thanks, good to know, but it would make sense for the defaults to be correct, no?

using flashgot 1.5.5.95rc1, some videos don't have any audio streams listed e.g. small, medium or large, only the video streams, however IDM6.12 can download video with sound, any reason why that is? Thanks.

URLs?

Both the separate video & audio play, separately, in MPlayer.
Can't image that VLC wouldn't do the same?

Muxed together, I get both the audio & video in one file, & that too plays.

The normal flashgot file downloads and plays fine, but either the audio or video DASH ones just don't play at all in anything

To help with debugging I uploaded the file I got here:

thank you for any help anyone

Something on your end?
Opens & plays just fine in MPlayer & VLC.

@kittymew: This happened with a few videos for me too, but the muxed (audio+video with ffmpeg) files were playable.

I can't seem to understand this muxed thing. Before the upgrade you could simply download and play...now I can't get the audio to play using VLC...do I need to change the settings in Flashgot or what?

You still can, so long as you do not use the DASH files.

If you do use DASH, you need to download, separately, the audio & video (assuming you want both).
Both should play, separately.

Or you can combine, mux, the two together, so that you'll have both audio & video in the same file.

Forgot to mention this only happens when I choose the large version for mp4...I see that the DASH option lets you only download either video or audio separately...what is the point of this? I understand getting only audio for songs but video with no audio? I like to download at the best quality...was exited to see the upgrade...but it was short lived when I tried to play the video.....no audio!!!!

If you'd read the whole thread, you'd know that this was a Youtube change, not FlashGot's.
It seems that Google doesn't want people downloading their videos.

I doubt this is the last change, they'll probably cook something even worse to block us.

@all: Is there no way to download country-restricted videos?

You could try a proxy?
Or Tor?

Hello, can you say what program you use to join (MUX)?

FFmpeg

Windows here, http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

Here's a simple batch script to merge the two streams with a "_muxed" sufix on the file name.
Just replace "X:\ffmpegdir\bin" with the directory where ffmpeg.exe is, save it as a .bat file and drag n drop the mp4 files over the bat
Maybe a sticky should be created for these Youtube changes.
