i use Xubuntu 20.04 and recently i installed Videomass (3.3.7) by PIP, using the command at https://pypi.org/project/videomass/

after installing Videomass, the program appears in my application menu (as it should), but not in Synaptic .. as far as i know, this is normal when using PIP .. i prefer using Synaptic, because i think this application manager is stable and trustworthy, it keeps track of all applications on the OS and their dependencies .. however, Videomass was not in the Synaptic list, so i chose the PIP(3) method .. nowadays also the 'Snap' install method is often used, which makes things more unclear to me ..

on your website i see that a PPA can be used. That's nice : this way Videomass can be installed and updated by Synaptic. However, after adding the PPA, Synaptic has Videomass (v3.3.7-1) in its list but it seems NOT installed !? Probably this is due to my PIP installation. Is Synaptic not aware of PIP installations ? If so, this is annoying and can give an unstable OS, if you ask me .. am i wrong ? And what about Snaps then ?

When i mark the newer v3.3.7-1 version in Synaptic, i see this window :

here, also youtube-dl is listed .. i had some trouble with that : recently i had multi youtube-dl versions on my OS and i had to de-install and cut-out all of it before installing (only) the newest youtube-dl version. That's why i cancelled : i did NOT yet install Videomass by Synaptic .. what should i do ? First uninstall Videomass by (un)PIP ? What is the proper way in general ? I'm confused ..

see ytdl-org/youtube-dl#16175

Since the youtube_dl.YoutubeDL module does not yet have a "stop" function in the progress_hook, to interrupt the process on Videomass you have to wait for the end of the download in progress. This is very boring for me.

Solution: To avoid this tedious limitation, use youtube-dl as an executable file: Videomass menu bar > Settings > Preferences > youtube-dl > and select: "Use a local copy of youtube-dl".

This makes it possible to effectively abort the current state of the ongoing process using the Abort button.

I quickly tested Videomass current release -- as reported at www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25558 -- and regret to report that it isn't really portable, at least in Windows.

Thus, if ran out of an USB drive, Videomass settings will be left behind after the drive is disconnected and taken elsewhere.

I am hereby requesting a workaround to keep everything inside the program folder (for instance, in an 'appdata' sub-folder if a parameter is passed at start up or a portable signaling file is found)...

Thanks for your consideration.

When run in Windows under user with spaces in profile name (made by Windows itself, derived from user name), Videomass 3.3.8 cannot open any folder including configuration folder. Any attempt ended up with two same errors: 'Unable to open folder :\Users<first part of the profile name>'.
Videomass apparently doesn't works properly with file paths which can by definition contains also whitespaces.

Clicking on the Help menu > Check for newer version I get ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 3).

im trying to understand if there is a way to open a dialog for "open video file" instead of dragging and dropping files on the window?

it seems unusual and very few software ive used only allows for adding a file to the software by dragging it onto the window

By moving the same app to multiple PCs, relative paths would make it more portable without having to reset some paths manually.

It was talked about on https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=101779#p101779

Hello,

While downloading videos with version 3.5.0 a console window flashes several times during the download (it was just for a second so I could not take a screen-shot). While using version 3.4.6 no console window appears while downloading at all. Can you confirm this? This is is not a big issue but I don't think this is supposed to happen, right?

On a side note I think that Videomass version 3.5.0 cannot use the settings created by version 3.4.6, right?

Regards

Hello,

When exiting Videomass it shows a warning message:

Are you sure you want to exit?

screen:

Hitting Enter or clicking Yes is not a big deal but for me it is annoying since when I exit a program I usually want to do it. Also, changing program settings requires to restart the program so I have to hit Enter time and again to exit Videomass when I need to restart it when I change the settings.

My suggestion, a new check box:

• Warn on exit

The check box may be put in Appearance tab (Settings -> Preferences -> Appearance) and it may be selected by default. I just want to be able to disable this warning message.

