Great app, thanks for your work, keep it! :good:

I also have a problem, I have been using this app fine and it works great! Only problem is that you can only download using Wifi? I tried using mobile data and it didn't work, please fix.

Go into settings and uncheck download only on WiFi.

I've downloaded using data.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
Maybe similar to Xposed One Tap Youtube Module. With video/audio codec options to filter available downloads. But if you think this might confuse new users, could you add an "advanced user ui" in app settings?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
Hmm. If Android allows implementing checkboxes on top of listview, I'll look into it.

If not, I have to code my own custom view.

5.2.2 is up.

A minor(maybe major for some people) bug fix.

5.2.2

youtube-dl engine updated to 2017.02.10

Fixed an error showing temporary network issue when it's not
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Logan:
Old videos like 2013 or older hangs on initializing download video name shows up but it doesn't download (audio downloading).

Please give me a link of such video.

I was unable to download old videos after updating from 5.2.1 to 5.2.2.

Edit: wiped ArkTube's data and cache, now it works!.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] drakenabarion:
Hey,

I love the usage of this app, so I felt I must buy the support app from play. Well worth supporting this!

I have an odd issue. I updated to Nougat, and, while trying to install or update this app, I can't click install, only cancel. What is odd, I can install other apps. Is it an issue with nougat?

PS it is EMUI 5.0 - yup that Huawei os. (actually not so bad!)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FishyFing:
i had a similar issue on my 3T (OOS 4.0.2). I don't know what went wrong but a reboot seemed to fix it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] drakenabarion:
Sadly rebooting does not help me.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] falptekin:
Being unable to click install button is sometimes caused by "night light" variant blue light filter apps (or generally active apps that overlay the whole screen). You can try disabling such apps and try again...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ipmanwck:
Great stuff man. Love this on my 6p. Was having to use tube mate before and now this is just amazing... Thank u.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] drakenabarion:
I don't have anything like that active so its a mystery as to why I am having this issue with just this app. However I can install manually my creating the appropriate folder in /data/app and renaming the apk to base.apk.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] merkurial:
I've bought the donation package yet in my Redmi Note 3 arktube never detects it.

It works beautifully on my girlfriend's LG K10 and on a friend's Galaxy S7. The latter is rooted & has xposed, the former is unmodified. In mine, with a Nexus Experience 6.0.1 rom, I've tried disabling xposed, Greenify and LSpeed and the outcome is always the same, it always complains because donation package is needed.

Any clue?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] todonormal:
If you use youtube-dl, it's possible download videos of other sites?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] QuicksilverCZ:
It would please add support for MP3 format? Thanks for the info.

[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] is it possible when downloading a playlist you group it as an album. My music apps picks each song as it's own album.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vaterfa:
download history can be great
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MrWilsonxD:
Works perfect with My Chromebook Plus in dev mode. Awesome work!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Thor™:
Good one. But, This could be cheaper. Free apps like OGYouTube, SnapTube, TubeMate also can download 4K videos from many sites ?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] veez21:
[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]. How about a separate audio codecs on downloading audio and video. I want my audios to be aac and my videos to be opus
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
I had many reports that disabling some Xiaomi's battery saving features fixes the issue.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
That's the ultimate goal, but unfortunately I haven't got the time to implement it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
arkTube needs to encode the audio to produce MP3 files.

Encoding should not be done by the downloader imo.

There are plenty of good MP3 encoders on the Play store.

FYI, encoding to MP3 degrades the audio quality.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
I'm not sure it's doable.

I'll go over the technical stuffs and see if it's implementable.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] milojoseph:
Thank you for the response. I guess I'll have to manually unbundle the playlist and group them together on my laptop. I can see why it's hard. Never thought of that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
aac, vorbis and opus is all audio codecs.

Alternate video codec is vp9, and you can set it to download it from the app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JohnSmit268:
There are plenty of tag editor apps on play store, you can easily edit the tags of the musics that you downloaded and assign them to a single album, I use star music tag editor myself.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] veez21:
No, I mean the audio codec in videos. If you set the audio codec to aac then both audio and video files' audio codecs are aac, and if you set it to opus both audio and video files' codecs are opus.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sefyron:
hello, i have a problem when i try to download a video it get stuck and won't download
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] veez21:
Try re-downloading it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sefyron:
hey bro i redownload the video same thing and i got the donation package
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sefyron:
i tried and i have the donation package
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
Ah, right.

