Sounds awesome. Would happily pay more.

Installed, immediately paid, installed, rebooted. But strangely the "Share" arrow in YT Vance does not show me Arktube as an option. Is that a common problem?

Refunded for now but would love to purchase and use.

Downloads appear to be failing, both audio and video, single downloads and play lists.

I'm using a Note8 and YouTube Vanced.

When I share to the Audio or Video target in my notifications the download initializes, and then fails. It takes perhaps 5-10 seconds for each video to fail.

Anyone else seeing this, or should I try to diagnose as a local issue?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wzlde:
I'm seeing this as well, however, another app from Labs, YTPlayer, also gives an error "can't get audio stream". Possibly a change on YouTube side?

Two days ago I could download, but today not.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] music2myear:
I believe I noticed it for the first two days ago myself. I'd assume it's a change on YTs side. Glad to know it isn't just me being thick headed.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wzlde:
Hi [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION], I have a feature suggestion.

Would it be possible to customize the file name pattern? E.g. to add channel name or playlist name at the beginning. This would allow to sort the files and easily distinguish them by their origin.

Without it, I have a folder of videos sorted alphabetically, different channels and upload dates are mixed together.

An ideal way would be to have variables related to YouTube metadata (such as $channel, $uploaddate, $title, $playlist) or download details ($downloaddate, $resolution) that could be used to dynamically construct the path (i.e. not only the filename, but also subfolder names, if necessary).

I had problem as you have before. Try to whitelist Arktube and donation package from battery optimization settings. And allow Arktube and donation package to work without any restrictions. Last thing is never clear these two apps from recent used apps. I fixed my problem doing this.

---------- Post added at 11:41 ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 ----------

One last thing, if you have still problem, clear data of two apps then uninstall them then install them again.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wzlde:

Noticed an issue. When playlist name contains emoji, the path for download can't be found. Emojis should be stripped from the name. Example: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4dnyexN-94YHGlH3xgrOy628m6o5qM8P

This is a more burning issue than the need to customize the file name pattern.

I seem to be getting a lot of failed downloads recently - am I the only one having this issue? I'm using the donation package and the app is version 7.1.8. Probably about 50% of the videos I attempt to download fail to do so.

Has been like this for at least a few weeks, I think, but I recently got a new phone and was reminded of the problem.

Playlist - Always reverse order

Hi

I'm using the current paid version of ArkTube.

When sharing a YouTube-Playlist with ArkTube, I can chose between two options:

1) Download most recent file first

2) Download oldest file first

Now it does not matter which option I chose, the numbering of the downloaded file is always the wrong way around.

If 16 Files:

16 is 1_Filename

15 is 2_Filename

...

1 is 16_Filename

Can somebody reproduce this? How can I fix this?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ragnar Eldur:
Getting constant download failures that began today.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ragnar Eldur:
I also recommend YMusic that you can get through the XDA Labs app. Works as a music player, download manager and YouTube Music Browser where you can discover all the available music videos and stream them directly with the music player, only loading the audio stream to save data. You can choose the audio and video format to download, edit the file name and storage location. Then there are many other handy settings. You can then choose your theme, my favorite is pitch black AMOLED background with blue accent.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
Ahh, come on guys... Where are your manners, please show some respect to the XDA rules, you're totally off topic, this adds zero value to arkTube development and ist straight nasty and impolite!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ragnar Eldur:
Sorry I didn't mean to offend the arkTube developer, I just suggested this alternative until the developer comes with and update fix.

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

One thing I don't understand, why does another YouTube downloader that hasn't been updated after the latest version of arkTube, still be able to download all videos without problems, while arkTube often run into download failures?

Well, there is one thing I noticed, I had to login into my YouTube account through the other YouTube downloader (YMusic) to be able to download videos and songs. Otherwise I get download link generation failures. Might this be something that could be implemented into arkTube that could possibly fix these download failures?

[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] I seem to be having a problem with app permissions to store on my external SD card. I don't think it's unique to the latest version of ark tube, it might go back a version or two. Everything was working fine until I was having some d/l problems due to the YouTube changes (ark tube version 7.1.9) so I opened up ark tube and it popped up with some permissions for the storage locations. Previously I had the path for videos set to /storage/9C33-6BBD and the audios set to /storage/9C33-6BBD/arkTube (note: 9C33-6BBD is my SD card)

I'm using a LG V20 on Oreo 8.0.0 stock no root. I've been using arkTube for a while now with no previous problems with storage locations and never changed them, just updated app as required by YouTube changes. As it stands now I'm only able to select internal storage locations.

If you need further information please let me know.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CoreyVidal:
This app is so so so close to what I need. I'm looking for a nice-looking app with a GUI just like this, that supports youtube-dl and ffmpeg, just like this. But arkTube will only accept YouTube links and nothing else.

arkTube is a really REALLY great app—I don't mean to be critical. But I've been on such a long hunt for a great youtube-dl app for Android.

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions? I know all about doing it through Termux. arkTube looks so nice. :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
arkTube's external storage handling code wasn't touched in probably months.

Do you mean that arkTube doesn't even prompt you to use external storage?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] oehajo:
I had the same problem with my intern storage. Perhaps not a change in Your code caused the problem. But Google often changes security and permissions, for instance the security library, and one normally doesn't no, what changed, because there's no changelog. So thank You for this fine app and keep the good work.

Using the paid version for about 3 years, and still downloading playlists is a pain.

I need the videos downloaded in the same order as in the playlist.

However, options are "oldest first or newest first". Ok, so I need the order like in the playlist, so I take "oldest first", and it starts downloading the playlist from the end backwards. The option is not helping at all.

I really need the simple option for playlist, "download in the same order as in playlist". Please do this!
