How come that I don't get sound with the downloads

[Meme]

Hi,

I have two questions:

I don't get anymore sound, just the visual of the downloaded videos, no matter what download I choose. This is since about 1 to 2 weeks. I haven't made any changes concerning the settings.

I am using Windows 10, Firefox and want to download for instance this video (amongst others): https://faithhopeandcancerfilm.com/live

I would also like to ask why my computer starts making a racket when downloading with VDH. It didn't used to.

Thank you

One possibility is that you changed VDH setting parameter "DASH streams" to "Video only". It should be "Aggregate Audio and Video"

Or maybe your player does not support the audio codec. Try with VLC https://videolan.org/

Sorry i don't understand.

Thanks for replying

No, I didn't change the VDH setting parameter. It is still on Dash chunked streaming enabled and on Aggregate Audio and Video.

I just downloaded something else and the sound worked there. What else could it be that with some it works with others it doesn't?

And what would I do with the VLC? Is that a different version of a downloader?

Concerning my second question: whilst the videos get downloaded the computer seems to work so hard that it's fan comes on or something works so hard that it makes quite a loud noise. This is not constant but on and off during the download. Could there be a process involved which could make the computer work extra hard? is it may be the aggregation? My husband is afraid that the computer gets damaged because of it.

An audio/video file is in a particular format (MP4, WEBM, MKV, AVI, ...) and contains an audio and a video stream. Each of these streams is encoded in a particular format (video: h264, vp9, ..., audio: aac, vorbis). It is not uncommon that a particular player doesn't know how to deal with a particular encoding. For instance, if your player doesn't handle Vorbis and this encoding is used in the file, it will play the video without the sound.

VLC is a player, an application that displays to the screen and sends to the speakers the content of an audio/video file. VLC is a good and free player, known to support almost any format and encoding.

Concerning my second question: whilst the videos get downloaded the computer seems to work so hard that it's fan comes on or something works so hard that it makes quite a loud noise. This is not constant but on and off during the download. Could there be a process involved which could make the computer work extra hard? is it may be the aggregation?

The aggregation takes CPU, in particular without a registered version because the video stream is re-encoded (this is how you get the watermark). With a registered version, there is generally no video re-encoding, which takes ~100 times less CPU.

Can you share a specific video page URL ?

 Thanks for the link, it is useful.

On this site, VDH only sees the individual chunks of video or audio, but is not able to reconstruct a monolithic MP4 file out of these, like it does for HLS or DASH streamings, because the site seems to use a proprietary streaming method. I hope we will be able to find a pattern for being able to handle those sites in the future, but for now, there is nothing VDH can do.
