hey guys,

first alpha for v0.9 is here

download: https://www41.zippyshare.com/v/r5sXzQtk/file.html (xda uploader seems to be broken)

this brings numerous ui tweaks and bug fixes, and features. this introduces external sd card support on Android Lollipop 5.0+.

the downloader and entire app has been redesigned to support this feature. please test and let me know.

this APK is for Lollipop 5.0+ for testing. On future alpha releases, the older devices will be supported again. this makes testing and debugging easier.

on some older devices, you'll get "Merge Error" when merging video and audio when external sd card is selected. to fix this i have to redesign an entire library. this is only with DASH videos (i.e the ones which has separate audios).

[Android Apps and Games] DSM_:
hi,

can you please try alpha 3? I could replicate the issue, and it's fixed in latest alpha, and tested on Android 9.0.
[Android Apps and Games] DSM_:
the new alpha has more music support.

for youtube music videos like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqYK20ceOi4

it can fetch album, multiple artists info, and album art. this allows us to save the metadata on file, so it also appears in other music player on device.

if the youtube music is not supported in your country (i.e. the above given link doesn't work), you can turn on vpn for a while and keep the music offline; you will be able to see official artists audio only videos.

(attached screenshot: album + artist info in player bottom bar)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Spanish ready

all have been changed into Spanish, waiting for the new update
[Android Apps and Games] fred_gaou:

all credit goes to you, contributors.
[Android Apps and Games] DSM_:
released new version: v0.9-alpha5

this fixes major bug: download (forbidden) errors for many people when logged in.

also adds thumbnail support for playlists.

the "error while fetching links from youtube" messages are replaced with more detailed reason (when available) from youtube, including video not available in country, video was deleted, video doesn't exists. etc. which is more user friendly.

while selecting directory for new download, instead of just graying out the "select" button, it now shows warning about directory not writable. (note that, the external sd cards can be selected using the new api, with "external" button on same dialog)

changelog:

* fix: show thumbnails in playlists

* improvement: show reason in error if video is unavailable on youtube (geo-restricted, deleted, invalid etc.) when link fetching fails

* bug fix: http 403 forbidden errors

* fix: load all file sizes in new download format list correctly

* ui: (minor) swap series/season/episode with directory text view in dl list item

* fix: improve checking if file exists, fixes streaming continuity errors if file was moved/deleted

* file selection dialog: show warning is directory is not writable, instead of just disabling select button

* ui: (minor) fix color tint on dl list toolbar and display correct title

* revert: yt music album art hack (seems like yt did what we needed)
[Android Apps and Games] Ssalt:
Amazing app by the way! Do you possibly have recommended settings for fastest download speeds. Also what is the better the WebM or MP4. I'm on an S9+ if that makes a difference. Again thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] DSM_:
the default settings are good enough, but for modern devices (like yours), you can increase the number of threads (connections) per download, to 8 (from 5, which is default), if you are on a wired network, this will help maximizing the download speed for larger sizes.

the webm and mp4 are just containers for media. the codecs make the real difference which compresses the stream. for youtube, that is, H264 in MP4 container and VP9 in WebM container.

the VP9 is Google's Codec,. both have similar performance, but VP9 supports higher resolutions better like 4K, 8K.

which is why for most videos, you'll see only VP9 (WebM) formats available for higher resolutions ( > 1080p) on YouTube, as H264 is quite old.

now, they are testing AV1 codec, which will reduce the file sizes significantly, for same quality. you must have started to see AV1 formats for some videos (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb5oEaYsB0c)
[Android Apps and Games] DSM_:
hey guys,

released new version of the app. now you can search youtube from native ui. there's not need to always open the web now.

other changes include:

bottom sheet player bar is now hideable, swipe it down to stop music.

