Did SF remove the ability to download YT playlists?

[Germania]

I had that issue at an earlier date, but since then I ensured that the firewall allowed the service through, so I'm not sure why it's showing as an issue?

My last BD Internet Security using was before SF ..
.. but I'm sure that YoutubeToMP3service.exe
is not the same as YoutubeToMP3process.exe
(two different Files)

YoutubeToMP3Service is blocked by Firewall ..


.. or any other "Security Tool" - see post #17

I did a fresh install of SF. I inputted the address you suggested. The download button remained greyed, and when I clicked it said no video could be found. Copying the address to trigger a download box only allowed the downloading of that specific video again, not the playlist.

Thank you all, here is what I did, I uninstalled. restarted, I then reinstalled but with the AV turned off for 10 minutes.
It is working on YT now and it also works when the AV is turned on for Real time protection.
So that allowed me to install it properly.
Thank you .

You may want to exclude the whole path to Streamfab if your antivirus is affecting it.

C:\Program Files\DVDFab\StreamFab

Most decent antivirus allow that and also have a quarantine or at least log what it quarantines, you can check that as well.

So what do I do? Delete it and reinstall? I honestly don't know what to do?

yes, reinstall the latest version using the offline installer

Here is my log.

You can't dl from yt because your SF is incomplete (Downloader missing)

The file may have been removed/blocked by a "security tool" - see here

if not work for you.. where is your StreamFab.log ?

[DonnaD]

Select the playlist you want to download and play the first video, after a minute or so the icon changes from grey to orange to let you do the download.

Unfortunately that's not the case for me. I've played well past the minute-mark and the download button remains greyed, in fact the video is still playing now at 3:36 and nada. I can download single videos without issue by copying the url from my browser, which triggers the download. My issue remains that I'm unable to download entire playlists like I used to be able to do.

What Germania needs is a Streamfab.log. This can be found at %HOMEPATH%/Documents/DVDFab/StreamFab/log

OR if not there go to SF and go to settings and find your log locations.


Do this all with SF closed, and then delete all the log files.
Then start SF and do what it takes for the issue to happen. Close SF and then attach the Streamfab.log to your post.

Only 'Trusted Member' can read logs and Germania is one.

I tend to think, because it's claimed SF is getting stuck at analyzing, that maybe you're not logged into YouTube via SF. OR it's a firewall and/or Anti-Virus issue. So while waiting for someone to read your log file, check and maybe even reset your Windows Firewall (Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Defender Firewall /\ Restore Defaults), and/or try a Network reset.

I just downloaded like 400+ YouTube small 10 to 20-minute videos. I also found out you need to take breaks if downloading many YouTube videos, you get the 403 forbidden. Furthermore, I waited about an hour and it cleared up. There was a message somewhere or a notice if downloading many videos, they temp block via IP.

Please post a sample - and best of all your StreamFab.log

Only with non residental IP (VPN/Proxy) I get 403 Forbidden (unchanged)

I am not sure how to do that
