The vital need for batch downloader to download the 2 streams (video only and audio only) consecutively and one after one = because urgent very serious capital bug : impossible to download separate video and audio files, when downloading the video only and the audio only at the same time, Cat-Catch strangely deletes one of the 2 downloaded files which have the same name = the need to add a batch downloader where Cat-catch first downloads the video only stream then downloads the audio only stream to fix this download conflict bug between audio only and video only

Second media player (LECTEUR MOON) in : https://v5.voiranime.com/anime/mobile-suit-gundam-seed-vf/mobile-suit-gundam-seed-20-vf/

请详细描述问题

Hello, this website offers 2 streams : video-only and audio-only streams. so we need to download both streams :

Second media player (LECTEUR MOON) in :

https://v5.voiranime.com/anime/mobile-suit-gundam-seed-vf/mobile-suit-gundam-seed-20-vf/

by clicking on the master.m3u8 file, Cat-Catch offered me 2 streams: video only stream and audio only stream, I clicked on the 2 streams and the download went well but when the download of the 2 streams was finished, Cat-Catch strangely and automatically deleted one of the 2 files without consulting me so I only got the video only file and the audio only file was automatically deleted by Cat-Catch !

so i think there is urgent need for batch downloader integrated natively in Cat-Catch to download the 2 streams consecutively and one after the other : because this is urgent very serious capital bug: impossible to download separate video and audio files, when downloading the video only and the audio only at the same time, Cat-Catch strangely deletes one of the 2 downloaded files which have the same name = the need to add a batch downloader where Cat-catch first downloads the video only stream then downloads the audio only stream to fix this download conflict bug between audio only and video only.....

Thank you :)

EDIT :

i.e. We hope please a behavior similar to the Live Stream downloader extension, i.e. the extension offers us index v1 and index a1 streams and there are boxes that we can check and we select these 2 streams audio only and video only and we click on button "download all", and the download is done consecutively and one after the other to avoid simultaneous downloads and possible IP ban, thank you very much !

Update :

Good news Mr @xifangczy , I finally found the solution to this problem of the deleted file, since I download the 2 audio streams audio a1 and video v1 at the same time, when one of the 2 files is downloaded, a pop up window appears: "the modifications have not been saved, quit?" and I thought we had to click on "ok" button to download the file but clicking the ok button deleted the downloaded file, so I clicked the cancel button and I was able to download the 2 files without problems !

hence the importance of adding a queue and downloading the files one after the other and not at the same time to avoid this annoying pop-up window that confused me, I specify I activated auto close when download finished....

For the prestige of Cat Catch which must be intended for the general public non-experts, I think when Cat-catch detects separate audio and video streams, it must download them automatically for more simplicity for beginners then tell users to use potplayer to add external audio track to video only file

i keep this issue open because of the vital need of batch donwloader and adding a queue and downloading the files one after the other and not at the same, extension Live stream downloader has button "download all" and donwload task one after the other and not at the same time and i have no such problem of pop-up window that stop the download in Live stream downloader extension....

扩展没有权限删除任何一个文件,测试没有出现你说的bug 另外m3u8有自动合并方案,不需要你单独下载音频流和视频流,视频小于2G情况下能完美处理。 选择一个音频 再选择一个视频,会出现合并按钮。

The extension does not have permission to delete any file, the test did not produce the bug you mentioned In addition, m3u8 has an automatic merging scheme, so you don't need to download audio and video streams separately. Videos less than 2GB can be perfectly handled. Choose an audio and then choose a video, a merge button will appear.

Thank you Mr @xifangczy for your help and sorry to bother you with my problem :(

Sorry I forgot to specify I changed the default values ​​of our beloved Cat-Catch, because I did some experiments and I wanted Cat-Catch to display the file that is being downloaded in my download folder to be able to playback the video with potplayer during its download because the download can take a long time and the current behavior of Cat-catch is to hide the file that is being downloaded and we cannot find the file that is being downloaded in our download folder during its download and so I made an exceptional discovery by choosing these options:

In m3u8 parser settings, I enable the options :

I enable "stream download" and I enable ""automatically close page after donwload"

and I disable "ffmpeg transcod" ,

and I also enable "Use a custom filename to save the file (the default is the webpage title)"

and i enable "Choose the save directory after downloading"

and i choose the number of threads ="2" to avoid ip ban .

and so here are my settings when i download from this problematic site, i previously tried several times to download index v1 and index a 1 , and also i clicked on download the master stream :

catsxp_screenshot_jfedfbgedapdagkghmgibemcoggfppbb

and i chose to download at the same time the 2 audio and video streams and here is what happens when i disabled ffmpeg transcod :

when the download of one of the 2 files ends, the catsxp web browser crashes on this message and i can't do anything anymore and i couldn't even take a screenshot of this message because the web browser crashes on this message and my eee pc windows 7 doesn't have an internal scrrenshot tool : i have this message :

" leave site ?

changes you made may not be saved "

and i see these 2 buttons :

leave or cancel "

before, i clicked on "leave" thinking to download the file but this operation deleted the file, now i click on cancel and i can keep the 2 files without one of the 2 files being deleted by web browser or Cat-Catch.....

the problem is that while Cat-catch is downloading these 2 files, I am doing other things, like watching a previously downloaded video, and it is annoying to constantly check and interrupt my anime episode each time to click on the 'cancel' button so that Cat-catch can continue downloading the second file.....

because this "leave or cancel" message blocks the download of the second file!

yes i already select many times audio and vide streams and i see and i tried "merge button" but ffmpeg online display message ffmpeg loading fail, so it's vital for me to dowload separately audio only and video only streams without ffmpeg transcod option.....

Mr Xifangczy , you told me my cpu is probably very old and does not support SMID instructions of ffmpeg online since ffmpeg online shows me the message "ffmpeg loading fail".....

so I can't use ffmpeg online to merge anymore, and I would just like to download separately audio only file and video only file so I can playback these 2 files with potplayer which allows us quickly to add an external audio track, thank you :)

so my request plaese is that Cat-catch works like the Live stream downloader extension which can download video only and audio only files without the annoying message of interruption of download "leave or cancel", thank you very much :)

To be able to see this problem, it's simple, let's forget that ffmpeg online exists, I ask the question to the generous and patient Mr Xifangczy, can you please obtain and see in your download default folder the 2 files "index v1" and "index a1" ?

if Mr Xifangczy manages to download separately these 2 files audio only and video only files without using the ffmpeg transcod option, he will certainly see this annoying enigmatic message which interrupts the download :

"leave site ?

changes you made may not be saved "

and he will see these 2 buttons :

leave or cancel !

i use Catsxp browser by defaut because he has the last chromium kernel 129, but i hope i will try to test with supermium, thorium legacy browsers, and firefox esr and r3dfox browser that use the last firefox kernel but i think the problem will persist...... thank you :)

UPDATE :

Good news, I finally find how to fix this painful problem after weeks of sadness and lamentations, but Mr @xifangczy should take a look at my proposals to fix some important problems and for an easy operation out of the box, thanks :)

i explain for reference the solution : we must click on the merge button even if ffmpeg online displays error message ffmpeg loading file, the audio only and video only files will be displayed in ffmpeg online, we just click on these files on ffmpeg online website and a preview window appears and we will see a download button in the preview window, and there finally, we can download the audio and video streams separately and playback them with potplayer (we can add easly external audio track by using potplayer)
