GetFLV - Troubleshooting many problems with GFLV ...

[Scottie]

I have a windows XP professional system with NTSF formated drives.
Sprtnbit just verified that his Windows 7 machine also produces this error.
The problem isn't creating and writing the file, because getFLV can sucessfully write a 4 GByte file (It just erases it after the file download completes). It appears to be an internal problem with your program, where one of your variables has a 2048M limit. It is producing a calculation error when the size becomes greater than 2048MB.

Dear Scottie, Scottie:

Download and install latest GetFLV (v9.0.7.6) from our website to check your problem again.

Give us your feedback. We will try our best to fix "2048M problem".

Thanks!

Hi,

So I got GetFLV to download JV Player videos using Adobe Flash player but it only let me get 4 minutes of the download before asking I purchase pro.

Have I hit the limit?

Hey!
I think version 9.0.7.6 fixed the 2048MB problem!

So far I have been able to download 4 files >2048MB successfully, with the largest being 3.7GB. All the status info seems to be staying correct now until the file reaches 100%.

I did have a 5th file that completed, but only about 80% of the movie was actually there. When I re-downloaded the same movie, it completed correctly at 100%.

Thanks for fixing this bug.


The only other thing I would wish for, would be for a way to limit the download speed. It appears the HBOgo will cut off downloads if the speed is too high. It's like the server knows the speed is way to fast for someone to just be viewing the movie. ~1Mbit/s rate will usually always fail, where <300Kbit/s usually always works.

Hi

I have just installed GetFLV Pro as it was the only program that would download a Flash movie I wanted from Youtube. I was very impressed with the trial run although it only downloaded 10MB so I paid up and got the registered version but I have now run into the same problem mentioned by the last few posters.

My system is windows 7 and IE 8 with the latest flash player. Download speed is around 110kbs.

GetFLV easily detects the video stream and begins downloading. It then stops. Out of four tries I ended up with 14%, 21%, 30%, 11%.
The quality of the video saved is excellent but how do I get the whole video to download?

Hi there, I have GetFLV (v9.0.7.6) pro and I keep trying to DL from crunchyroll but it keeps getting stuck in the middle of DL and I have to restart the download which doesn't resume instead starts from 0 and downloads again. can you at least make it resume instead of downloading from 0?

My problem started 2 days ago. Before that it was fine. Now I can't download any video that's longer than an hour. Less than an hour, fine. But a film that's 90 minutes, the download freezes at around 70% every time. I tried a programme that was 1 hr 20 and it froze at around 78%. And it doesn't matter about the size of the file, even if I choose a lower bitrate version of it, it still freezes around the same percent. It's not the website either, as I have tried to download from several and it happens with all of them. I have tried downloading one video at a time, several at a time, high speed, low speed, I've defragged my pc, I've downloaded the latest version of getflv 9.0.7.7. and of flash, nothing makes a difference.

I am using XP and had not made any changes to anything before the problem started. I emailed getflv but they haven't replied.

Can anyone help me please?

First, I am a paid customer, Golden version :-) and I want to thank you for one of the most useful programs that I have - one that I have tried and actually works for Crunchyroll.com. (I like anime.)

When I bought the program on 3th of July of last year, soft subtitles were not included with the download files. And a few versions later, my prayers came true - the SRT file was created by Getflv program.

If I may suggest that all the special effect in the SRT file can be omitted of formattings (no centering, no italic, no bold, or different coordinate) as I just want them to display at the bottom of the screen when I play them on my computer because I hate to see it jumping all over the place. If there were an option for that, it would be very welcome.

And I noted that some clips end up without the SRT file—and the subtitles themselves are embedded into the FLV file. (I'm not referring to hard subtitles, but the soft subtitles). How does the program know which clip to do that?

If there were a way to have them embedded into the FLV file directly, I wouldn't mind the formats above. But as suggested, if it's a separate file, can there be an option of saving no formatting at all?

And another option of just embedding all the soft subtitles into the FLV files themselves (like some of the FLV files are now saved), I can truly live with it.

And some people have suggested about getting rid of the "skin" settings. I am running Windows 7 64 bit with Intel i7 960 with 24 G of RAM and GeForce GTX 480 in (gasp!) the ugly Windows classic. I just don't like the flashy new interface.

And are you considering coming out with the 64 bit version (if it's not too much trouble).

Thank you again for a great program, and for very frequent updates.

I realize how hard everyone must be working on it on a daily basis and I thank you for your time.

Yours sincerely,

Pooky, a happy customer

Hi All,

I also seem to have a problem with downloading anything over an hour, both from hulu.com and from crackle.com. The file usually stops downloading around 60-70% complete (about 45-50 minutes into the video). If I stop and restart it the file will sometimes continue and sometimes not, if it does continue it may stop again before the end. I'll keep trying to restart it, but usually it doesn't work well. It took 6 tries to finally get a 2 hour movie off of hulu.

Also, on crackle.com the system doesn't try and reload the page itself, you have to do it yourself. After successfully downloading one video from crackle, I've tried two others numerous times but they never finish.

I don't suppose anyone knows of a way to start recording in the middle? I figure if it only does half at a time I can download the front and back halves separately and then stitch them together !

I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise and am using Get FLV 9.077.

Get FLV works great for anything under an hour, it's just those longer videos that are a hassle.

Thanks!