you can receive alpha/beta update right within the app. also, improved support for androids lower than lollipop

see post #2 for full changelog.
[Android Apps and Games] Adarsh balu:
This app is worthless. It just shows the install page and is not moving untill i restart my phone. Home button unresponsive,back button unresponsive , recent button unresponsive. Try and make it right
[Android Apps and Games] besweeet:
Latest alpha looks and works great though the only thing it's missing is a dark / black mode :D.
[Android Apps and Games] DSM_:
which install page are you talking about? i test on Nexus 4 also, it never freezes.
[Android Apps and Games] DSM_:
i almost had the dark mode ready. the only problem is youtube's mobile site doesn't yet support dark theme.

i hope they add it soon. meanwhile i'll add few more elements like native search results for easier navigation, which will also look good with dark theme
[Android Apps and Games] besweeet:
If every other element of the app is ready for a dark mode, why wait to release it? :D
[Android Apps and Games] DSM_:
it needs some tweaking to design (colors etc.). i'll release it soon.

oth, the playlist downloader needs a ton of improvement. i've planned to make it completely in the background, i.e. the process of adding/starting each video download will be instant (and starts in the download list). also include simplified version of format priorities (so user don't have to remember the youtube codes like 140, 22 etc.)

in addition, there could be selections like: best, best (but not higher than device resolution), etc?

currently, i'm adding support for merging AV1 videos, which fails in current release.
[Android Apps and Games] besweeet:
I like this idea. I always download 720p videos, so doing something like best[height=720] (like I do with youtube-dl on desktop) would be handy.
[Android Apps and Games] azad.56:
Please give all features as videoder provide. And change icon as well.

(1) Black Amoled theme with Gird list instead of normal list,

(2) Loging youtube Account option,

(3) Subscription option for our subscribe chennal,

(3) picture to picture pop up player so that no need back full page,

(4) Add,Like,Comment option as well,

(5) And mp3 in 256 quality. And auto Embed subtitle with video in single file so that not need to download subtitle separately. And update player too.
[Android Apps and Games] DSM_:
hi,

5) i've added embedded subtitles feature. will be available in next release.

now, testing mp3 conversion. you can expect advanced features which will allow you all types of bitrates including 256, in user friendly way

1) as in above posts, dark theme is work in progress.

2, 3, 4) can be done in browser currently. but more native youtube features like search will be added incrementally (over next releases maybe)

1) do you mean grid list for downloads, or youtube search results/trending/feed etc? for downloads it won't be possible to display so much information per item in grid layout.
[Android Apps and Games] Shah.khan:
youtube search results/trending/feed etc
[Android Apps and Games] DSM_:
hey guys, released new version (beta 1)

this brings most demanded feature - mp3 conversion, along with metadata (hd thumbnail, title, author/channel etc) saving support. this makes the offline files looks good in any music player.

other new feature is embedded subtitles. (this makes subtitles playable by almost all (notable) video players, as the subtitles are converted to more common format than what youtube offers)

full changelog:

* fix story board image fetcher in video player

* bug fix: correctly loads downloads list display menu

* ui: improve download location path parser when directory is in (saf) downloads

* ui: improve app-bar in (native) search screen

* bug fix: auto rename if file already exists in batch mode

* crash fix: when video name contains (same) extension as filename

* settings: improve strings: more explanation about download methods

* new feature: add support for embedded subtitles (single video file)

* new feature: show progress for merging of audio/video in notification

* new feature: faster merging of audio/video (using all cpu capabilities)

* ui: make the bottom sheet player hide-able only when collapsed (less accidental dismisses)

* new feature: add mp3 audio support (conversion from audio, and video if no audio is available in exceptional cases)

* new feature: save meta data (title, author, etc) in audio file (only in mp3 for now)

* ux: display audio formats on top in new download's format selection list

* update libraries
[Android Apps and Games] DSM_:
hey guys,

released new beta.

this support of dash/mp3 files on external sd cards, or usb drives, completing the external storage feature.

let me know if it works correctly.

ps: i developed a special protocol, so the file write speeds of merging audio/video should be as fast as possible.

enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] besweeet:
One feature I miss from the older version is pull to refresh when I'm in the browse tab.
[Android Apps and Games] DSM_:
The reason why I had to remove it was that it doesn't work well with scroll to hide toolbar feature. which is also a workaround, as Google didn't built that feature into WebView :(

I hope it's not a big deal

[Android Apps and Games] thecoolkid:
Hey, love the app. Could you maybe consider relocating the "+" button or moving it's options into overflow menu on Android TV devices? It's impossible to click this button with a remote and when I use the mouse it actually turns on the video on the suggestion list beneath it.

