Problem downloading "video" folder even though videos exist

Found a bug. Try putting this in the "URL or search query" text box:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxJrxUKsNvxa5PkYrOLwXzg/videos

Even though videos exist, YoutubeDownloader will say "Nothing found":

Download mp3 320kbps

Let me ask how can I download mp3 files 320kbps. Please guide me.
Thank you very much.

Unable to download this video

When entering a url, it says that the value cannot be null. This is so frustrating because I need a way to download videos on a time restraint and I was expecting to get this done right away.

New Option to Include Upload Date in Filename

Please add an option so that we can include the Upload Date in the filename.

For example:

Title: Belly Flop Contest
Upload Date: July 11, 2019

Resulting filename: Belly Flop Contest 2019-07-11.mp4

Untrapped errors lead to crashing during downloading

Make title text in search dialog selectable

When downloading based on a huge Playlist, it is often convenient to create a subfolder (based on the name of the Playlist) to organize these files.

Could we make the title in the Search result dialog selectable so that we can copy the text of the title and subsequently we can create a subfolder by simply pasting the text for the subfolder name?

Value parameter cannot be 0

When I try to download any video, either from URL and through search it fails with no error code, the only thing that program says is that value parameter cannot be equal to zero.

Not a issue it's discussion

Hello,
Sorry for filling issue.
Actually i could not find community forum to add discussion,so reporting issue, but it's not issue at all.
Come to point.
Is there any existing desktop application to manage youtube channel like "tubebuddy" or "vidiq"?
If not can we start developing such application?

All videos are unavailable

I can't use url or youtube videoID to download media today.
any ideas? or youtube just change their rules...

Windows Title Bar should show Download % progress

During a download, it would be good if the Windows title bar can show the overall Download % progress of all pending downloads.

If that math is too difficult to calculate, at least change the Windows title bar to say (Pending...) or (Downloading...) while YoutubeDownload is downloading.

Show the regular Windows title bar when YoutubeDownloader is just sitting idle.

Right now it's difficult to tell if YoutubeDownloader is sitting idle or if it is downloading something. This small modification will help.

Virus total say It's a virus but why ?

Here is the scan result of YoutubeDownloader.exe

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/f98434b24a74919dc44b215ed6e32ec156938176d5feab060312d8ae33afc31e/detection

Why no exe?

App crashes when I put the app folder on C:\Program Files

With new version 1.4, I put the app folder to C:\Program Files and run the app, when I press X to close it, the app crashes.

Show progress in taskbar

Hey, It would be nice to see progress in taskbar. It would be especially useful when downloading larger amount of videos.
If one video: show percentage of completion.
If multiple videos: show how many videos completed.

Video [video_id] is unavailable

It will list 66 videos,now select mp3 option and hit ok,immediately application crashes without any error, I have not looked log as it can easily reproduced.

App crashes for unavailable videos

The app simply CRASHES by encountering a video that is unavailable on YouTube. The URL is valid but the video might be removed by YouTube due to whatever reason.

Try this one for example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGI2vCk6ykY

Need better error trapping.

I use proxy and It can download,but have problem

If I close there error window,the software will shutdown,
else I don't close these error window and the video can download.

Unable to download this video

This video plays fine on YouTube but fails in YoutubeDownloader.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDQZLyUU2D4

Any idea why?

BindableCollection Insert issue

In RootViewModel.cs on AddDownload method

Downloads.Insert(index, download); line fails on large playlists
quick fix is just to always insert on 0 but i doubt that is best solution

here is example large playlist if you want to play with it a bit: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5ezn3MwwSNFNxyCiWYpJ0bx905ui-x-r

Button to remove a specific downloaded video from the UI

After a big download, it would be nice if there is a button to remove a specific downloaded file from the UI to declutter the display. Right now, you can only clear the entire list from the UI, not a specific downloaded file.

Unable to download this video - Status Failed and ZERO byte file created

Do a search for "deep relaxing music" then try to download it.

