Re: Jdownload

After that I would assume I could just right click a link, choose "Download Link" and it will get passed to the Jdownload docker instance, but it does not. Instead it asks me to install this 5 year old helper application (which Win11 thinks is malicious).
Edit: I installed the helper app (found one not as old), but I'm still unsure how to have the chrome plugin talk to the docker container. It errors that it's looking for an executable, but the executable isn't local to chrome, it's the docker container.
What I'm looking for is to get the right-click context menu in Jdownloader extension for Chrome to send the links directly to the docker instance. The Chrome extension does have the option "Remote Server" so I assume it *can* talk to the docker instance, but I'm just missing a piece of the puzzle - maybe some parameters on either client/server side. Is that possible or maybe it's just wishful thinking?
The problem was that the JDownloader plugin that I had downloaded was the incorrect one. Once I downloaded the correct one from the myjdownloader site =myjd_web , NOW it asks me for the user/pass for the cloud service. Now it works as expected: I right click a link, choose "Download with JDownloader" and it sends it to the cloud, then relays it to my connected server and adds it to the queue.
Almost perfect. I wish I didn't have to rely on the cloud service to make this happen. It would be better if this docker container had the "get" ports enabled, either 3129 or 9666 (I think) and then I could just point the browser extension directly and the local LAN IP and bypass the cloud MITM transaction.
Something change with this JDownloader (JD) docker container or RapidGator (RG) lately, or has anyone else noticed this? I frequently use RG because it is about the only one that would pop up the captcha in the docker WebGUI and so was easy to use. But lately (this week?) it has not been popping up the captcha window for me to fill, so it just times out after awhile instead. Wondering if something changed from RG that JD can't pop up the captcha anymore to fill out or if it is maybe something broke in JD (mine or in general).
Edit: Well luckily I was able to pull the captcha up in the MyJD app on my android phone. Weird though, as I've always been able to do the RG captchas right in the JD WebGUI in the past. Hopefully they are able to bring that back as the MyJD has not been the most reliable thing to use, but I'm glad it seems to be working today.
I do know about adding additional paths, which I've already done to have certain downloads go to a different output path. I would just ask if we could have a choice to change the main output path within the container (/output), as how some of the other setting fields have and "Edit" and "Remove" buttons to edit the path\port\etc... on the container side of things, to also avoid needlessly creating an "output" folder in the file system (call me a file system neat-freak) please.
How do you add mulit-hoster accounts (like real-debrid.com) to this JDownloader? When I try to add one it asks to load a browser window, which doesn't occur in the image... is there any way around this? Thanks.
I have a large number of lectures and videos from playlists that only make sense if you play them in order and I can't number each of a 1000 10 minute videos. How can I prepend the number in jdownloader to the name as in int-name. Is there another youtube downloader that has this setting built in?
Use the command jdownloader to start JDownloader. When you have just installed JDownloader, this will run the update tool to download some required files for JDownloader, else this will start JDownloader directly.
When you first start JDownloader you can choose your preferred language and also your download directory. On the next window, JDownloader will ask you if you want to install FlashGot, a Firefox extension, which is entirely optional.
By default jdownloader will create a subdirectory for each file you download in your destination folder. To stop this behaviour go to Settings > Packagiser and untick the predefined rules as desired.
Preferences for individual sites can be found by going to Settings > Plugins. For example, by changing settings on the youtube.com plugin you could tell jdownloader to only download the audio from YouTube links.
Minimize to tray is broken on Linux. You will run in problems like a little stray window appearing. Disable the feature altogether just to not accidentally run into it. For that, just unplug the checkbox in the settings.
Go to File Station and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it jdownloader2. Follow the instructions in the image below.
