no longer automatically downloading private broadcasts

[gizmodo999]

Hey i noticed this issue earlier today that a private group i joined didnt start to automatically download like it has in the past... its also happened again this evening where i have to manually click download to get it downloading.. any ideas whats wrong?

[gitnew2018]

No idea, sorry.
If it happens again check the console for errors.

don't know if it helps, but for me I had to 'select' the user - then it worked ( even though 'Selected user broadcasts' isn't checked in my automatic downloading options )

Are you using the last released version? I found out that after a while with the program open, the automatic downloads stopped working, as you've said.

I don't have this problem if i build the program step by step, instead of using the release version.

Hope it helps.

I also confirm that the download has stopped working. The first version (which I had) just doesn't do anything, the latest release of My-OpenPeriscope v0. 2. 07 just creates an empty folder. When trying to download it manually it writes Failed to deserialize the V8 snapshot blob. This can mean that the snapshot blob file is corrupted or missing.
Также подтверждаю, что скачивание перестало работать. Первая версия (которая у меня стояла) просто ничего не делает, последний релиз My-OpenPeriscope v0. 2. 07 просто создает пустую папку. При попытке скачать вручную пишет Failed to deserialize the V8 snapshot blob. This can mean that the snapshot blob file is corrupted or missing..

it started working again but what im noticing today is, a lot of the private broadcasts are downloaded numerous times... almost as if its downloading, stopping, then jjust starting again from the beginning. ive turned on debugging so now all i got to do is work out how to look for errors lol

Yes, i've also noticed this problem for the first time today. For one private broadcast i've had until 20 parallel downloads. A little scary! But maybe it is periscope acting funny today.

Thought this issue was just with mine, downloaded 6+ of the same broadcast. Almost a couple gigs for a single broadcast.

Any updates on this? Seems to me its 50/50 whether or not it will autodownload a private broadcast.

[gitnew2018]

Not really, you could try owl46's suggestion and build the program step by step, instead of using the release version.
I might have deleted to many "junk" files from nwjs.
My account is corrupted atm and not actively working on this, just reading github issues.

I tried to build it myself, but the result is the same, it doesn't download, but only creates empty folders with the name. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I follow the instructions on this page https://github.com/gitnew2018/My-OpenPeriscope/wiki/Build-Instructions the first option. Downloading NW.js (I tried nwjs-sdk-v0. 45. 5 and nwjs-sdk-v0. 46. 0-beta1), then download the archive https://github.com/gitnew2018/My-OpenPeriscope, getting files from the nwjs folder. I run the NW file, enter the SID in the field, everything starts and works except for writing.In Dowland manager on trance writes error: exit code: 3221225477. If you go to the Dowland tab and insert a link, it says Failed to open startup resource 'E:\Перископ\nwjs-sdk-v0.45.5-win-x64\v8_context_snapshot.bin'.

@balamut777 try nwjs v0.41.3 same as the release version. In theory it should work with newer nwjs (and older) but it's not guaranteed.

[balamut777]

I tried it, but the result is the same.

[gitnew2018]

Googling this "Failed to deserialize the V8 snapshot blob" tells me that this is something corrupted on your end. Maybe extracting nwjs is interrupted or it takes some corrupted files from temp.
