Stuck at Downloading...

[autumnrain26]

I can see in temp folder that it has downloaded .ts files, after that high cpu usage from Java for days with no progress. Where is the problem? I chose to mux to mp4.

From my personal experience, you should be careful with that. Sometimes the software tends to find a m3u8 file BUT when you download it, it just downloads empty .ts files, and it doesn't stop. I had this happen to me multiple times, the first time it had downloaded 1 MILLION files, all weight 0kb of course but deleting them all was a pain, had to delete by chunks or otherwise my CPU would start to slow down.

Best way to avoid this happening, if you go to the tmp folder, and you see that it has downloaded a lot of files but they have no "Preview Image", then you are surely downloading a VOD which is corrupt somehow.

I have tried to play the m3u8 file on VLC when it seems "corrupted" and it doesn't play it. If the VOD you are trying to download you can view it on VLC but whenever you try to download it, it repeats this issue in the TEMP folder, then your best bet is to record it with another software.

This is all from my personal experience, I'm not really educated like most people here, so there might be a solution to this issue, but if there is I am not aware of it.

Just wanted to give you the solution that I apply to these kind of situations.