I have Nvidia SHIELD TV and I used it to manage my videos downloaded to the external HD. The recently added support for external storage works great here!

That small change would be greatly appreciated!

[MENTION=3359381]DSM_[/MENTION] - Hello, since a couple of days now, every video that I try to download pops up a toast message saying "Unable to extract links. Video might be unavailable". Maybe a YouTube side change. Any ideas? Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] DSM_:
hello everyone,

i noticed your posts and emails. youtube side change has broken the extractor, but wont take too long to fix.

unfortunately i've college exams going on, i hope you can wait a few days till i fix it. i've had new features in the pipeline but hot-fix will be released asap.

all the videos give this error. is not a problem about the video.

I have Adguard activated but I turn it off before...

I have oneplus 6 with android 9. In the oneplus 3 it worked.....
[Android Apps and Games] kvevand63:
The dev is working on a fix. This happens every so often when Google make a change in YouTube on their side and breaks the extractor. Happens with any YouTube downloader app I believe.
[Android Apps and Games] Casualhacker:
Actually, when this problem first started I checked a few other downloaders to see if they could deal with the new change. Videoder, devian's TubeMate, and YouTube Downloader were already able to find and use functional links.

Whatever change YouTube has made is apparently not very drastically different. I know that the version of Videoder I tried is several months old and works fine.

I still much prefer the style and functionality of GetTube though, and look forward to being able to use it again.
[Android Apps and Games] DSM_:
hi everyone,

the error has been fixed. it was a small change from YouTube. you can update in About dialog box in the app as usual, the upload process takes verification time on other site like Uptodown.

thank you for your patience.

enjoy.
[Android Apps and Games] kvevand63:

How is everyone able to download this? I haven't been able to get anything to download from the XDA Labs app on my phone or from the desktop site from my laptop for weeks, using Chrome or Firefox, even tried signing in from an incognito window so it wouldn't have any other cookies going on, no luck. I just get an unstyled XML response saying Access Denied after logging in.
[Android Apps and Games] kvevand63:
Assuming that you currently don't have the app on your device.

There is a link in the OP for UpToDown. Download it from there, however when I checked a few minutes ago, it was not updated with the new release. Download it anyway and install it. Open the app and go to 'About' (swipe to right from the left edge). It will then prompt you for update to latest release.
[Android Apps and Games] Terminator.J:
Oh hey, check that out, self-updating. I *do* have it on my device already, didn't realize it could download & update itself directly, nice!

I just saw the update from XDA Labs, and then ran into the AccessDenied error that I was also getting for weeks trying to update MixPlorer.

Useful feature to save youtube video on Android

Very intresting application for Android. I do download youtube movies always to my desktop and then transfer to my phone.

With this app, I think it will be easier to get the video directly on your phone. I like it.

It may be related to the problem Podsync is having lately: After a week or two of unreliable downloading due to changes at YouTube, it was very recently fixed; but with the current side effect that every podcast episode is missing it's title.

Same problem

Please fix the issue
[Android Apps and Games] Casualhacker:
I am experiencing the same problem with crashing on every download attempt. Rebooting didn't help

Before I realized that this was a YouTube issue, I tried deleting GetTube's app data to attempt a fix for my phone's system. Then I tried using the XDA Labs app to uninstall and reinstall.

None of this fixed anything of course. But the reinstall did treat me to a complete restoration of my deleted app data.

That's something that I can't always count on happening; even when using the Play Store.

It gave me a new appreciation of the high standards that both the developer and Xda strive for.

I think we can safely trust that the dev will eventually be able to restore core functionality for us all. (And hopefully maybe a nice dark theme someday.) ?