Regards

when downloading (all) the videos of a NUMBER OF playlists, it would be handy to auto-create a subfolder to save all videos of the concerning playlist !? Its name could be according to the playlist title. Then you could add a checkbox in preferences to enable this feature.

If I change the temporary conversion folder in settings tab and I select a folder in my external drive I receive the following error:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to A/V Conversions
2. Select a video file
3. Go to settings tab
4. Choose a folder of an external drive
5. Go to Convert using FFmpeg

I would love to have some indication of how long the process will take and how many frames per second are processed.

I get KeyError: 'filesufix'
I solve the problem by adding 'filesuffix'

On MacOs High Sierra the Videomass.app start with success with double click, but there are issues not yet resolving specially when call subprocess.popen with these parameters:

Example:
cmnd = [ffprobe_link, '-show_format', '-show_streams', '-v', 'error', mediafile]
p = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, universal_newlines=True, )
output, error = p.communicate()

It seems that the app does not find the binaries of ffmpeg, ffprobe and ffplay corretly installed in the system with brew. It is quite frustrating to see, however, that with open Videomass.app command it works perfectly.
The problem is analogous to this:

another issue i encountered twice today : while downloading all (!) videos of a large playlist (about 500 items), the process suddenly ended with many errors :

finally only 8 videos were downloaded, about 11 Gb (!) in total, and in both cases the process took several hours .. it started with downloading an "Access Token" :

i suspect the Access Token was expired after some time .. maybe this is a bug : you could try to download a new Access Token when this happens, but i have no clue why such error would occur ..

I updated Videomass from version 3.4.2 to version 3.4.5 and I discovered YouTube Downloader module no longer works. Any time I try to download a video I get the following error:

Also, when I try to use this command:

I get the following error:

screen:

When I use version 3.4.2 the downloads complete just fine.

When I go to:

and try to open the embedded link:

it redirects to:

I am using Videomass on Windows 8 x64 and I have installed Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package 2010 version 10.0.40219.325 both x86 and x64 releases.

So for the time being I have to downgrade to Videomass version 3.4.2 which works for me.

Your portable exe. Maybe you know that, maybe not? I'm afraid to run your app!

Hello, thanks for making an AppImage. However, it does not run with Firejail. Its top-level directory is root-owned and permissions are set not to be readable by anyone else.

Can you please set 0755 as the permissions for the top-level (AppDir) directory?
Please reply here if something should be unclear.

Thank you very much.

I am very sorry and angry about this, hope it will be fixed soon.

The download links for version 3.4.5 both windows and mac end on a 404 page.

Switching between "Best quality video" and "Worst quality video" during the combo box selection, gives incorrect values and leads to a "Request format is not available" error.
This kind of error occurs when the "default" setting and the "Download splitted audio and video" setting are selected.

Solution:

replace

VQUALITY = {('Best quality video'): ['', ''],

with

VQUALITY = {('Best quality video'): ['best', 'best'],

on youtubedl_ui.py file.

I have this problem whatever settings I use with 2 pass will always give error.

Ratecontrol_init: can't open stats file

The only solution I found is to add after the video codec
-strict -2 -passlogfile /tmp/location

On Mac it is working ok without adding the extra line.

Any ideea?
Thanks

When I try to start VideoMass I am getting an Error popup

'The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll is missing'

Why?

i only find a PPA for Ubuntu 20.xx .. do you support Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 ? Or should i compile & install Videomass myself for this Ubuntu version ?

how to use Videomass portable for Windows?

When using youtube-dl to download a youtube video with Japanese text in the title, only the non Japanese text is saved for the file title when saved.

I installed the (latest) version 3.3.7 by pip.
In the past days I used this Videomass extensively and i wrote notes.
Here are some bugs (i hope i'm right and you can reproduce them), and also ideas and tips.

=====

the layout of some Videomass Wizard screens is wrong (at my Xubuntu 20.04 with XFCE) : the texts are longer and not fully visible :

=====

very nice : the original date-time stamp of a video file is preserved !

