Can't download full playlist

Post by Scott »

Hello.
Downloaded the program and bought the add on. I'm trying to download a playlist on youtube, in 1080p. Successive attempts have allowed me to download some of the videos but others stall, and/or do not download at all.

Can I do anything to ensure they all download?

Regards.

I too have the add-on package (activated) and cannot download complete playlists, usually no more than about 30 go into the queue.

Running version 6.50

Count me in, I'm having the same issue.

Whenever I try to download a medium or big sized playlist from YT, it misses a lot of the links, and some are not correctly detected, so I have to open the link manually (from the thumbnail shown in ChrisPC VTD), go back to the browser (Chrome), copy the address (so CPCVTD catches the link), and then it downloads correctly.

This is a problem since many of the playlist/channels I need to download are big, usually dozens or even hundreds of videos at the same time and I can't go one by one in such big lists.
By the way, I tried a huge list a few times (5000+ videos), the program took hours to scan through the list, but only a few were actually added, is there a known (or not) issue regarding huge lists?

I'll give one example: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL ... Fg5-1EZoaA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It contains 120 videos, but only 50 are loaded to CPCVTD when I right click on the address.
Maybe it's because some are in russian language or something else related to character sets in the way the scripts in the program processes the list?

I'll love to hear from the Support team

Thanks for any advise.

Specs: AMD Phenom II X6 CPU, AMD/ATI 3000+5450 Video, 4Gb RAM, Win XP x86 SP3 updated, many Tb of free HDD, no proxy, 2Mbps internet.

YouTube made some changes. We'll check to find a fix.

Please post other playlists with more than 100 items, that you have problems with.

Thanks for your answer, these are some of the playlists that don't download more than 50 videos:

http://www.youtube.com/user/oldfrinx/playlists" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; : this is a huge one, it contains all of this YT member's playlists, a total of 5953 videos.... I really don't expect the program to handle this list easily due to it's size, but I did try however. It listed 1600 videos approximately, but many failed to download.

Other playlists with more rational amounts of videos are: (all from the same YT channel)

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=LL ... x05pPXB16w" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (88 videos)

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL ... dHBAfsNQH_" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (99 videos)

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL ... d4FGQtOCdk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (169 videos)

The list could go on and on..... any of them loads only 50 videos per list.... there must be something going on in the program when it reaches that number, but with the first link it loaded about 1600 of the almost 6000.

I removed/reinstalled the latest version of CPC VTD, still same results.

Got the updated file and it seems to be working, at least it did with one playlist of 122 videos of which it only missed a few, will try with a longer list as time and bandwidth permits and will post the results soon.
Thank you Chris.!
