Noticing a minor glitch when trying to download a playlist choosing the Download Recent Videos First option, it fails, but if I choose the Download Oldest Videos First option, then it works.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
Is it reproducible on all playlist?

If not, please leave a link to that particular playlist and the used options within arkTube.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ragnar Eldur:
This is the playlist I tried to download with the audio - recent videos first option: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfVOO54VlBgIV6v6a3ziyjzduCA94BjE5

Why when i download video on wifi connection size of video 240p to 720p always same but when i switch to mobile data it became different
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jaizu:
Never thought I would have an app being that good for me, downloading videos before going out is always nice. Already got the pro version and working without any problems in AOSPA 7.3.1 in my OP3T, thank you!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ettore88:
Hi guys!!!Just a question.For S7 Edge...Which version?Generic?THX in advance.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Leoguov:
Thanks!!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Phantoml337:
Hi, it would be nice if you could state in the description that the Pro version doesn't work with Lucky Patcher installed. I was going to pay and had to get a refund. Until you disable LP detection, you can sod off...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zelendel:
Do t mention lucky patcher. It is banned here as a wares app. Also many apps won't run if you have it installed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Phantoml337:
It's up to me what I install on my phone. The dev should state it is incompatible, so that people don't have to spend money on ****ty products.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zelendel:
There is no need as that app is banned here Which means no talking about the app or even mentioning it.

XDA stands behind developers doing this and have even stood behind Rom developers adding the same code to their roms (which many do)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sairam108:
I have the same issue. Got refund from Google play as the App doesn't work if LP installed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zelendel:
Well get used to it. It is being put into many projects on XDA and on the play store. Not sure why people even use it with the security risks it is but to each their own.

Again. Talking about banned apps is a nice way to be banned from the site. XDA has a very strong standing on this.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sairam108:
I am talking about not working App of the topic subject that I payed to. And there were no information that it will not work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zelendel:
Which means nothing. We dont care if you payed millions for the app. You will find no help other then being told to remove LP and not to bother posting about it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Aviortheking:
Hi its seems thats my arktube dont.want.to download amy youtube videos nor audio any clues ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wockamx:
Need help

I need help....the license verification's got some problem.

Installed the apk and bought the donation package. Every time I open the arkTube apk, I get the notification that the license was verified, but the pro features just won't unlock. The verification process repeats every single time I exit the app and open it again. I even tried uninstalling it, rebooting my phone and installed it again, but it just won't work.

I'm using Galaxy S7 edge, Nougat 7.0, no root. I downloaded the newest version, 5.5.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FaulFels:
Exact the same problems for me.

I just uninstalled the app and let it be.

If the dev is not willing to change his licensing policy we cant't do anything. And it seems that in his eyes it is the users problem not his.

Sad but true.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zelendel:
Considering it is working for the majority. I would have E to agree with the dev.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
At some point, does the license check work and enable pro features? If so, install the app and configure it the way you like it when pro features are active. From what I saw, the license is checked only when you open the main app, so if you do not open it, you're safe. Downloads continue to work perfectly
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
Am I the only one who still has problem with the notification when trying to resume a download soon after the connection drops? The notification looks as if the download was starting even though it is happening (visible from network traffic). If the connection drops again, there is nothing else to do, just force the stop, clear cache and start again.

This problem occurs in a custom AOSP rom 7.1.1. In stock 6.0 it works perfectly.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ZhekaJ:
Hello guys! How to enable queue to limit the number of downloads at the same time ? Playlist is not the same. Thank you !
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thevirgonian:
Currently there isn't a way. I have been asking for this ability for awhile. Almost all the other YouTube downloaders have this ability.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ZhekaJ:
This app use internal storage as a temporary directory. I don't have free internal space. I've got an error "download failed". How to change temporary directory to external storage (SD card) ??? Thank you !