======

very nice : all downloaded video files of a playlist have the index number as a prefix, and when more than 9 videos are downloaded the index number has two digits, so the file list can be sorted alphabetically. Indeed this is good practice. (I assume the same happens when more then 99 videos are downloaded, then each prefix index number should have 3 digits -- i did not test this)

======

while downloading many playlists (one by one) with Videomass, i encountered something strange.
Eg. a YouTube playlist had 35 videos and the log message indeed showed "[youtube:tab] playlist Ancient Aliens in Cambodia: Downloading 35 videos", but only 34 were processed .. one was missing, showing this log message :

[youtube] ugpPeoK7nzw: Downloading webpage
[Videomass]: SUCCESS !
Done downloading, now converting ...

So, here the line "[download] Destination: ..." was missing.

i examined this and i discovered the concerning playlist has two videos which are exactly the same : same title, same duration, same thumbnail, even same URL (!? /watch?v=...&list=...) only the index= differs !? Maybe Videomass detected the video was already downloaded .. i wonder if this is a YouTube bug or the playlist owner uploaded the same video twice ..

=====

IDEA : option : include the (YouTube) video ID in the file name .. some video downloaders have this option .. you could create a checkbox for this.

======

here is a video which had troubles, it could not be downloaded .. it's from the playlist "Singapore" from the YouTube channel of Praveen Mohan :

Halloween at Singapore - Fright Nites 4D Adventureland 2014
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrMdAPql9-A&list=PLxcxfvUxdiDSOOXMwm8ELmclI9vppTmal&index=7

this part of the log is relevant :

[youtube] UrMdAPql9-A: Downloading MPD manifest
ERROR: giving up after 0 retries
[Videomass]: FAILED !

luckily, the download addon of SaveFrom.net, for FireFox & Chrome, shows some info in its tooltip while hovering over the selectbox option "mp4 720 HD" (best quality of this video) which has a red exclamation mark : "Unable to get the file size. Please try again." .. I guess this might give some insight why Videomass failed .. however, the SaveFrom addon has a second "mp4 720 HD" option, which i used to download that video.

same with the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_8lfblCwhI :

[youtube] Q_8lfblCwhI: Downloading webpage
[youtube] Q_8lfblCwhI: Downloading js player f6ef8aad
[youtube] Q_8lfblCwhI: Downloading js player f6ef8aad
[youtube] Q_8lfblCwhI: Downloading MPD manifest
ERROR: giving up after 0 retries
[Videomass]: FAILED !

=====

the error "giving up after 0 retries" and "[Videomass]: FAILED !" remains while downloading some files .. i had this experience with some BitChute videos, eg. :

**URL 1/1 : "https://www.bitchute.com/video/dZFgwbzEBbS4/?list=notifications&randomize=false"
[BitChute] dZFgwbzEBbS4: Downloading webpage
[BitChute] dZFgwbzEBbS4: Checking video URL
[download] Destination: /home/roelof/Downloads/ALCYON_PLEIADES_104_-_VACCINE_REFUSAL_DEATHS_EFFECTS_GLOBAL_RESISTANCE_AGENDA_21_GROWING_PROTESTS.mp4
ERROR: giving up after 0 retries
[Videomass]: FAILED !

[Videomass]: completed, but not everything was successful.**

The Downloading stops at some % (shown at the bottom of the log window) and a file remains in the download folder, called (filename).mp4.part .. when clicking the 'Download' button again, the download is resumed! So, this is a manual 'retry' .. the first time i tried this, the video file was succesfully completed ! (i don't know if this will happen everytime with a BitChute video, this platform is a bit buggy). You could mention this 'manual retry / resume' option for the user by some message, or you could code an auto-retry : not "giving up after 0 retries".

=====

the text of the checkbox "Download all playlist" could better be "Download all videos in playlist"

=====

when i click "Abort" while downloading a playlist, the status bar shows a yellow message that the process is being aborted .. after a (rather) long time a purple message comes "[Videomass]: Interrupted Process !" but it seems ALL videos WERE STILL downloaded !?

