List of clips

List of the clips in main window displays current state about all downloads added to the program.

Clips in the list are processed one by one starting from top most clip. Thus if you want some clip to start earlier, you need to move it up in the list using Move Up or Move Top actions. Note, there are no 'resume' ability for currently downloading clip. So if you move some clip upper than the clip which is currently downloaded, this will mean that upper clip will be next after current download finish.

Clips list columns

Clips list contains various info about all clips added to download. To show or hide column from the list right click on columns header and select appropriate column.

Also this is a display name, it does not have to be unique unlike user names on Youtube

Likes, DislikesNumber of likes/dislikes of the clip
RatingThe average rating given to the clip by the users, from 1 to 5, where 5 is the best
Rating RatioRatio of likes to dislikes filtered to prevent unfair values. Filter is quite simple but could be more effective than plain ratio: IF (dislikes > 10 OR likes > 100) ratio = MIN(likes/dislikes, 999)

State of the clip

Column State displays processing state of the clip. Possible states and their relationship are listed below.

Stopped » Waiting » Page analysis » Downloading the clip » [optional] (Muxing streams | Extracting audio track | Converting the clip) » Finished

All states between Page analysis and Finished cannot be interrupted. I.e. if close program, at next run it will start from beginning instead of continue task from these states. But they can be paused (while program is running).

Clips are processed one by one starting from the top of the list. If program is ready to start next task, it will look for the first clip with Waiting state.

If error occurred during the processing of the clip, its state sets to Stopped. Column State in this case will contain error description. When hovered it will display tooltip with more details about error. Alternatively Log tab of Properties pane can be used to obtain details about task run.
