Hi, Guys Like the new version.

With live recordings with V3 there was visual % indication and colour ascending on the progress bar with V4 there is no % indication and full colour on progress bar need to watch preview window for end credits to know when close to end of a live recording.

Thank you both for your feedback.

@budda_357 can you tell us how to reproduce?
For your specific download maybe there is something we can change or interface it better.
Otherwise for general info about live recording, depending on the hosting server we can know or not know the final file size and this is what determines if the Downloader can display an accurate progress bar. Normally V4 should work even better than V3 in regards to this for some cases.

Let us know the link and we will see what can be done.

Thanks for your help and feedback again!

Hi, Benjamin
With V3 of the downloader the movie "The Railwayman 2014"


The progress bar gives indication of % of the movie and a colour ascending the progress bar

With V4 same movies the progress bar shows full green during the download and no percentage message as in V3.

In addition, with 4.0.0.11 (have not installed V4.x.x.13 yet) when finished get the completed message but with error and empty folder where frag files were had to use V3 to download without error will install x.x.13 and see if same problem with this movie.
Cheers

thanks, can you also post the link where the stream is hosted? or Private Message it go Ben or me or both?

Hi,

I have another feature request for VSO Downloader 4.That is could you please make VSO Downloader to show the elapsed time and the remaining time (please view the picture 1.jpg below) ? I think this feature is very necessary for any download manager software.In version 3,the remaining time is still shown.But in version 4,it disappears.

It is quite possible in the next beta version the remaining time will be added.

Thanks.But what about the elapsed time???You didn't say about it.This parameter is also very necessary.

you can sort items in the interface by elapsed time.

I have added it as a feature request http://bugs.vso-software.fr/view.php?id=7937

FYI version 4.0.0.14 posted

Thanks very much.But in my opinion,the form of showing the remaining time is not easy to see.I have just described how I hope the elapsed time and the remaining time will be shown in the picture "my idea for the elapsed time and the remaining time.jpg" below.After viewing it,you will understand what I hope.

I have just updated my translation (Please view the piucture "a.jpg" below,you will understand).I have just sent an email that includes my supplemented translation to your email address trad@vsosoftware.fr .Please check your email.Please help me to replace my previous translation by this supplemented translation.Thanks.

a new version has been posted.

@Budda_357 the two bugs you reported should be corrected in this version

I can't download from this site: http://www.prosieben.de/tv/germanys-nex ... sse-finale
4.0.0.15 as well as the latest VSO Downloader 3 detect the video after the two ads, but immediately throw a download error.

Unfortunately, the issue seems to persist in 4.0.0.16. I'm still unable to download the main video.

Edit: Seems like I wasn't patient enough. After reloading the page several times, it eventually works. A big thank you to the VSO team!

I want this soft to be also able to choose the layout of version 3 type. or compact layout.