=====

when a URL like https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLdT3OotRiHJmYYfi904rgcmbnsVkH4IwY&index=3 is given (here the "v=[videoID]" parameter is missing), i would expect ONLY the 3rd (index=3) video of that playlist is downloaded, but ALL videos are downloaded !?

=====

when i give the URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyue2X1ho0U , which is just that 3rd video of that playlist, the checkbox "Download all playlist" can be checked. Then a playlist folder structure is created but only the single video is downloaded : Videomass does not know this video belongs to a playlist, and the playlist folder name is "NA" (from title "N/A") .. this is understandable, but i think in this case it's handy and logical to GRAY OUT that checkbox ..

=====

when i give a playlist URL like https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdT3OotRiHJkyvJNPsY37Auj_N_6Jzq0o (which has 16 videos now) the title column of the Youtube Downloader window shows "N/A" : the name of the concerning playlist is not retrieved, however the created playlist folder structure DOES have the proper name ..

=====

in the Youtube Downloader window, the URL list has a checkbox next to each item .. what does it do?
If i do NOT check it, the video / playlist is still downloaded !?

=====

so, indeed you created a playlist folder structure ! : a folder which has the name of the concerning playlist, and a subfolder which has the name of the (YouTube) user .. that's nice, but i think the folder / subfolder structure should be switched !?

I mean
[download] Destination: /home/roelof/Downloads/Custom_Chess_Position_Challenge/Eric_Rosen/05 - Missing_Both_Rooks.mp4
should better be
[download] Destination: /home/roelof/Downloads/Eric_Rosen/Custom_Chess_Position_Challenge/05 - Missing_Both_Rooks.mp4

=====

during download and convert of all playlist videos, the log list keeps growing and it auto-scrolls nicely, so we always see the last processed file .. but after all videos are processed, the auto-scroll is NOT fully done : the final message "[Videomass]: Successfully completed !" is not visible. This is a minor bug, but a bit annoying ..

due to changes mentioned previously for dependency versions not available in bionic:
#18

[Python >= 3.7.0]
[wxPython-Phoenix >= 4.0.7]
[PyPubSub >= 4.0.3]

etc

it may be prudent to stop updating the PPA for bionic version

videomass v3.5.5 and v3.5.6 will fail dependencies

wxpython 4.0.7 cannot be installed
where the previous version can be
python3-wxgtk4.0_4.0.1+dfsg-2_amd64.deb
vs
python3-wxgtk4.0_4.0.7+dfsg-2build1_amd64.deb
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python3-wxgtk4

also because this is not avail to bionic
python3-pubsub_4.0.3-4_all.deb
this is a package from focal
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python3-pubsub

reverting to the version
python3-videomass_3.5.3-1_all.deb
with the patches NewRef #52
everything works fine

unless you intend to supply these backports to bionic on the PPA
or inform the user that they will need to manually compile them or find backported sources elsewhere

note this doesnt effect the appimage released here
Videomass-3.5.6-x86_64.AppImage
this works fine in bionic. and has nothing to do with the PPA versions

im making this issue here because you are the maintainer of the PPA
good luck! thanks for support

Hello @jeanslack

The main thing for users that can/will not use the FFmpeg code is to add presets voor NVENC.
If you need to have these tested I can help as I have a Nvidia GPU.
For me this is not a issue as I prefer to make my own presets but I can imagine the average user does want to use the build in presets.

Cheers,
J.

Hi,
I am using Videomass for a while now. Good job really! I was using the v3.3.8, no problem there. Since the version3.5.0, I cannot download certain videos. I tried the new version tonight and got the same exception. I get this when it start:

I use the portable version on Windows 10 (21H1).
What kind of informations do you need to look into that?

I just tried to download some video from worldtruthvideos.org and i get this strange error : "File name too long" !

when a Videomass preference would be different, i.e. the file-name-max-length, could this video have been downloaded ?

some more info about his case : using F12 in the browser i see the video is simply embedded by a container, having a normal src attribute : https://worldtruthvideos.org/upload/videos/2021/03/xnQAUnVsrb2jGS89JbtL_04_ab71ca91095ad3dd33f448ba00fb0db5_video.mp4 .. so i think Videomass should be able to download it .. only the file name (derived from the video title) should be truncated !?

