I have given feedback but never got a reply, neither the problem has been solved. Why is it that some YT videos can not be downloaded? Just an error message comes up. Some videos work just fine. I'd like you to fix this. Or even explain why that erro

Please, fix the bug so that all youtube videos work.

I found that if the name of the youtube video contains punctuation that is invalid in a filename like *, \, / @ and so on or if it contains characters in a foreign language (to English) like in Korean, Chinese or Russian, it will error.

Re the non download of some you tube vids. I too have had this problem & haven't investigated the cause, however, I have discovered that this usually occurs when a vid you want to download is already playing. I found that if you stop the vid then re-paste the url, it often will download. Other times, delete the url from 4k downloader, re-paste with video stopped and all is well. Hope this helps.

You need to change your IP address and it will download... use a VPN cause youtube system will detect your abnormal leeching and they will block your IP address.. they did that to me even though i used the stable 3 threads... but i am subscribed to 4 youtube channels and they upload frequently..

so yeah.. maybe that was the problem.. but now i use 1 thread.. the thread means wire.. and wire means one download at a time.. so instead of 3 downloads at the same time.. you get 1 download at a time... and you can change this in the preference menu... under "intensity"

I have run some tests and I'm pretty sure Youtube is censoring certain videos. Example, I can download in 4K video Downloader any video's from sites such as Nicki Swift and never have an error yet try and download a video that YT disapproves of such as an expose on Vaccines and it always ends in an error even though it plays fine. You have to use a screen capture program if you want to keep it.