Can you suggest a name for that menu that won't confuse the users?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] veez21:
How about adding a parenthesis like this

Audio Codec (Audio)

Audio Codec (Video)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] please add a list where you can pause and resume downloads. Sometimes the download freezes without any error message. The only solution is to cancel the download and have to start again from the beginning :s

I think pausing and continuing would solve the problem
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ragnar Eldur:
Heya what about using the APK tool to remove ads, is that okay by XDA?

Also maybe recompile the YouTube app with the background playback feature?

[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] couldn't download this video. Attaching screenshot and a log. It's stuck, as you can see in the screenshot. Paid version.

I really like how this App is working but I couldn't get it to work reliable no matter what I try, neither on my 6p with Android 7.1.1 nor on my Shield with 7.0.

The Video Download does work maybe 1 out of 7 Times the other Times it's just Stuck. Different Videos, Different Settings and I looked through the Topic, it seems to be a common Problem. Is there any other way besides Force Stopping arktube and retry?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ragnar Eldur:
Sometimes when I'm going to download a playlist and choose most recent it crashes.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SkaboXD:
Can you add a option for editing metadata for audio? And one more question m4a vs opus vs vorbis, which is the best format in terms of sound quality?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Gawd:
Don't forget to include a round icon for supported devices. Thanks :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
"Sometimes" is not enough for debugging anything.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
Since arkTube is intended for downloading, I did not include metadata editing feature.

I heard there are already pretty good apps for editing metadata.

And regarding audio codecs, Opus should be the best,

but one should compare it directly on YouTube as encoding settings might be different from one another.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
My Windows installation is messed up atm, so no Photoshopping for now...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ragnar Eldur:
OK it never happens when I choose to start with the oldest but when I choose the most recent it happens every fifth time or so. But doesn't bother me much as I just choose the oldest options instead. Just thought I should let you know.

Hi dev, i love this app and i am using it since last month, also i purchase the donation and it was working fine with arktube 5.2

Now i have uñdsted to v5.3 and the donation is not being recognized anymore.

I already tried uninstalling the app and donation and reinstalling both, clean data and clean cache, install first the app and when prompt install the donation but nothing :( it still saying i need to get the donation even after the 3 steps verification of donation package say it is succesfully detected.

I dont want my money back because i want to use your app with all the features i pay for... any help?

Thanks!

EDIT: just downgrade to version 5.2.2 and it is working again so the problem could be somewhere with v5.3 and donation pack and spanish version....

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sieem:
Hi Arter97, thank you for this great app. I'm just wondering if this is just me, but every time I download more than 1 video simultaneously, there is always one that get stuck at merging. Technically it's the notification that gets stuck. The video is merged successfully, but the notification persists on a certain percentage. I have to force quite the app the get rid of the notification.

I'm using the latest version on a Redmi Note 3 with LineageOS and I download to an SD card via the root method. No metadata included.

Also another thing: perhaps it could be handy to have a download list so you can easily see which downloads are completed successfully and which had an error. But I can live without, it just a nice to have.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fcbn98:
Hey, arter97!

ArkTube is a very awesome app for those of us who live in third-world countries where downloading is the only way to get a buffer-free experience.

I would like to suggest that the program merges VP9/OGG files as WebM, since I have downloaded some VP9/Opus videos w/ youtube-dl in the WebM format, and the built-in player on my midrange phone plays it flawlessly with the exception of subtitles.

I'd be fine with MKV, but only MX can play those MKVs, and it can't even finish playing the video.

Thanks for your app!

No, I've never used this kind of storage. The strange thing is that videos that I had already started downloading and that were in the arktube cache (that I decided to continue later because the connection is very slow) presented this problem when I tried to resume. So I thought maybe it was a change in the YouTube url

Hey man this is definitely the best YouTube downloading app available. I bought it a couple days ago. If you could add two things it would be PERFECT. I have seen a few requests for a downloading queue, which is probably the most needed thing. The other request I have is to be able to quickly download as a share from the YouTube app. You have that available right now, but only for one resolution. If you could add in at least one more resolution they people could choose from that would be awesome. For instance I have arktube set to download at 720p at 60fps, but I also would like to download some videos at 360p as well. If you could add that as a direct link share straight from YouTube that would make it the perfect YouTube downloading app!!! Thank you!!

Go to arktube and uncheck vp9 when its enabled you download the video in .mkv that comes in a smaller size and when not its .mp4. .mkv (Martoska) is not supported in every video player. Maybe thats the problem you are facing.
