J^HOT^ Downloader ^HOT^ Download Without Folder
Isadora Rimbey
For people who might have the same problem in near/far future, this is the solution: When Ubuntu or whatever is installing "Jdownloader 2 beta", it automatically creates a folder in "home" destination. So:
I have trouble to run Jdownloader2 on one system (laptop and older desktop work perfect). I did a fresh installation from AUR and when I select Jdownloader from the Applications/Internet menu, I see that java starts - but no Jdownloader GUI is showing up.
If I open a terminal in .jd folder and run java -jar JDownloader.jar I see that one instance of Jdownloader is running.
What can I do to debug this further?
(It may be a misconfiguration in java, I tried to install Arduino and also no reaction after selecting the app)
Best Regards, Andreas
I'll close this thread now since I've found a solution. I downloaded the desktop app and synced the shared folder onto my computer. I also upgraded to Dropbox Plus but I'm not sure if that's required. Anyways, thanks for the suggestions, Jay.
I think ffmpeg may have been installed via the Q4OS welcome screen / Install Proprietary Codecs or possibly during one of the Desktop Profilers I tried: I originally tried the Full feature Desktop but it failed (even after waiting for a substantial time between attempts, as advised), a few times..., then I successfully ran the Basic Q4OS Desktop which probably suits me better anyway. I'm guessing how ffmpeg came to be installed because I know I didn't directly install it myself until I had issues with jdownloader. I;m guessin 'cos I'm a Q4OS noob, maybe one of you more seasoned users can enlighten me?
Note: as jdownloader has the dependency on ffmpeg (to convert the video when a different variant is chosen to download), I always made sure that ffmpeg was installed prior to installing jdownloader... kinda common sense.
I have one last method to try which is to install JDownloader 2 Adware-free Setup (JDownloader2Setup_unix_nojre.sh) from the offical jdownloader.org/jdownloader2 download page (using the linux variant of course). I'll update this entry with the results.
Turns out it was the simplest of issues... the dialogue was not being displayed comletely so I couldnt see the option to click on a button to install ffmpeg.
If you look at the two attachments on the original post the jdownloader2-ffmpeg-missing-dialogue-cropped.png image shows how the dialogue presented to me and the jdownloader2-ffmpeg-missing-dialogue.png shows how it should have looked.
I ran through it so many times, not being able to see where to click until for some reason I decided to tro to move the dialogue and low and behold it "popped out" so I could see the button.
JDownloader is a free and open-source powerful download manager written in Java. It allows you to download files from the internet quickly and easily. With JDownloader, you can manage your downloads from a single, centralized location without dealing with different downloader applications.
Note: Downloading videos from Youtube (without permission) is against the Youtube terms of service. It is considered a violation and can result in account termination or even legal action. Keep in mind that downloading copyrighted content is not legal.
By default, JDownloader is set up to automatically extract all commonly compressed file types, including zip, rar, and 7zip. The software saves these extracted files in a folder created for each download. But still, you can also manually configure the extraction settings based on your preferences.
Most of these methods will work, but if you have already started downloading multiple videos, editing link grabber wont help: here's a quick workaround; first, place your cursor on downloads tab, press control A, mark all files, press and hold control key while left clicking on one of the plus signs (this should drop down all folders) then go to the bottom screen; you'll find a search box to find files jdownloader is handling, type one of the other existing formats you don't want: e.g (m4a) it should highlight everything that contains that file type, move cursor back to the downloads tab, left click on any of the files, press control A again then right click on any of the highlighted files: this should bring out some options, next, select disable, there you go.. it should stop downloading that file type now. Repeat for others file types as needed and leave only the file type you want.
You can go to the directory /opt/rockstor and create a new folder called rockons-metastore,
after this you have to create a new file called jdownloader2.json and copy all the text from my last post.
So, after a month of using JDownloader on an unprotected system, allowing it to auto-update whenever it liked, there were no infections found. Although a little redundant after performing a full file-system scan, I decided to perform a selective scan of the JDownloader folder, here are the results:
