

Sorry, no intentions for support. Please search back this thread for more info. [emoji6]
