My memory is a bit rusty because it's been a while, but apparently version 1.0beta should work on Java 11. If you're using 0.9u4, could you please try 1.0beta? This is what you should use in any case, sorry that it's not on the main download page.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
This is a weird issue, it's probably because FRD (and the libraries it's using) is so old that it doesn't work with Java 11. Which Java version are you using on Windows? Is it possible for you to use Java 8 on Mint? (OpenJDK 8 is fine)by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
Can you attach app.log from the VitySoft\FRD folder after getting both of these errors?by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
You can find the source code in the SVN repository (username/password: wordrider/wordrider).by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
You remember correctly. The feature is still there, but the YouTube API has probably changed and the plugin hasn't been updated.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
Yes, File > Import links from fileby ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
The plugins are stored in the config folder (%APPDATA%\VitySoft\FRD), just copy that over.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
It should automatically replace invalid characters with an underscore. Which website/plugin is the file you're attempting to download?by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
Yes, I haven't tested it in many years, but it should be in File > Import links from file.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Tips&Tricks
I believe FRD 1.0 beta should also work with OpenJDK:by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
Can you go to Options > Use Connections and make sure "Default" is checked?by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
Yes, the plugin currently takes the file name from the page title. I might see if there is a better location on the page. The problem is that it's not consistent between different videos. There's a lot of old code in the plugin that tries to find a good file name, but it probably doesn't work since the site was updated.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
Plugin v2.2.1 should work for these types of links too.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
I updated the plugin (v2.2.0). It works for at least the links I found. If you find some types of links that do not work, please post them here and I can take a look.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
Thank you, I updated the official plugin (v1.7.1) according to the changes posted in this thread.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
In that case, when the captcha window is about to be displayed, FRD will attempt to run the command defined in "list_top_windows" at the bottom of syscmd.properties to list all open windows to determine if any of the specified windows are open. This command is empty by default (because the appropriate command depends on which desktop environment you have). This results in IllegalArgumentExceptionby ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
This seems to have something to do with the Quiet Mode feature, which requires you to configure the "list_top_windows" command at the bottom of syscmd.properties before it can work on Linux. I'm not sure why it doesn't fail more gracefully though. I think you can also just disable Quiet Mode somewhere in Preferences?by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
v1.0.15 should work again.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
v2.9.20 should now support non-DASH formats I think. Can you test it?by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
I fixed it for now (v2.9.19) because I need to download stuff from youtube myself.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
I moved it to General Unfortunately we haven't really been able to test FRD on Mac for many years. Hopefully you can figure out how to make it work reasonably well.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
The videos which cannot be downloaded use Widevine DRM. Unfortunately I don't think we can ever download videos that use that kind of DRM.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
I don't know why they use DRM for some videos and not others. They probably consider some videos more important to protect than others. Client side DRM is a fundamentally flawed concept, so technically it would probably be possible to circumvent Widevine. However, it is specifically designed to make that very difficult. Many services like Amazon Video, BBC, Hulu, Netflix and Spotify all use Wiby ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
I already answered in another thread that these videos are protected with Widevine DRM which we can probably never support.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
It seems that the videos that cannot be downloaded are protected with Widevine DRM. I'm not sure if we can ever support that unfortunately.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
Plugin v1.0.14 should work again.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
I finally got around to fixing the plugin... There were two separate minor issues, so it was a bit frustrating to debug. Plugin v2.9.18 should work again.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
Yes, the latest versions of IDEA and JDK will work fine. Although you might need to compile in Java 7 or 8 mode.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
I think it should work if you run "java -jar frd.jar" where "java" is in the directory you just downloaded and "frd.jar" is in the FRD directory.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
OpenJDK 8 should be pretty much identical to Oracle Java 8, so it should work fine. (There was a difference between the two in earlier versions of Java.) I guess you could try it anyway to see if it makes a difference. This cycling between waiting attempts, which you are now experiencing, might be a plugin issue though.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