Status shows Failed.

And a ZERO byte file is created. If download fails, please don't leave behind a ZERO byte file.

Button to clear the list of downloaded video from the UI

After a big download, it would be nice if there is a button to clear the list of downloaded files from the UI to declutter the display.

Add 4 columns to summary view

Please add the following 4 important columns to the summary view:

• Uploader
• Length
• File Size
• Upload Date

Could not find signature decipherer function name

Could not find signature decipherer function name，what should i do ? My OS is win10

Sorting videos

It would be nice to be able to sort videos.
By: Title, Date, Length, progress

Also 0.00% is a bit ambiguous. Maybe it can be changed to "Pending..." if it's not currently being downloaded.

Setting for default download path

A setting for "standard download path" would be very useful so you don't have to choose one each time.

Automatically tag audio files

Hey,
Is it possible to add an option to Youtube Downloader for MP3 downloads, to search for audio tags basis of track title like in "4K Youtube to MP3" ?

Like to search and grab-add titles or pictures of the artist-song to the MP3. Cause now when I open details of the MP3 file, title is missing from the description etc.

Exception thrown with Unrecognized video encoding

Use below url and hit enter it shows exception as shown in screenshot attached here.

https://youtu.be/ohxFArvBpBc

Does not work anymore

hello as the title says it works over at all and its whatever the version php even changing server so ip

Retry All Failed Downloads

Please add an option to "Retry all failed downloads".

If you have hundreds of Failed downloads, this option will quickly retry them with a single click. Convenient! :-)

Untrapped error lead to crashing when trying to PLAY a downloaded file that was deleted locally

1. Download a video from YouTube in YoutubeDownloader.
2. Then delete this file locally.
3. Press PLAY to play this file in YoutubeDownloader.

Because the local file is missing, YoutubeDownloader will crash with this error:

Big playlists of over 500 videos cause crashes

Appveyor key

Key is visible in your config.

Really malicious app ????

contains Malware code .

Cancel all active downloads when exiting application

Currently, FFmpeg can outlive YoutubeDownloader

App crashes for Video unavailable in Your Country

The app simply CRASHES by encountering a video that is unavailable on YouTube. The URL is valid but "The uploader has not made this video available in your country."

Try this one for example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o_rwJwqkDc

This is similar to issue #21.

Need better error trapping.

Can you provide a comand line version?

Can you provide a comand line version that accepts some parameters such as the video urls and save_path?

Can't we dowload 4K video in mp4 format?

Even with latest version, I found that, Its not able to download video in 4K resolution in mp4 format.

Prepend numbering option for playlists

It would be nice to have an option to prepend a number to each video in a playlist, to maintain order. This is especially useful in courses, which sometimes don't have the lecture number in the video name and depend on the order in the playlist.

Debugging the code, it looks the change needs to be in the DownloadMultipleSetupViewModel.Confirm, by replacing the foreach with a good-old for, and using the (string formatted) loop counter to prepend the filename if the option is selected

Pause/Stop/Start all downloads

I was trying to download ~200 videos and convert them to mp3, well it would have taken some time. App crached with some socket exceptions.
Maybe it would be possible to add some logic to resume after crash.
Some idea how it could work:

1. Start downloading videos.
2. When any video is downloaded serialize to file all videos, with tag completed/not completed. (after every video is downloaded)
3. Close/crash app.
4. Start app. Application checks if serialized file exists and if it exists continue. (ignore partial download and start from new).
5. All videos are done, remove file.

Program only shows audio download

Try to download one clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceM8ho3kFz0
youtube-dl can do it through command line but this app only shows audio choice.

Suggest on feature

can you add multiple options of quality to the mp3 sound format and can you add .wav support to this is turning out to be awsome

VideoStreamInfo is Null

Downloading mp3 always choose bit-rate 124kbps

Downloading mp3 always choose bit-rate 124kbps, there should be option to select bit-rate or default MUST be highest available.
