pepo was regularly dl'ing vids from youtube before i went on vacation a month or so ago. Now that i am back, when ever i try to dl from youtube and i go to add the link to jdownloader2, nothing happens. it is working normal on everything but youtube so i dont know if something has changed recently that i didn't see.

I have tried on 2 different laptops (windows10 and windows11) and on Firefox, Chrome & Edge and getting the same non-results.

Did anything new happen recently? TIY.

YouTube vids still Dling no problem with JDownloader for me. As soon as I copy the YT link from the address bar the downloads appear on my LinkGrabber page in JDownloader.

Have you tried adding the links manually? i.e. Copy YT link from adress bar, then go to the LinkGrabber tab in JDownloader, right click in the big open space and select Add New Links from the context menu. That has worked for me in the past when the automatic LinkGrabber doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the links used to load automatically for pepo too. but now they never load automatically & even when i try to load them manually nothing happens.

Maybe i should remove the program & then reinstall it. Might as well try the last resort first.

1) is the Clipboard Observer on?



If not check it.

2) In Settings/Account Manager you can add your YouTube account username and login cookie (to get the cookie you have to have a browser extension like Flag Cookies for Firefox)

3) In Settings/Plugins there are extensive Youtube settings

I do have clipboard observer ON. i have never figured out how to add my youtube login. I guess i should try adding Flag Cookies. pepo will try that & see if it helps.

Thank you.

(Then i will try step 3)

EDIT: Just added Flag Cookies for Firefox. Now trying to figure things out.

Tried all suggestions and pepo got it working again! Thank you Pad and xiandaniel!

Proof that the unintelligent & untalented can get things done if given excellent instructions!

So I have a HQCollect account and i'm trying to download a DVD series pack, which consists of multiple DVD files (VOBs, IFO and BUP).
The size of the whole package is almost 200 GB.
However, when I download the text file containing the download links from the site, and import them to JDownloader, Jdownloader only load 60 links out of 560, and the overall package size is of 27 GB, instead of 180 GB (as It should be).

I've been trying to import the download links list in other Download managers (FDM, IDM) as well, with the same problem. Can you recommend me a good download manager for these type of packages, or can you help me setting up JDownloader correctly, please?

I have no problem downloading megapacks with different video files from this site using JD. It's only DVD packs that have this problem (I believe JDownloader sees all the VOBs files as mirror links, instead of separate links).

Thank you.

Nevermind.

I managed to get a huge .zip file thanks to the ZIP option they have on the site (didn't knew they had one) and downloaded everything with IDM, as JD couldn't detect the zip link.

Thanks for the help!
