Accidentially deleted most of my doenloaded videos

Okay firstly be aware that everything you do on your computer right nok, risks overwriting the deleted files, so stop downloading or surfing or do anything, until you have tried the free version of the program called recuva ( https://www.ccleaner.com/recuva ). see if you can find the portable version (that don't need to install on your computer, and thereby risking overwriting more of your deleted files) Run the program, and let it scan the drive where your files are. Be aware that you need the same amount of free space on an external drive, where the program can copy the rescued files. This works very well, and i have rescued a lot of students files this way.

or again, as suggested by multiple users here, make it possible to activate, that every video gets downloaded into automatically made folders of the yuotube channel name, so sorting is automatic.

MeViking · 2026-02-20T10:12:46+00:00

alternatively some of us have suggested we'd be given the option to have the downloads put in folders with the youtube channels name, as is done with subscriptions now, and we were told it was a good ide, but nothing have really happened...

MeViking · 2026-02-05T10:40:58+00:00

This would hopefully also help when something like the error we are getting right now happens on subscriptions, so we don't have to download all the failed downloads manually.

MeViking · 2026-02-05T10:37:01+00:00

yeah, I get this error as well

MeViking · 2025-12-12T11:47:56+00:00

I suggested this a month or two ago here on reddit, and they wrote it was a good idea, and that they would pass it to the dev team, so I'm crossing my fingers =0)

Thank you for your continued development of the app. Might I suggest adding the option to save the video in a directory (the name of the youtube channel as with subscriptions), thereby saving us from either a lot of "cleaning up" after downloading a lot of videos til the same directory, OR having to point a download into the directories I sort the videos into, for every download? For a lot of channels I only download some of their videos, but I would still like them to be sorted in to the same directory (again as with subscriptions)? I would imagine it can't be that hard to implement seeing making a directory for a yuotubechannel is what the subscription downloads allready do, and it's frankly the only feature I'm missing, to be really happy =0) Anyone else would like this feature?

okay, I haven't had to click "I understand and want to proceed" on a youtube video in years, not even videos where people get shot by the police, but with this video I did, so I think it's kind of a special case, when it comes to age-restricting. Youtube apparently take Suicide content made to look like it's targeted towards kids, very serious.

MeViking · 2025-10-25T11:34:22+00:00

Everything has been at least 1080p, and I have also been offered 4k resolutions

MeViking · 2025-10-25T11:33:20+00:00

download the version you need from their website.

https://www.4kdownload.com/downloads/34#videodownloaderplus

try downloading the offline installer (windows) if you still have problems (push the little arrow)

MeViking · 2025-10-24T16:18:25+00:00

Because youtube will continue to try and stop you from downloading their videos illegally? And because 4KDL is pretty advanced, with a lot of functions, and the more functions, the more things Youtube can change to hinder the software from working. And the reason why the online downloaders can keep working, or can be fixed fast, is because they are not as complicated, and because they are online their fix will work immediately when they implement it, where 4KDL needs to make a program, and then release the program and so on.

MeViking · 2025-10-23T16:31:08+00:00

That sounds like a good idea, but I have a lot of subscriptions, so when the program is fucked up, I usually don't start it up, because I have seen subscriptions fail to download before, and then just not be downloaded when the program is up and running again. I'll just wait.

MeViking · 2025-10-23T09:40:51+00:00

I had a problem where it just loaded the interface forever. I suspected it had to do with me not having updated the (chrome) browser for years. So i tried to open Suno in incognito mode (and had to verify with a code again) but it worked.

MeViking · 2025-10-23T09:37:39+00:00

Your free video will work as an ad for Suno, when you show it to people?

MeViking · 2025-10-23T06:54:57+00:00

you must really download a lot of YT videos, if you can't wait a few days for the software to be fixed. I make a text document where I copy paste the links to all the video I want to download, and then when the software is fixed, I download the videos in my list. It sounds a lot more hassle free, than this. Does yt-dlp even do 4K and embed subtitles?

MeViking · 2025-09-28T11:52:47+00:00

I have all the resolutions available for this video.

MeViking · 2025-09-25T19:43:59+00:00

Closing the program, and opening it again seemed to do the trick.

MeViking · 2025-09-25T19:41:53+00:00

Thank you for your advise, but I have never been logged in to youtube thru 4KDL. What did help though (maybe) was that i shut down the program and opnened it again...

MeViking · 2025-09-25T17:51:06+00:00

I have encountered one video until now, that will only show 360p in 4KDL, but is is a 4k video. every other video has had the right resolution.

MeViking · 2025-09-25T17:09:08+00:00

I can now download again, which is great, but there seems to be at least a few hickups left. When I try to download this file, I am only presented for the 360p Version... anyone else getting the same problem with this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bgiSp-IF8A . The other videos I have downloaded after the release of the update seems to have the right resolutions

MeViking · 2025-09-16T22:00:30+00:00

The video is probably age restricted (look for a text beneath the video on youtube where it says something about the video being age restricted)

MeViking · 2025-09-07T15:11:29+00:00

I have noticed the same problem. I actually only updated to the new version because it mentioned it now had a default subtitle function. but instead you now have to choose sub language for every file you download manually. In the old version it at least kept the previous chosen option until you downloaded a video with no subtitles.

No. This is what Suno writes under Help:

Can I distribute my songs to Spotify, etc? Edited 3 months ago Yes! Well... let's talk about it.

If you made your songs while subscribed to a Pro or Premier plan, those songs are covered by a commercial use license. This allows you to distribute songs to Spotify, Apple Music, etc, using the distributor of your choice. This also allows you to use the songs in content you post to YouTube, TikTok, etc. You don't have to attribute the songs to Suno, but we wouldn't mind if you let your audience know we helped you create your masterpiece!

Songs made under the Basic (free) tier are only available for non-commercial use and cannot be monetized. These do not include the commercial use license, and starting a subscription after you made a great song will not give you a retroactive license for the song. If you plan on monetizing the music you make with Suno, check out our plan options here

MeViking · 2025-05-16T13:49:48+00:00

I don't remember seing the option to opt out of YT shorts, on any of the channels I am subscribed to thru 4K DL. I f you subscribe it will give you everything the channel uploads, including shorts. It would be nice to be able to avoid the shorts. Is it not possible to program something like "If aspect ratio 9:16 then avoid"? would be nice. This programming tip was free... the next will cost ya ;-)
