Still Can't Download Videos After Update #369

Open DuplexLake opened 2 weeks ago

DuplexLake commented 2 weeks ago

No matter what I do, keep getting this error and I can't download anything still, even after the 403 error was patched. Here is a list of the videos that could not be downloaded, and the reason why: Reason: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\DuplexLake\AppData\Local\Temp\YoutubePlaylistDownloader.-audio.mp4'.

What are you trying to download? Try running as administrator

I've tried administrator, and it's with any video I try do download.

I will also note, glad to send a video of the error if needed, so just let me know

shaked6540 commented 2 weeks ago

Send me a video, but also please tell me which OS you are running, and if you use 32bit or 64bit

I'm using windows 10 and I run the 64bit version of the software.

I meant a link to the video, not the actual video. Also if you can show me the settings you used

I don't get this error on my pc, how did you install the program? maybe something is missing, could you try reinstalling it? (use the installer from the main page)

Found the error and even a fix, while video is buggy, error that popped up was could not find a part of the path. After reinstalling didn't fix it, I went to temp data to see that for some reason YoutubePlaylistDownloader was a weirdly formatted file instead of a folder, after I made a folder with the same name it ended up working perfectly fine.

Please post a screenshot with the settings you are using.

I forgot to mention this. When YoutubePlaylistDownloader starts it will create a YoutubePlaylistDownloader sub-folder inside the temp directory, i.e., C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp\YoutubePlaylistDownloader. If you remove this sub-folder (e.g., you delete/cleanup the temp files via Disk Cleanup utility or by hand) while the application is running this temp sub-folder will not be recreated so you'll get an error when attempting to download anything. The application does not check if this folder exists before each download.

The only thing that is weird is that your path is also malformed (it's missing a backslash). Otherwise is the same error message.