Sadly app doesn't work for me properly :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Inpain:
Is the site down ? Keep getting 500 internal server error
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fivefour:
Seems to be.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] numloxx1978:
HI all,

His web server is dead at the moment, as per his twitter account.. guessing that's where his files are?

https://twitter.com/arter97/status/952797949653786624

Just found this app and have donated right away. Thanks for linking the latest APK for us...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fivefour:
XFS filesystem for a server, never seen this before. Hopefully it's filesystem and not hardware.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeevan_500:
I have a strange problem recently I have upgraded to Oreo in my Mi A1 and when I downloaded a video upto 70 percent it gives full speed and after 70 percent the speed drops to 100 kB strangely I did not face this problem in 7.1.1 kindly look into it
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DShpak:
The same (Android 7.1.2). What can cause the problem?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeevan_500:
I have no idea hope developer will look into it
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] J.Carver:
I'm on 7.1.1, OxygenOS, OP3, same issue. Not Android version related it seems. Noticed it started around a week ago.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SkaboXD:
Maybe download accelerator have some errors
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
This slowdown occurs during the audio download. Has Google servers limited access speed? Maybe to save bandwidth usage or maybe counter-attack piracy...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Steve One:
Verizon note 8 on 7.1.1 no problems here.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DShpak:
It's very strange. Did You do any settings after installing the app? If yes, share with us please. Maybe your settings will resume the correct operation of the app on other devices.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Steve One:
Nothing special here.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DShpak:
And so indeed, there is nothing in particular with your settings. Nothing is clear with this problem, given that you have a quick download process:(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] J.Carver:
Well his download accelerator is *disabled*.

What speeds do you get? I start around 10MB/s so the first 50% go blazingly fast but after that it instantly goes to 2.3MB/s and starts to decline. 800,600,500 and by the time I've reached 96% it's sitting at around 50-60kB/s. The only time I remember seeing this elsewhere is on my PC download manager when it disconnects download threads one by one at the end of the download. So my guess is the threads are being terminated too early but if you have accelerator disabled and still encountering slowdowns...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Steve One:
Your absolutely right Sir. Mine slows down also, but it still gets the full download.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DShpak:
J. Carver and I and others, we also have a full downloading process (downloading doesn't stop), but it significantly slows down at the very end of the process.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeevan_500:
for me also exact same problem
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rajax:
I've recently got the same slowdown issues on both a oneplus 3 on stock OxygenOS 5.0.1 (Android 8.0.0) and on a Nexus 5 running a fairly current build of lineage (don't have the phone on me at the moment to confirm). Starts off normal speed and then quickly drops - like how youtube buffers the initial portion quickly but then just goes a little bit ahead at a time. I still get all the downloads but the speeds absolutely tank from 2MB/s+ to 60-100KB/s.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
An update regarding slow audio track downloads.

https://twitter.com/arter97/status/956644361936105472
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] android_smater:
Does it supports mp3 download from youtube

Because it downloading in m4a format
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
The app only downloads in formats already available by YouTube, it does not convert to mp3
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
I've just uploaded 6.0-rc1.

This is a beta testing version, you won't get any notifications telling you to update.

This is a trial app, it'll stop working from 2018.02.28.

You should go back to stable releases(hopefully 6.0 by then) when the trial ends.

Here's a changelog :

Version 6.0:

- aria2c updated to 1.33.1

- ffmpeg updated to 3.4.1

- youtube-dl engine updated to 2018.02.04

- Python updated to 3.6.4

- Replaced Fast download mode with Dynamic download to countermeasure YouTube throttling

- Implemented HDR option

- Improved device responsiveness when downloading

- Improved downloads cancellation to work much faster

- Fixed notifications disappearing on rare occasions

- Improved initial download speed by caching JSON

- Fixed an issue where caches are not being cleaned

- Fixed VP9 detection on recent devices

http://www.arter97.com/browse/tmp/arkTube-6.0-rc1-TRIAL.apk
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
It is super fast! I downloaded a single track which usually would start fast and slow down after 50%. With the 6.0 build, it was close to instantaneous.

I downloaded a few playlists and there is no regression in performance. I believe the logic for deciding the downloader and the flags have not changed for the playlist download.

