Cant switch the download Path.

If u change the download folder to a specific path, downloads wont shown in this and are hidden on the cloud storage. After switching back to the app standard download path, surprise, all downloads will shown in this folder.

So ncdownloader cant handle other path's than the regular path which is used after install the app. No changes has affect.

Hope to see a fix for it. :-)

Greatz Paddy

Additional context

Hi @shiningw and thank you for the work you put in this great Downloader ! :)

I know it might be out of scope - and would understand it - but would it be possible scape a music download website too ?

You could maybe rename the "Search Torrents" button to make it become "Search Torrents/Musics" and add Slider.kz as a 3rd option in the dropdown (after TPB and Bitsearch) ?

I coded a bash music downloader based on this website:

1. It gets the musics results Url lists using this link: http://slider.kz/vk_auth.php?q=
2. It extracts the music name and url, BUT one important data is missing: the file size. The file size gives a good idea of the music length/weight on hard drive/quality. As a music lover, I always seek to download 320bk/s mp3s.
3. Thus, my script quickly fetch the Content-Length of each url in parallel
4. Finally results are displayed with their size, sorted from the largest file to the smallest one.
5. When the file is downloaded, the original displayed file name is kept, instead of the download name that includes the slider.kz "watermark" text.

Do you think you could implement this ?:)

It would really be awesome as I download musics on a daily basis but have to SSH to use my tool. My tool then moves the downloaded file to Nextcloud and modify its permissions to www and scans it using OCC to ensure it is properly added to the filecache DB.

I can of course share with you the full source code of my music downloader!

Kind regards

Hi @shiningw ! :)

Thank you very much for this great new app !

The possibility to search torrents online is a great option.

Would it be possible to insert all the torrent search engines we want to add (1 per line) in a customisable settings field? The idea would be that each user could then add all the search engines they want in the following way:

https://mirrorbay.top/search.php?q=USERINPUT https://xxxxxxx.xx/search.php?request=USERINPUT ...

And then when searching, the NCDownloader app could fetch results one SE after the other and display and sort results live with a progress bar/indicator for the user, displaying: "Fetching torrent from search-engine 1/5 ..."

Thank you so much in advance for your kind help and thanks again for your great app ! :)

When i download a link (like : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgG3k6SzD9M ) in youtuble-dl and i choose "mp4" ou "m4a" it works. But if I choose "mp3", a file is downloaded with almost the same size of the m4a but it doesn't work (impossible to read from VLC by example).

Thanks again for your work :)

I am using the built in youtube-dl app NC23 PHP 8.0 PostgreSQL 14.2

When I download a youtube video and then go to the youtube-dl section. I see a "1" next to the menu indicating that a download is happening, but the menu page doesn't render, just a blank screen. Also It doesn't remove itself long after the video is downloaded.
I have to go into the database manually and remove the entry

Here is an error that pops up in the log:

[index] Error: unserialize(): Argument #1 ($data) must be of type string, resource given in file '/var/www/nextcloud/apps/ncdownloader/lib/Controller/YoutubeController.php' line 53

POST /apps/ncdownloader/youtube/get

Hello,

NCDownloader is working well, but youtube Downloads are downloadet as .mkv which is not directly playable from Nextcloud Webinterface. Is ist possible to download it as m4v which is directly playable from NC Web?

It's been asked before but an explicit solution was not given. How can we make sure that the builtin aria2c that is included in the app is automatically started on server reboot.

Our server shuts down & restarts for backups & then our users can't use ncdownloader because they are not admin users & can't start aria2 from the gui. Is there anyway this can be scripted - maybe with a systemd file. Ideally a feature could be added to the app's config for this. I imagine almost everyone would require that aria2 runs on boot.

Hi,

I just install ncdownloader through the app tab. However, when I click on the NCdowloader tab, it's cause an internal server error. Using Nextcloud 24.0.1 on debian 11, the instance is using object storage as primary storage, the error log are as bellow:

GET /apps/ncdownloader/

Each time i go to the NCDownloader on my nextcloud instance, i have got the following message : python is not installed✖

But on my server, when i launch : sudo apt-get install python3

I got : python3 est déjà la version la plus récente (3.9.2-3).

And NCDownloader seems to work properly.

(sorry if i d'ont speak english very well, and thanks you for your very good work :) )

When going on the menu to list the active or completed downloads NCDownloader makes a request to apps/ncdownloader/status/active but it returns a 500 error so the javascript crashes and I can't see/manage my downloads

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would like to set custom aria rules, and get clarification on existing rules

Describe the solution you'd like A little help blurb, or even entry on the github readme about using aria2 options

Additional context I notice when downloads stop, putting in the url and continuing again picks up from where it left off. This implies the -c option, though it's not an aria default according to the man page, so some options aren't default and it would be nice to know what they are.

Additionally, the options to add extra settings are confusing. There is a box that specifically says "leave empty..." Unclear why that's there. I assume each option needs to be on a new line. So if I wanted to add max tries of 0 and max connections per server to 5 (for example) Would it be 2 entries? Like -x 5 | Leave empty -m 0 | Leave empty or -x | 5 -m | 0 Or can I do -x 5 -m 0 | leave empty

This is very confusing, and just a simple guide/example would be really helpful.

[edit]: The same question for youtube-dl, I assume the process is the same?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. My nextcloud is hosted in a country that frowns upon/blocks torrent traffic. Would it please be possible to add a feature to allow the torrent (search and traffic) or even all traffic to go through a proxy server of our choice?

For a better visual integration in the Nextcloud ecosystem I'd like to propose following adjustments:

Sidebar

NCDownloader

Contacts & Deck

• Use the same colored circle size as in Deck on the left size
• Use the same counter on the right size as in Contacts

Error messages

NCDownloader

Notes

• Use the same popup mechanism as the Notes app for displaying errors in the right top corner, with the corresponding colors

Buttons

For the configuration (left buttons)

• Use a dropdown for the type - less space consuming (especially for mobile) and signalizes more kind of a selection / a selectable value
• Or use secondary buttons as described in the Nextcloud Design Guide

For the submit part (right buttons)

• Either use a primary button or an inline button:

The destination location button should have the same monochrome icon as Deck and other apps use for similar scenarios:

Hope this wasn't overwhelming, but I see a lot of potential and I'd like to see a better integration into Nextcloud itself :)

Dear @shiningw ,

let me introduce myself: I am Stefan, maintainer of the Notes Android app and the Deck Android app and I'd like to write an Android client for the NCDownloader app for a more native integration (for example sharing links directly into NCDownloader).

Is there any chance we can get a stable public REST API to work with?

Looking forward to some kind of collaboration :rocket:

Describe the bug I installed the app like any other inside my nextcloud. After trying to access the app an internal server error occured.

To Reproduce

1. Download the app
2. Start the app

I cant delete the folder 'Downloads', I checked permissions in ubuntu and all belong to www-data, and Its not being used by NCDownloader I think.
