100mb file download limitation

[40k]

Hi Don,

I've just updated my Youtube script (http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9396)

The current download limit is 100mb. As a result the script often can not download 720p/1080p HD videos. Any chance you can remove this limitation?

Cheers!

How much would you need? (I want to have some limit.)

Is the readurl() function limited by RAM?

otherwise:

100GB.

It may seem high right now but you will already find 1080p videos with high bit-rate topping 2-3GB on Youtube right now. With the advent of 2K and 4K in the next year or two it seems like a good ballpark figure.

Yeah if it's limited by ram then it's an issue. But... 100GB Holy moly! Lol!

A 2 hour 4K video at 1440p breaks 150GB without even trying. The future is now

I'm afraid I will leave it at 100 MB. Since XY will be totally blocked until the download is done this is enough.

I'm sad you don't want to change this as it breaks my YouTube script.
Disappointed

The technical maximum would have been 2GB anyway.

If increasing the download allowance to 2 gig or even 1 gig is not too huge an issue, why not do it. That would be 10 to 20 times what it is presently and it opens the door for downloading many other videos using 40k's youtube.xys. Running something like the youtube downloader, you know in advance it's going to tie up that instance of XYplorer. So you can't download a movie...I wouldn't want to do that through XY anyway.

Yes, actually I got the idea of simply passing a new flag with the download() command that removes the default restriction. Will come with next beta.

Sounds great Don! Glad you're back
Out of interest why is the hard limit 2GB?

I'm just guess but it probably has something to do with XYplorer being 32Bit.

OK, as you noted it did not come with the last beta, but with the next.

No, the limit has to do with the way I'm currently handling this. I now saw that I could improve it to allow unlimited sizes. I will check how much work this would be.

Haha this is now just plain awesome. Now the Download function can work much better as a Download function without a "limit". Thanks!
40k will be soo happy.

Well, any comment on today's extraoooordinary developments in streaming downloads...?