It's a bizar exception ..

This issue affects MacOS only and it also happened with previous versions of High Sierra when I used MacOS Lion.

This problem can occur in three specific cases:
1- Can not find the configuration file
2- Videomass2: Outdated configuration file
3- Videomass2: corrupt configuration file

To determine exactly what the error message is, I recommend starting the application with the terminal window:

• View the application content (right click into Videomass2.app)
• Go to the /Content/MacOS folder
• Open the terminal and drag the Videomass file into the terminal window, then press the enter key.
• See the messages that appear on the terminal.

The error occurs in the relative thread of ffplay_file.py (but also in new libraries that use ffplay, i.e. ffplay_url and ffplay_url_lib), see vdms_threads directory.

The error code is given by p.returncode:

/usr/bin/ffplay: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/ffplay: undefined symbol: SDL_SetYUVConversionMode

Since the packaging is done with pyinstaller, youtube-dl is not included as a third-party package because it is not yet possible for me (at least not easy) to make updates within a freezed application.

For now this feature is disabled and I'm not sure yet whether to continue using the youtube-dl executables (youtube-dl.exe for Windows) or include the youtube-dl package.

Hello,
I absolutely love this program!
I already wrote a review on videohelp.com as it was in my opinion not fairly rated.
It would be even more perfect if there is a possibility you would consider to implement an option to automatically delete the encoded file (orginal) to the trashbin (so not permanently) after a successful encoding.
Futhermore and can only say, keep up the excellent work!! and thnx in advance for considering my request.
Bye

A bug was found when resetting the video filters on AV-Conversions, which assigns an incorrect value to the dictionary, ie:
self.opt ["VFilters"] = "", ""
instead of

why ZERO retries? Processing this video failed, but some file remained in the download folder : its name ends with ".mp4.part" but the file is corrupt .. it could have been deleted !?

Install on Mageia 8

Exists a third-party repository for Mageia 8 that have a rpm package for videomass.
The repository comes from BlogDrake The Official Community for Spanish Talking Users

Instructions

First you have to configure the Official Mageia repositories then

For i586 - 32bit systems

su -
urpmi.addmedia --wget --distrib https://ftp.blogdrake.net/mageia/mageia8/i586
urpmi videomass
exit

For x86_64 - 64bit systems

su -
urpmi.addmedia --wget --distrib https://ftp.blogdrake.net/mageia/mageia8/x86_64
urpmi videomass
exit

A problem was encountered trying to update youtube-dl from the Videomass menu. This is an error that occurs only in the versions of Videomass installed on Linux systems with administrative privileges, for example via PPA.
In these cases the youtube-dl update procedure should only be left to your package manager.

Is there a way to have the UI in Dark Mode in Windows just like in Mac?

Thanks

Tests with python-mpv package and libmpv client library are in progress.

Update:
The tests performed with python-mpv and libmpv were still unstable to be included in a release, so I have implemented a couple of libraries (ffplay_url_exec.py and ffplay_url_lib.py) which should play online streams via youtube-dl and ffplay even on embedded environments like AppImage, and installers made with pyinstaller.

The result seems to be working for now.

Hello, I really like your app and was wondering if there was a multi encode feature for NVENC like there is in FFMpeg Batch. Most nvidia quand encode 3 stream at the same time (more if you unlock or have a quadro). Would greatly appreciate the feature!

From what I understood, it launch mulitple instance of FFmpeg at the same time instead of back to back.

Hey folks, wanted to give this a shot. Downloaded portable version and tried to open the .7z archive and windows defender immediately blocked it. I opened it anyway, and then ran another scan, got the same issue - windows defender will not allow this to execute and claims it's infected with Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml. Any assurances this is a false positive?
