List of clips
List of the clips in main window displays current state about all downloads added to the program.
Clips in the list are processed one by one starting from top most clip. Thus if you want some clip to start earlier, you need to move it up in the list using Move Up
or Move Top
actions. Note, there are no 'resume' ability for currently downloading clip. So if you move some clip upper than the clip which is currently downloaded, this will mean that upper clip will be next after current download finish.
Clips list columns
Clips list contains various info about all clips added to download. To show or hide column from the list right click on columns header and select appropriate column.
Column | Description |
---|---|
File | Output file name (clip title is taken) with file extension. If target is original format, extension will be unknown until download start. If clip title is also unknown yet, clip URL will be displayed instead it |
State | Current state of the clip. Read more: State of the clip |
Speed | Processing speed (data amount per second). At downloading it is download speed. At converting it is processing speed i.e. how much data of original file(s) is converted per second |
Done | Percentage of the task completion. Note, converting is separated task. So at end of download there will be 100% and when converting will start, percentage will start again from 0% |
Processed | How much data was already downloaded or converted |
Remaining | How much data left to download or convert |
Size | Size of the file to download or convert. If processing two adaptive streams this is total size of two files |
ETA | How much time is left till the end of the current task (Estimated Time of Arrival) |
Elapsed | How much time has passed since start of current task |
Added on | The date and time when the clip was added |
Completed on | The date and time when the clip was successfully finished |
Source | What quality to use (e.g. 'Best Video'). When exact source quality is known, i.e. after download start, it is also displayed there (e.g. 'Best Video (MP4 1080p 1920x1080)') |
Target | Destination format. In case of converting it is format to convert. Otherwise, i.e. if original quality was selected to download, there is displayed 'Original Format' string |
URL | Canonical URL of the clip page |
Title | Original clip title on the site |
Uploaded | Date when the clip was uploaded to the site |
Duration | Duration of the clip, HH:MM:SS |
Uploader | The title of the channel to which belongs the video. In most cases this is 'display name' of the user but not always: for example on Youtube channels may not be associated with user (e.g. BBC News channel). Also this is a display name, it does not have to be unique unlike user names on Youtube |
Views | Number of views of the clip |
Likes, Dislikes | Number of likes/dislikes of the clip |
Rating | The average rating given to the clip by the users, from 1 to 5, where 5 is the best |
Rating Ratio | Ratio of likes to dislikes filtered to prevent unfair values. Filter is quite simple but could be more effective than plain ratio: IF (dislikes > 10 OR likes > 100) ratio = MIN(likes/dislikes, 999) |
State of the clip
Column State
displays processing state of the clip. Possible states and their relationship are listed below.
Stopped » Waiting » Page analysis » Downloading the clip » [optional] (Muxing streams | Extracting audio track | Converting the clip) » Finished
All states between Page analysis
and Finished
cannot be interrupted. I.e. if close program, at next run it will start from beginning instead of continue task from these states. But they can be paused (while program is running).
Clips are processed one by one starting from the top of the list. If program is ready to start next task, it will look for the first clip with Waiting
state.
If error occurred during the processing of the clip, its state sets to Stopped
. Column State
in this case will contain error description. When hovered it will display tooltip with more details about error. Alternatively Log
tab of Properties pane
can be used to obtain details about task run.
