I followed all instructions you claim work and I still get the error message about "something that went wrong" and if i have the client installed... I didn't miss anything during installation and I keep getting the same crappy error!!! Please provide a WORKING SOLUTION or a workaround for this or a decent alternative. Thank you.

Only support 1080 video, no audio

Dee Dee

perfetto

the old one was better, it was an easy 6/5 stars... I'm not having nearly the issues i'm reading in reviews here thankfully.

for me my biggest gripe is the lack of AAC audio usage when downloading MP4's which makes them unusable outside of my computer. disabling the feature to use OPUS when mixing webM makes no difference in the MP4's still using the codec. with the old version i could download the MP4 and get an MP4 file instead of a MKV that nothing outside of computers play...

EDIT2: I'm not really sure why people are having trouble with AAC, for me everything works just as expected o.O

EDIT: Got it to work! (It didn't want to mux automatically before) 5-stars for now as I have not found any other issues with it! It works just like the old version from what I can tell.

Pro-tip: In the settings where it asks you for the 'ffmpeg' path, make sure to write out the whole path to the .exe (like "C:\Users\[REDACTED]\Downloads\ffmpeg\ffmpeg-20171115-ff8f40a-win64-static\bin\ffmpeg.exe"), and not just to the folder itself.

Also, about that: Maybe a small piece of text making this completely clear could be inserted somewhere in the settings menu? (Since it isn't very clear right now what is meant exactly.) :)

YouTube updated internal file system (JSON format). Automatic uploaders are no longer able to function.

Ich nutze You Tube janur auf dem Desktop unter windows 7 im firefox aber er ist You Tube ist stabil.

Heartbroken. The old version worked perfectly. The new version won't save to my desired YouTube Download folder path, and will not extract mp3 audio despite manually typing in the path to FFMpeg. Any chance on updating the old version that worked?

Love it. Does exactly what I want, and even has a visually pleasing interface.

best and best of best

Thanks for the add-on just wondering why isn't it possible to use more popular audio formats such as mp3, for example ? The thing is, my phone can't play mp4 audio or webm.

I will repeat what many others have repeated. I couldn't say it better than Anonymous user c94bff said 15 hours ago:

The old version let me do what I want to do, which is download the video and the extracted audio. It also REMEMBERS where I last saved a video/audio combination, so I don't have to keep traipsing around my hard drive to find the place to download.

WHY would you take a perfectly good program and break it so that it is only useful to complete tech-heads? It was fine before. It did what needed to be done. I have fiddled with this new version for about an hour now. I am done. GDit. I am so tired of having to go find alternate versions of things after the good version is broken by "improvements." What is wrong with "you people"?

The instructions say:
1. After installation, go to the options page and
-> 1. Install the native client (This is a small NodeJS client written by @andy_portmen)
-> 2. Install the FFmpeg executable
2. FFmpeg integration is required if high resolution video or audio files are preferred.
My questions are:
Where do I find the options page?
What is FFmpeg integration and how is it done?

This new version is a disaster to install and get it to run and it doesn't remember its last download location. I've chosen the option to not download audio, and the first thing it does is prompt me with a location to download an aac file. It's lacking a lot of customizable options Please do something about this, the previous version worked like a charm. This works like a nightmare.

Not clear on how to make it work. Options menu never shows.

I will REPEAT what many others have said.....................
