If a YouTube video is in 4K (I just want the audio). Why is the 'best' audio just "Normal Quality" at 139K? Shouldn't it be higher?

This the latest Android 4K Video Downloader Plus App and it's now giving the error "limited by YouTube". There's nothing I can do about it. I can't login because the 4K folks think logging in is only relevant to the desktop version. No idea why they think that, but they do.

I've just tried these videos on the desktop version (where my 4KVD is logged into YouTube) and they download just fine. I don't think the links are relevant but here's one of them.

This happened yesterday also, but a few hours later it wasn't happening (same phone, same links).

I've been using the app for years now, and this is the first time my IP has been restricted from downloading videos (when I try to download a video I get an error saying 'YouTube not available". I know it is an IP ban because when I turned on a VPN I was able to successfully download videos again. How do thing typically play out when someone receives an IP ban like this? Now that I've received an IP ban once, will it now be more likely to happen again in the future once it's reversed?

Please stop autotranslating meta data! it is so annoying to download a song, just to find its title and artist to be autotranslated. i cant find any songs that are downloaded this way.

for instance: i wanted to download the song "Magik & Ingrained Instincts - Sentient Others" which has now the title: "Magie und tief verwurzelte Instinkte – Empfindungsfähige Andere"

this sucks hard imho.

how can i disable this feature?

We noticed that recently more users have been running into parsing/downloading issues in 4K Video Downloader Plus and 4K YouTube to MP3. The good news: in many cases, it’s not actually a broken app or a permanent issue on our side. Platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and others constantly change how their websites work. Sometimes this temporarily breaks compatibility until we release a fix.

So before writing to support, here are a few things worth trying first:

🛠 Update the app
A lot of parsing issues happen after website updates. New app versions often include compatibility fixes.

🛠 Log out and back into YouTube
Sometimes the session/token just needs refreshing. You can also try another account.

🛠 Disable VPN, antivirus, or firewall temporarily
These can interfere with parsing or downloads more often than people think.

🛠 Try another website or video
This helps figure out whether the issue is global or tied to one specific platform/video.

🛠 Change the download folder
Folder permissions can occasionally break downloads.

🛠 Restart the computer
Yes, seriously. Sometimes stuck processes or cached connections cause weird behavior.

🛠 Reinstall the app completely
A clean reinstall fixes corrupted configs surprisingly often.

And if the issue still happens, sending these details to support helps a lot:

— the video link
— screenshot of the error
— app version
— your OS version
— whether you’re logged into YouTube in the app
— what you already tried

We know parsing errors are frustrating, especially because they can appear suddenly even if everything worked yesterday. Most of the time it’s caused by website-side changes rather than your setup.

Hope this helps someone before they spend an hour troubleshooting blindly.

I have just set up a new Android phone and have installed 4K video downloader. I am using revanced manager to avoid advertisements but I cannot work out what the official name of 4K video downloader app is to put into the alternative download button in YouTube if that makes sense.

hasnt worked for me in some days

Very ocassionally Tokkit will download a vid with no sound, I've checked and the sound is there in the original posting on Tiktok. Is there a way to correct this please?
