Youku Download Incomplete For Long Videos

[temperson]

Youku downloads only half of the video and stops (safely closes, no error messages), from my experience, only for videos greater than ~60 minutes.

Which videos work and which dont?

[temperson]

I don't know for sure if this occurs for all long videos, but the bug did occur for the two that I have listed in my original post.

Did you try to merge the 16 videos to see how long the total time is? I analyse the json data, and found the total time is 7156400ms(119 minutes), which equals the video's total time.

Edit: I downloaded the 16 videos, and they are missing more than 30 parts. After a while of analysis, I found out that Youku.com has changed the basic_data_url to '...ct=10' and the encrypt_string in data.

[temperson]

Yes, if I remember correctly, each of the 16 videos were around 3-4 minutes long.

Same problem, for example with this video http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDM4ODU4Mzk2.html?old&&from=y1.2-1-100.3.2-2.1-1-1-1-0

[yan12125]

Both http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTMwNzQwMTcwMA.html and http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDM4ODU4Mzk2.html?old&&from=y1.2-1-100.3.2-2.1-1-1-1-0 will be fixed (fully downloaded) in the next version. http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XOTUwMzc1MDI0.html is restricted to China so I cann't test it. If there are still problems, feel free to leave comments below or open new an issue.
