YouTube Movies Audio Only for YouTube Movies downloads

[jmduffer]

YouTube Movies analyzer only allows me to select audio. I've tried restarting the browser and StreamFab with no lock.

Using SF 6206 or 6207 ?

StreamFab 6.2.0.7 Changelog
Fix: A problem that certain videos are only downloaded as audio from YouTube.

Logged in YT ?

I'm using the YouTube Movies module but I am logged in. I even logged out and logged back in and did the same for all my browsers and I'm still getting audio only.

Without a sample i can't say why.
All DRM free videos works for me (age restricted or not) with 6206 and 6207.

But when DRM protected (like here) all old SF versions fail...
... and 6207 changed for me from “no analysis” to Audio only

And it don't work also with yt-dlp - with my log in cookie I get only:
"This content can't be played on your mobile browser. Get the YouTube app to start watching" (info + iOS player broken)

Suddenly, today, SttreamFab 6.2.2.5 stopped downloading YouTube movies and only has an Audio option. When trying to login I get an error message that the browser does not support Java. Went back to version 6.2.2.2 which always worked but now the same problem, everything on YouTube is Audio only.

I just tried several regular YouTube videos and movies from the movies with ads, and all worked. It's also possible this is connected to THIS.
I did initially get the Audio only options but closed and opened SF, made sure I was logged into YouTube and then all went fine.
Even to where some movies with ads came in at 1080P.

Although, I can't get closed caption on a movie with ads. ENG

#1 - SF will not download CC and/or srt and/or vtt.
#2 - A movie that downloaded fine yesterday now only shows as being able to download audio.
Otherwise, it can work and impressed it gets many now in 1080p, as before it would not.

This movie downloaded perfect yesterday other than NO cc and/or srt and/or vtt, but now only offers audio.


Other movies also tested get NO cc, at least not for English download, using srt or vtt or using the remux option.
Yet, as can see they ARE selected.

Note also YouTube movies and TV are DRM and only other YouTube DRM downloader I found was CG, and it did get the srt's.

Most other paid and free YouTube downloaders only handle the NONE DRM videos.

Also, note that a clean uninstall and re-install were done. Versions tested 6226 back to 6221.

There are ongoing issue(s) with YouTube, but the CC not downloading should work if another program gets them.

Additional notes: I closed and reopened SF, rebooted the computer, logged out and back into YouTube etc ...

ADDED, that fast. The first movie shown here now offers 1080p download. Again, this shows bugs in SF as, again, another downloader is working fine.

Confirmed. Google is playing games with their code again.

Tried to download Movie trailers on YT. SF is only able to download audio (after update. I don't know how to get back to last version before).

It's a change made by YT not by SF - so last SF Updates are irrelevant