Waiting for the RC to be promoted to stable release...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zelendel:
Will test it out. Hope it fixes the order issue when downloading Playlist.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Logan:
Tried individual audio downloads runs perfectly in high-speed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] f0li0:
Speeds are back to normal. Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
After the Internet connection drops (not the wifi signal), I can't resume the download by clicking on the notification. But clearing the notification and forwarding the video to the arkTube again works
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
Thanks for the confirmation.

Fixed internally.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
6.0-rc2 is up.

Some bug fixes.

6.0-rc2

- Fixed an issue where resuming downloads won't work

- Fixed an issue where notifications kept on disappearing

- Fixed an issue where notifications are marked "in progress" when they have actually finished

- Fixed dynamic download not being effective on some downloads

http://www.arter97.com/browse/tmp/arkTube-6.0-rc2-TRIAL.apk
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SkaboXD:
Is this normal or trial version? I want to update from 5.5 to 6.0-rc2.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
By trial, I meant time trial. All features are enabled until 2018/02/28.

Feel free to update.

I'll release 6.0 stable version before the trial expires.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] furyza:
how to update?

should i remove installed old version first then install new version?

or

just install it without remove old version?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
Doesn't matter.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ZhekaJ:
Arter97

Can you make downloading queue to limit the number of downloads at the same time ? Thank you !
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] With the automatic numbering scheme for playlist download, the detection of downloaded file breaks if you change the order of download when you download the same playlist (I use YouTube playlist to classify music and sync via arkTube).

I think you should ignore the sequence number during comparison to handle any order.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] smohanv:
Would be better if the app downloads in mp3 as well. Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] the_reds2000:
I can't view sub on downloded videos
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ZhekaJ:
Latest beta. Download failed everytime when i try to download large files. :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
It's in my consideration, but I'm planning to rewrite with a dedicated download queue manager.

Might take a while.. :/
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SkaboXD:
Better ever then never :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
Um, yeah, but I dunno if I should fix that.

That is an extremely rare scenario and it would require some sophisticated code inside arkTube as arkTube doesn't have a database storing lists of previously downloaded files.

Even if the number is ignored and the download is resumed, the whole number thing will actually cause even more headache for the users when they are listing the downloaded files.

I think one should disable the playlist number feature if that's annoying.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
No, mp3 is dead.

Dead for good.

I'm not going to implement a separate mp3 encoder for that

IIRC, there are plenty of good mp3 encoders on the Play store.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
Thanks for the confirmation!

Fixed internally.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
I need more information than that.

Device, OS version and the link that fails, etc.

Please elaborate more.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
On the second Internet drop after starting the download (my connection is very unstable) the notification gets frozen in "Initializing download..." although the download is in process (notable through network traffic). I searched the log for "arkTube" and this time I think there is nothing relevant, let me know if you need another one
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
Thanks for the log, but it's too short and less informative for me to do anything about it.

If the issue is reproducible many times, please try to capture a longer logcat.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
Thank you for looking into it. It is not required since there is a work around. Looking forward to a stable release.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] smohanv:
Yeah. Make sense not to spend resource on a format which is almost dying (i wouldn't say dead yet).

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sytis:
It's being replaced with AAC and Opus, I think it is veeeery close to death (really for good). The current implementation of file encoding is sufficient enough,what would you even need mp3 for? :confused:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] smohanv:
Still more than 50% of the smartphone users can play only selective media files and mp3 is playing almost in all devices including low end devices.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
Every single Android devices can play m4a(aac) and ogg(vorbis) audio formats.

Support for those were added since the very first Android release.

If you somehow can't play m4a, use some reasonably good music player.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DiePirate:
Error downloading lastest rc apk
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
"stdout: ERROR: unable to download video data: <urlopen error _ssl.c:761: The handshake operation timed out>"

This indicates network issue.

