FDM 3.9.5 2h2t1z

[Guest]

Build 1519 is released.

I'm using the latest 1519. can find something strange.
FDM will create 2 folders named 'Free Manager' and 'FreeManager.ORG' in the %appdata%(Roaming environment variable) folder.And the FreeManager.ORG folder contains one empty Free Manager folder...

It seems FDM team wants to move Free Manager folder to FreeManager.ORG\Free Manager ??

Any chance of fix??

Video/Audio merge not happening here with the new version 1519 too.
I tried 480p for both links.

1st link, fdm mentioned audio selected & will merge automatically but the ed file was video only. Tried one more time & checked that the audio was selected but the ed file was video only.

2nd link, fdm mentioned audio selected & will merge automatically but the ed file was seperate video & audio. Tried again with the same result.


And thanxx for adding right click video function i.e when I rightclick video clip & select with fdm, I get youtube detected, do you want to video & on selecting yes, it gives me all the 1080/720, etc... option. So no need to play video to with this option & I like this.
But one query, to videos, is it required that the option "start automatically (after silent creation)" to be enabled?
Coz if its disabled then videos dont & fdm gui shows stopped.
But other file works fine with the option disabled.

Both ways works for me for both links, but for manual you must FIRST AUDIO file otherwise FDM cannot merge it with video stream.

Build 1519 is released.

And the FreeManager.ORG folder contains one empty Free Manager folder...

This folder should be used for service files (*.sav) conversion, f.e. when updating from FDM 3.9.4 to 3.9.5.

Problems are with Youtube in Firefox and FDM integration with Internet Explorer - more details will follow.

Promised details follow now.
It seems FDM 3.9.5 build 1519 has no problems with Youtube monitoring and flash video in Internet Explorer. No crashes, no hanging IE processes, no missing toolbar and tab bar after reopening IE.
Firefox extension seems to stay untouched. Try to do as follows:
- open some Youtube page in Firefox, f.e. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh0eWc6wmv0
- click " with FDM" button - you should see picture like that

- click "Cancel" button and go to some video listed on the right, f.e "Pixar's 'Lava' Preview - Disney•Pixar Short Film - Official | HD"
- on the new page click " with FDM" button once again and you will see... old window once again.

As you see, Firefox extension caches Youtube links and doesn't refresh them when you go to any new Youtube page.

FDM 3.9.5 RC build 1519 can't Mp3tag v2.68 direct link (http://mp3tag.de/en/.html) you click in the link and FDM will only a .html file.

Do you use copy-and-paste or click link in the browser? Are you going to follow the reporting rules and provide needed details without asking?

I've updated the post above with more details, anyway this does not require major explanation because is easy to test, and even clicking or copying the link manually in FDM or in the browser, FDM will only a .html file.

The problem is that, I've deleted both the 2 folders then they will be created again when FDM starts.

You just said it's for conversion then why FDM still create a useless old Free Manager folder even I'm using 3.9.5? Or If this is needed,then why not create a temp folder just in Free Manager rather than got a new FreeManager.ORG??

This is NOT the reason FDM create 2 folders in the AppData environment variable

I wonder why we can not just keep one of them?? It's really annoying

Why are you still ignoring the reporting rules? What browser, what OS, what actions?

Now some clarification follows:
This URL looks like a link to some web page (a page containing links to files):
http://mp3tag.de/en/.html
Tbis URL may be a direct link:
http://.mp3tag.de/mp3tagv268setup.exe

Direct - means you can copy and paste the url to any manager and immediately a file without any redirections (local or server-side). No javascript in use, no cloud mangling...

I've writen "looks like", "may be", because many file hosting services DO NOT provide direct links and you don't know what exactly stands behind the link until you click it in your web browser. The same link may be redirected to a web page for anonymous (not logged-in) s or to a link for (logged-in) s.

I'm only a so I can only write my own opinion. I don't like current folder organization, but you have forgotten that we have got FDM 5 alpha also, so there may be more FDM folders.
I think it should be another folder organization:

- main FDM folder for all FDM apps
%Appdata%\Free Manager.ORG

- subfolders with short names for specific FDM versions
%Appdata%\Free Manager.ORG\FDM
%Appdata%\Free Manager.ORG\FDM5

- other subfolders created when needed (f.e. backup of FDM 3.9.4 sav files) and deleted if they were only for temporary use (f.e. folder for sav conversion).

There still may problems with video and with Unicode .
For example use English or any non-Cyrillic (non Windows-1251, Russian etc.) Windows version to "Ленинград — Мусор" video from different sites.

1. directly from Youtube works OK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOeAXKUK6aM#t=16
You should see proper Russian names in a " Youtube video" dialog window.

2. There seems to be no possibility to embedded Youtube video from other sites, see:
http://vk.com/sosimc
There is no " with FDM" button there.

Continuation follows in the next message...

...now continuation follows...

3. Flash video still doesn't properly convert international characters. Try the following sites:
http://klippoman.ru/load/rossijskie_kli ... /4-1-0-634
http://videochart.net/video/84636.86eb1 ... de0a820c26
You can see file names either with underlines like

____ _________ - _____. _____ _____ - __________ _____ - ________.mp4

or with non-converted UTF-8 bytes like

Ленинград — ĐśŃƒŃĐľŃ€ - Videochart.net.mp4
Ленинград — Мусор - Videochart.net.mp4

(it's "Ленинград — Мусор" as seen using Windows-1250 and Windows-1252 charset)

All tests run from current Firefox 36.0.1 version.

It's OK if it works like the way you said.
%Appdata%\FreeManager.ORG\Free Manager\
%Appdata%\FreeManager.ORG\Free Manager 5\

But this is annoying like the way I've said.
%Appdata%\FreeManager.ORG\Free Manager
%Appdata%\Free Manager\

You just don't get my opinion though.I'm talking about there are 2 folders in %appdata% root folder,but you are talking about there will be more in %appdata%\FreeManager.org\ sub folder.
