How to download mp3 from Youtube with fdm?

It would be good if fdm also gives the option to download subtitles if the Youtube video has subtitles.

I'm seeing the same behavior w/ v1513. Same URL as below results.
Log shows:
Media merge task has started
Media merge task failed

Is there a more detailed log somewhere in the product that I could include?

Thanks,
mrjlturner

Hmm... I've tried - works fine for me. What is the version of your FDM?
Please post the log of downloading here.

Version is the latest beta 1511.
Sorry cant post log as I tried it under Shadow Defender.

Could the prob be due to shadow defender or stable fdm as I did over install of beta under Shadow defender?

Thanks for the report. The bug will be fixed in the next update.

Search mirrors is unnecessary in my opinion. When downloading new files legal public, fails to find mirrors. Redundant and unnecessarily clutters function of the program.

Unfortunately, no. We'll think about adding a more detailed description.

Lacking the necessary proxy settings option in the program:
[] Do not use Proxy
[] Use proxy IE
[] HTTP Proxy:
{Field to enter the proxy}
[] SOCK Proxy:
{Field to enter the proxy}

We kindly ask all the users who helped us translate FDM from English to their native languages - to convert the language files they worked on to Unicode version. To do this, please open your language file in Windows Notepad and navigate to File - Save As ... . Then choose the Unicode format. Once saved - please send it to us the usual way. Thank you in advance!

You can try notepad++ and just change the character coding without switch for a new OS.

And, FDM Light 3.9.4.1982 with BT plugin can't handle magnet links properly.Sometime the magnet links will stuck with no information but minus numbers% in Downloaded cell.You can delete the download then create a new one till it succeed.

Last, feature request.I wonder if FDM can save Downloads settings for individual sites? This is because some sites only support 1 session, and some sites FDM doesn't handle referer properly.It'll be nice if I can just setting once for these sites in individual settings rather than change the current settings every time I try to download from one of them

I keep getting "You'll need to provide administrator permission to export/import settings." in the button on every flash video e.g. the one on this page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3Be-8mNjbo.
If I click the button, everything works as it should and FDM detects the download. Just that the "Download it" button is showing an incorrect name.

Yes, please:

1. Create a new environmental variable (instructions to create: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8):

Variable name: FFREPORT
Variable value: file=d\:/logs/ffmpeg_log.txt

- suppose you want to write ffmpeg log to 'd:\logs' folder. You can choose any folder, any filename.
Do not miss 'file=' at the beginning, and a backslash after a drive letter d\:



2. Create this folder if it does not exist (in my example, d:\logs)

3. Restart FDM and reproduce the problem "Media merge task failed". The log file will be created.

4. Post it here or mail to support@freedownloadmanager.org if it's too long.

Build 1514 is released.

Could you please give us some details? I.e. what torrent and what exactly files you tried to download.

I will find some *.torrent files that are currently seeded and send them to you by private mail.

Torrents sent. It seems there were mostly problems with magnet links and FDM builds up to 1472.

It's been already reported here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17016&start=15#p39936

SFN helper shows more clear info about available downloads. You can see at a first sight what files are without audio stream there. I'd like to see in FDM something like shown on picture below:



Notes:
1. Files without audio streams are displayed in blue color so users can see which ones they are without changing selection.
2. There is warning added below so users may learn about download and merging issues before clicking.
3. There are fields for group and folder selection reused from the standard "Add download" dialog window. I think that all "Add download" dialog windows should look like the standard one, there is no good explanation to omit any existing features.

SFN helper allows to choose which formats to use and which to hide.

Guest wrote:What I meant was, in the current alpha 5, when you try to download torrent, fdm shows list of files to select to download & then you can start to download.

FDM 5 is in alpha state and still buggy. When you see selection list, FDM 5 may already download files into the program folder in %ProgramFiles% which is strongly discouraged by Microsoft security guidance. The same may be for regular downloads when you try to select download folder or for settings conversion when running FDM for the first time (current 3.9.5 beta also creates Data subfolder in the program folder).
I haven't tested the latest FDM 5 build - if these issues are already fixed and you can choose to never show the file selection window, then it would be a good improvement.

Guest wrote:So this new beta gives the option like in alpha 5 for torrent i.e select files to download before starting download?

So this new beta works like all 3.x versions do. You can right click the download name on the list and select files to download.

This should be fixed in the current version.
