Q: I’m unable to download private YouTube videos since I did an update. Before the update it was working.
I was using Surfshark 2 Video Downloader correctly to download private YouTube videos, but after updating to the latest version, it no longer allows me to do so and shows the following message:
"Failed to parse the URL. Please log in to the website from the private panel and try again, or provide a valid URL."
I have logged in again, downloaded the latest version of the app, and reinstalled it, but the issue persists. Could you please help me resolve this? Thank you very much.
A: Hello, we are sorry for the inconvenience. Please try the steps below to fix the issue. Please delete the folder Chromium to see if you can download YouTube videos.
Windows: C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\NablaMind\SurFast Video Downloader\Chromium Mac: /Users/xxxxx/Library/Application\ Support/NablaMind/SurFast\ Video\ Downloader/Chromium (xxxxx is your Mac username)

Q: Clipping - "file does not exist"
The completed downloads when I use the "chapters" part of the clipping feature do not work, they do not appear in the download folder and when trying to open them in the app it says "file does not exist". General downloads and manual clipping downloads work but "chapters" is the feature I wanted the app for, can you tell me why this may not be working
A: Hello, thanks for your feedback. Please share with us the chapter video link and we will have a check. Our support email is contact@nablamind.com. Thanks very much.

Q: Downloads transcription?
I see Surfast downloads subtitles, but can it download transcriptions too?
A: Hellp FabSS, thanks for your question. For video, there is not an individual transcription file. You was talking about transcribe video content, right? Sorry, SurFast Video Downloader only has video downloading and conversion feature. We will support transcribe video and audio files on our PopPop.AI in the near future. Let me know if this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Most Youtube videos have a transcript that you can easily view, or copy to clipboard, and then save it a text file. Why can't SFVD grab that--it's right on the page, for most videos. No need to transcribe anything all over again--it's already done and is waiting on the page!
Why would I want a transcript? I submit them to submit ChatGPT, where I can do summaries, but also all kinds of other inquiries into what was discussed in that video. I know there are many Chrome extensions & apps that do summaries. But I grab all the transcripts for an entire channel, then submit all of them in bulk to Chat--and now I have all the info from the entire channel! That is powerful!
Hello 7fe28e3ba7924f82a67b7942a785b65b, thanks for sharing the information. This is useful for us and we will consider this feature. Thanks again for your support to us.
Hello, we are checking the feature you suggested. Would you please let me know more about how you use the transcript? I know you said that you get all transcripts for the channel and add them to an AI model for summary and information inquiry. Then what is your next step? Are you going to create video based on the information you extract from the transcript or anything else? Much appreciated.

Depends on the situation, could be content creation, data collection or something else.