The same video downloads just fine on my testing device.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DiePirate:
You're right, network issue. ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ZhekaJ:
We cannot wait for your download manager for 1 or 2 years. Make download queue as soon as possible, please. App process continuously stopped. ~10 downloads at the same time and app process stopped 100%. After restart, no downloads, no files. Downloads do not resumed automatically and cannot be resumed manually. Without download queue and resume this app is unusable and not cost any money.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
Right, I'll work on the queue feature after when 6.0 is released.

But I still cannot promise it'll land within "x" days.

Keep in mind if you're unhappy, I'm more than happy to give out a refund.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sytis:
Don't get bugged by those comments, I can't really reproduce his/her behavior that is described. For me everything works perfectly, even heavy playlists with 100+ Videos download without a problem. Keep up the good work, the current beta downloads even faster than 5.5 before Google changed the download behavior :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ragnar Eldur:
Love your work friend! Just got version 6! :D

Might we see a changelog, just curious.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dehnhaide:
Dear arter97, your newest update of the arter97 Donation Package has disabled the paid features in my arkTube app. Basically the Donation Package app says that the license is ok while the arkTube app says I am using a free version with disabled features!

Could you please fix this since it's very annoying. Thanks! ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] marvelljones:
Here's what worked for me: update to the latest version of arkTube, run the program, hit Go To Play Store, exit app. Once you go back into the app you should be good. Maybe reboot if that doesn't work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sieem:
I had the same thing with v6.0 and the new donation package app. But after restarting arktube three times and handshaking that many times, I have the premium functions enabled. A little annoying perhaps, but the speed increases are great!

Great to see that you still update the app. Keep up the good work!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] furyza:
update to 6.0-generic

update donation package

everything goes smoothly

never experiencing any issue
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
6.0 is now marked as stable.

Here's the changelog compared to last 6.0-rc2.

- Fixed internal data storage temp usage

- Fixed metadata/subtitles not being merged

- Improved initial download speed/stability

- Fixed notifications getting stuck on rare occasions

- Newer Donation package 3.3 required
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ZhekaJ:
You must be joking ! 6.0-rc2 is NOT STABLE. Repeatedly android system kill ArcTube process and all downloads, mergering stops. After app restart downloads not starting. You are still in BETA :( good luck
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arter97:
I never said 6.0-rc2 was stable, dude.

6.0 is the next version of 6.0-rc2.

If 6.0 is still troubling for you, just ask for a refund.

There was only 1 Moto E user from the last rc versions and I'm fairly certain it's you.

The failure log indicated that your network was faulty to begin with.

I’ve added additional steps to recover from network issues from 6.0 which was not present in rc2.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] f0li0:
RC stands for release candidate, 6.0 came after and is marked as stable.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] storm91:
For those who's having problems download video after latest 6.0 update, please uninstall the current arktube and install it again. It works for me,

Previously, the app was stuck on vallidating license, handshaking those 3 steps verification from the license software.

Good job man
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fcbn98:
Since 6.0, your donation package falsely detects warez applications on my device (stock Oreo). All of the apps on my device are legitimate apps, and some apps are from F-Droid, another legitimate app source. Does your donation package detect if any app is installed using the unknown sources option (which is what F-Droid does), instead of actually detecting if each app is warez or not?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zelendel:
If it is detecting warez apps then it maybe detecting either Lucky patcher or freedom. Both are considered warez apps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fcbn98:
Didn't have either of those apps on my phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zelendel:
Those are just the most popular ones. I don't know what checks this app does. I would go through your apps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
Also check for "leftovers" sometimes warez detection is reacting to folders/directories created from such apps in the past, even though the application itself is long gone...

If you are sure that your device is "clean" a logcat from the false-positive warez detection might help

Is download support for Youtube Web possible?

Suppose if we copy link from share menu of Youtube Web in a browser, Arktube popups to redirect to download.

Thank you in advance.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Inpain:
No, not possible.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] i0r:
Yes it is. Share the link with your browsers sharefunction. At least it works well for me now when I tried using Firefox and a S7 edge :) but I'll keep using YouTubes app anyway.

Best of luck! [emoji106]
