Re: GetFLV - Troubleshooting many problems with GFLV ...Update - managed to get the longer videos to go further by stopping and resuming the recording, however whenever they get to 99.9% done I get the following error message every time:
Your resume download need to reconnect video website to obtain authentication information. Do you want to continue? Whether I click yes or no it stops. Is there anyone who can help? Or anyone got any idea how I can get in touch with the getflv team? I've emailed twice, tried different addresses but nobody gets back to me. Thanks |
Re: GetFLV - Troubleshooting many problems with GFLV ...the help comes and goes here. you may have to give it some time.
personally, i would suggest when it gets to 99.9%, stop the download (the file should still be saved in the download location), fix it with the FLV Fixer, and check the end of the video with your media player to see if you missed anything. a few black frames off the end of a movie cant be THAT irritating, can it? |
Re: GetFLV - Troubleshooting many problems with GFLV ...Thanks, that's very helpful. I was presuming that not getting to 100% meant that the video would not be "completed" or therefore playable. If it only means missing a fraction of the end of it then that's not a problem. Thanks for your kind help, much appreciated.

Re: GetFLV - Troubleshooting many problems with GFLV ...I am a recent buyer of the latest Get FLV software, and it is not going well. My problems are twofold:
1) When visiting a site (say ABC.com, it is constant no matter the site) I will get the list of possible rtmp streams to download at the bottom of the screen. When I choose one to download, it will briefly switch to the flv downloader screen, where nothing will happen for a bit and then the app will crash. Note RTMP Record Mode is unchecked. 2) If I have the RTMP Record Mode checked, it starts the download. It will always, without fail, fail to finish downloading. It just gets slower and slower until it dies. Then it will start over, rinse lather repeat. I downloaded this and bought it 2 nights ago and have not had a single successful download of a movie. I have sent a message to GetFLV support via their website and have yet to get a response. |

Re: GetFLV - Troubleshooting many problems with GFLV ...back to lausha's problem, i am now having the same problem as well. it didnt occur to me that id never tried to download a stream longer than 44 minutes. downloading a 1h 33m movie is getting irritating after the third try. im going to HOPE that i can pause/resume the way lausha did to get it to 99.9%, but the first two tries made the filesize jump from 900mb to 2046mb (or something close to that number), and the download never proceeds from maybe the 800mb point. (yeah, about 87 percent like the others.)
EDIT: yup. it jumps from like 903mb to 2756mb, even after pausing and refreshing the page a few times to get the video back to the correct bitrate. the resumed download is claiming to download around 25-30 Mb/s. this continues to slow down gradually, while the download stays at the same 807mb (i think about 88% when paused, now 29% because of the new 'resumed' 2756mb filesize). i suppose theoretically that refreshing the page ends the uh... i dont know the word that im thinking of... refreshes your 'script?' so that the REST of the video is now on a different URL? to me, (if i can word this correctly) it seems like were not able to download the video fast enough before whatever page were using refreshes the stream URL. while just viewing regularly, it may just quickly buffer to the new URL, or may not even be noticed. has anyone tried downloading their 1-2gb file on anything faster than DSL? it took me about 20 minutes to get my 807mb. maybe with a faster connection, the time to download would beat the time for the site to refresh. anyway, there just needs to be some sort of pause/resume function in GetFLV that downloads from the original URL. we just keep restarting the download for some reason. or yeah, as someone suggested, find a way to download the first and whatever other portion separately then splice together. piece of cake.. if it were at all possible.. |

Re: GetFLV - Troubleshooting many problems with GFLV ...well, im going to stick with what i have for now. like i said earlier, i VERY RARELY download anything longer than 44 mins.
i was able to get the rest of my movie by letting the first file get to 88%, stopping it and pausing the video. using the 'resume' option on this site, i was able to get the rest in 3 small segments with the 'Record RTMP' feature in GFLV. (i ended up not getting the credits; the process became a hassle. the video is just for personal viewing so i could care less about getting a complete version.) now its just converting to AVI to edit. so it IS possible, its just a HUGE inconvenience. |

Re: GetFLV - Troubleshooting many problems with GFLV ...I am running GFLV 9.0.7.9 under 64-bit Windows 7, and I am trying to download free Amazon instant videos. I have the problem reported earlier of the download starts and then stops after perhaps 20% of the file has downloaded. Clicking stop followed by start does not make the download continue. It acts as if my copy is not registered.
How do I find an earlier version that does not have this stopping problem. I have saved version 9.0.5.1, and perhaps that will work better. I presume I should completely uninstall my current version and do a fresh intall of the older version followed by a registration. How do I get the 9.0.6.1 version? Is it archived somewhere? Any suggestions or comments will be greatfully received. |
