[Bug] Captchas are not shown

[Bluejanis]

Current Behavior

When starting a download, it shows:

Wait for captcha slot: 9s.
Once it is down to 0s, it just restarts the counter.

Neither rapidgator, ddownload nor turbobit are working anymore. Probably since a month or two, when it stopped working. I had hoped the new release would fix it, but the issue still persists.

Expected Behavior

A captcha is shown, so I can solve it and the download can start.

Steps To Reproduce

Add links to jdownloader from i.e. ddownload and start the download.

Anything else?

No response

Are you using MyJDownloader ? Since there is no browser inside the container, this is the way people use to resolve captchas.

[Bluejanis]

Before the issue, it would show a captcha window within the jdownloader view on port 5800. I would type the required letters and the download started. This stopped working 1-2 month ago.

I had also tried MyJdownloader. It did not show any captchas there either.

I am also going to try this again with the new docker-jdownloader-2 version, just in case.

[jlesage]

It's possible that the download services you are using changed the way they use captchas.

Also, JDownloader has a self-update mechanism. Make sure it is up-to-date (Help -> Check Updates).

[Bluejanis]

It is possible, that they changed their captchas and use recaptcha now as well.

JDownlader is up-to-date.

I tried My.JDownloader just now. Now it gets stuck at the captcha recognition status. In My.JDownloader in the bottom, the icon says 2 captchas are waiting, but they do not show up in any way. Clicking on it does nothing either.

Which settings should be used in jdownloader for the captchas? Right now, I only left My.Jdownloader enabled.

[Bluejanis]

I got it working with my.jdownloader now. Apparently, MyJdownloader is not enough. It also requires the browser add-on to work with captchas.

It would be nice to get some info when a captcha does not work within docker-jdownloader. I also do not understand why it can't load the recaptchas, when other captchas worked before. It is running in the browser, so there should be a way?
Alternative an info message, what we have to configure for these captchas, would have been nice.

[jlesage]

I also do not understand why it can't load the recaptchas, when other captchas worked before.

Something changed either with JDownloader itself, or with the download services. You might want to ask on the JDownloader forum to get more details about the possible causes.

It is running in the browser, so there should be a way?

Don't forget that JDownloader is a Linux application that normally runs on a desktop environment, where an external browser is available. In this scenario, JDownloader would open the browser where you have to resolve the captchas. This container allow you access the JDownloader application through a web browser, but the application itself is not running in a browser. It's like doing a remote desktop.
