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.

Re: Ceska televize - ivisilani přestal fungovat - 1 year ago

Plugin v2.2.1 should work for these types of links too.

Re: Ceska televize - ivisilani přestal fungovat - 1 year ago

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.

Re: Java IllegalArgumentException:Empty command on Linux - 1 year ago

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 IllegalArgumentException

Re: Java IllegalArgumentException:Empty command on Linux - 1 year ago

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?

Re: Youtube Plugin Failing Constantly - 2 years ago

v2.9.20 should now support non-DASH formats I think. Can you test it?

Re: Youtube Plugin Failing Constantly - 2 years ago

I fixed it for now (v2.9.19) because I need to download stuff from youtube myself.

Re: Java exceptions ("Call to Steve Jobs ...") in MacOS 10.14.6 - 3 years ago

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.

Re: iVysilani Ceske Televize - does not work for some videos - 3 years ago

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.

Re: Ceskatelevize.cz Longer videos problem (urgent) - 3 years ago

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 Wi

Re: Ceskatelevize.cz Longer videos problem (urgent) - 3 years ago

I already answered in another thread that these videos are protected with Widevine DRM which we can probably never support.

Re: ivysilani Ceska Televize - 3 years ago

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.

Plugin v1.0.14 should work again.

Re: Youtube Plugin Failing Constantly - 3 years ago

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.

Re: Plugin developers wanted - 4 years ago

Yes, the latest versions of IDEA and JDK will work fine. Although you might need to compile in Java 7 or 8 mode.

Re: App began frozing and debug output ends at "INFO: Extracting GZIP" - 4 years ago

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.

Re: App began frozing and debug output ends at "INFO: Extracting GZIP" - 4 years ago

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.

Re: App began frozing and debug output ends at "INFO: Extracting GZIP" - 4 years ago

Hmm, this is a weird issue. Could you try if it still occurs on FRD 1.0 beta?

Re: ITV.com Plugin Not working - 4 years ago

It is difficult for me to debug this issue as I'm not based in the UK and ITV is not available here. Could you attach the log file after this error? You can find the log from Help > Browse to log file.

It works for me. Maybe it was a temporary server issue?

Re: facebook plugin: sound issue - 4 years ago

Please try plugin v1.2.7. It should now download the SD version if the HD version does not have audio. I'm not sure if it works 100% correctly.

Re: Youtube - problem with mp3 conversion - 4 years ago

The youtube plugin uses an MP3 encoder that is written in Java (jump3r) to convert audio to MP3. It does not always work very well as you may have noticed. Developers are always welcome. The source code is available at (username/password wordrider for read-only access). If you have any patches, you can post them. If you want to develop more, we can possibly give you a proper SVN account.
