Right now your when downloading a playlist. If the software crashes or something and you try to download again it will replace and reprocess all the files on the same folder. It would be nice if it could detect existing files and skip.
Thank you again for your nice work. Hopefully your app is useful to other as it has been to me. Can emphasize that enough.
Add "Update Now" Button to subscriptions page.
Taking advantage here on this request and asking if you could also add another filter like the one you added. So we could choose to download < and >. ;-)
There are videos with the same names on the channel. When uploading a list of videos with the same names, these videos overwrite the same file. It is necessary to add the numbering setting so that when the names match, the last digit of the numbering in the file name changes.
hey I tried downloading a playlist and it didn't download any of the songs, but when I closed it and reopened it it worked. its not that big of a deal but I'm posting this for anyone else who has this issue.
Once you start the download, there is a progress bar and a Back button: if you press the Back button, you return to the home tab, but you can't see what is being downloaded.
I suggest to add a “Videos” section, where you can find everything that has already been downloaded and what is being downloaded at the moment.
In "Bulk download" there is no way to drag the text from the browser address bar with the mouse. And there is also no way to drag the link from the site page. It turns out that first you need to drag everything into Notepad, and then copy it from notepad to the Loader. Why can't it be done right away without intermediaries?
Hey Dev, So today I updated my YPD to 1.705 thinking all the problems that I had in 1.72 & 1.704 must have been fixed but I was dead wrong. anyway, after the update I put a link to download a video & it successfully manages to download the video however it didn't download the subtitles of the video and for some weird reasons converting part of the process just doesn't end
Download counter is still broken. ATM I don't have a good working internet connection. I Can only get 10 Mb/s at best. here are the results I got, first of all here is my Download speed in MiB/s & here it is in Mb/s so only a 10Mb/s at best & now here is the result of your app download counter
this is really infuriating. Please fix it.
YPD doesn't tell the user what resolution of the video is it downloading, add a function to let users know what resolution they are downloading.
Another request is to enhance the UI for the ease of use. add all the setting of YPD on the very first page instead of hiding them in sidebars or show them via pressing a button it takes too much time honestly I don't like this, there are only a few settings to play with and every time I need to enable/disable a setting I need to find that setting. do something so I don't need to find a single setting
Make an updateable portable version if a user tries to update it your app will download a setup instead of updating the portable version files. if I need a setup to update it defeats the whole purpose.
So in short, these are things you need to worry about.
Fix the conversion process & subtitle problem in the new version.
Fix the UI for better UX & for ease of use.
Download counter isn't showing the correct speeds.
Add a function to let the users know what resolution of the video they are downloading.
Hi, I decided to try your app for the first time and I ran to an issue. I can't seem to find where the playlist I downloaded go.
I tried checking the location where the playlist supposed to be and I can't seem to found it.
Please help me with this issue, thanks in advance.
After the video is downloaded and converted, clicking the "Open destination folder" option results in a crash, with an error reading "YoutTube Playlist Downloader: YoutubePlaylistDownloader.exe... The exception unknown software exception (0xe0434352) occured in the application at location 0x76725ef8"
As the app is made in C#, I think it could have a possibility con the Microsoft Store of apps for Windows 10 PCs. Theoretically, the UWP should give some support for this kind of app.
After inserting a playlist link into the search bar, my download button is still gray, and I can't download it, I tried to download it using the Bulk download, also didn't work, tried with over 8 playlists, and nothing, I can download solo videos just fine....
After installing downloader and trying it out not changing any settings except (changing video quality to 1080p and checking "open destination folder when done" option) I got two files for every item in playlist with the same name but the video file was of type "File" and audio file was MP4 as you can see in the picture bellow. Video can be openned in vlc and windows media player (but doesn't have any sound). As for me, I don't mind as much I can easily add audio track to the video and the timing is correct. Love the tool.
Hi, nice project!
I tried to build the solution but there's a missing reference to "taglib-sharp" in packages.config.
Where can i get the same version of taglib-sharp you are using?
I tried downloading the NuGet package available but it's not compatible (or at least the version i downloaded wasn't).
Thanks in advance.
Overview:
I started the the video the half way through with my VPN turn on, But once I turn it off it aborts the whole operation and don't restart until I restart my computer.
Steps to reproduce:
Turn on your VPN
Start downloading a file in the Youtube Playlist downloader
when the file is more than >5 % downloaded, Turn off your VPN connection
I used the ''convert videos to opus'' option in the audio part of the configuration and got in result downloaded an audio file with 1 second skipped. If you need me to be more specific please let me know.
Hi, thanks for this amazing app.
I downloaded some videos to test your app.
the application says ALL DONE and in Queue tab I can see all of them is downloaded with 100%. but I can't find it in my videos folder. why is that?
I've also changed the save folder and tried again with no luck.
First of all thanks a lot for this amazing simple app.It's great. Only problem I am facing is it's downloading in mkv format.. So is there any way to convert it to other format like mp4 coz in mkv all the video metadata information(line image height/width,fps, bitrate) are missing?
The time format changes depending on the language of the pc and prevents the playlist from downloading. For the software to work you need the time format "yyyy-MM-dd" but other people can have the time format "dd / MM / yyyy" (this is the case in France). The format can be changed in the settings but this could cause problems for those who do not know this feature.
Hi and first of all thank you for this great peace of software. Awesome job.
Do you think would be viable to add options to filter what it downloads from the playlists?
Ex.: I don't want to download DJ Sets and stuff. I would like to download only single songs. Would be nice to have an option to filter. Like don't download anything above 20min or something like that.
When opening the app and downloading the playlist, it shows the download bar for each video and such, but after its all done and I check the destination folder, there aren't any videos downloaded. Error file is attached
Also how do I download it all as an mp3 Errors.txt
I downloaded 201 files from a playlist. The data was consumed from the ISP but I couldn't find the videos in the destination folder. Errors.txt
I have attached the errors.txt file for reference and I have tried running as an administrator.
please help me find the videos
As it stands now YPD doesn't have any feature to let the user open the download directory.
add a setting to automatically open the download directory when YPD finishes downloading the files.
Remember to add this functionality only on the downloading page don't add this on setting page.
There are 2 versions of this feature so let's just make a todo list
Add an option to automatically open destination folder on the downloading page.
add an option to manually open the destination folder when downloading finishes
Hi! Any plans to port the project into termux? It would be very helpful for me and to the others. But don't bother if u don't have the time hehe. Just a suggestion
