I just bought this app just for r18 decryption and download. I've already grabbed the cookie txt file and the catalog id , but how do I run the download command?
Any guidance would be appreciated. I'm running on Windows btw. Thanks!
Hi friend,
Welcome to the community! I would be happy to help you. This is what you need to do:
1. Save your “r18.com_cookies.txt” into your Jav-It folder.
2. Go to CMD and change to your Jav-It folder.
3. Type in “jav-it download -c r18.com_cookies.txt -o d:\downloaded -i rbd00255”
You can change “d:\downloaded” to match the folder you want to save your downloads to, and “rbd00255” with the stream ID you want to save. Remember to save your cookie file in the Jav-It folder to keep things simple, and to change into that folder when you want to run the download. If you have any more problems, please let me know and I would be happy to help you!
Hello, I keep getting this when trying to download
2021/04/26 12:51:12 [INFO] Now scanning for streams with video ID 'mide00070'...
2021/04/26 12:51:12 [FAIL] Could not request media stream information: 200 - {"status":"login_required"}
2021/04/26 12:51:12 [FAIL] Could not obtain video streams for video 'mide00070': the cookie file provided does not have a valid login token
----------
I'm logged in and I'm I think I grabbed the cookie file properly, but I'm not fully sure.
Any help would be great, thank you
Hi,
{"status":"login_required"} is the key! You need to have a valid cookie file, taken after you successfully log into your account. In addition, you need to pass in the cookie file to Jav-It so that it can read it (ie: "-c c:\downloads\r18.com_cookies.txt"), where "c:\downloads\r18.com_cookies.txt" is the location of your cookie file. This also assumes that you have access to the title as well, so if you didn't pay for it, or rent it, you won't be able to see it.
Maybe you would like to verify the steps your using so we can see if it is correct or not?
Thank you for responding!!

I was confused seeing that (login_required) because I was logged in when getting the cookies, either way here's what I do.
First. I log into my r18 account. Then I use the get cookies extension to grab the cookie after I've logged in. My folder that I have for jav-it is where I put the txt file that is created. I'm only trying to download videos I've purchased. I grab the code after opening the video
I enter in this command, but already used cd to point it to the correct location of my jav-it folder
jav-it download -c r18.com_cookies.txt -o F:\Temp\ -i bbvr00009 (I also tried this way after reading your response)
jav-it download -c f:\Temp\jav-it\r18.com_cookies.txt -o F:\Temp\jav-it -i bbvr00009
I was initially trying to download a VR video and I didn't know if multiple parts had to do anything with it since the code given is the same for each part. I wasn't sure if the program would work around that. But I then tried one with a single video part I got the same result.
Hmm reading your response again... Am I putting the cookie file in the wrong spot? I was just putting it with the jav-it folder, but I now tried putting it in the example spot you mentioned so it would be
jav-it download -c C:\Users\PC\Downloads\r18.com_cookies.txt -o F:\Temp\jav-it -i bbvr00009
Still having trouble, not sure what I've done wrong. Hopefully my steps show my mistake to you haha. Thanks
Hi again,
Ok, lets take this one by one. First off, I don't own any VR titles yet, so I don't know about that. But for regular videos I'm pretty sure you should be able to download them. So as for your first attempt, let me ask you some questions!
1. I noted that you initially used 'mide00070' as your download sample, since this was the free video we received when signing up. This is good, since everyone should have this video (most people anyways!). There is no catalog entry for this video, but downloading it works (I just verified this).
2. In all cases, are you still receiving the "login_required" error? If so then clearly we need to fix your login situation. (^_^); I assume you downloaded the "get cookies.txt" plugin for chrome, added it to your browser, verified that it is running, proceeded to login to your R18 account, verified you logged in by looking at the R18 dropdown menu (to see if the "logout" option is avaliable for you), and then clicked on the "get cookies.txt" plugin icon to export your cookies file to disk? (I'm being verbose because I need more accurate information to verify your workflow). Remember, the plugin only exports your current tabs cookies, so make sure when you click on the icon your viewing the tab where your R18 webpage (logged in) is loaded.
3. The location of your cooikes file does not really matter. Placing it in the Jav-It folder just makes running things easier. However, if you launch Jav-It from another location be aware that your file paths need to be relative to where you are launching it from. To eliminate this posibility, lets just specify fully qualified paths for now. That is, write "c:\temp\r18_cookies.txt" (or whever you saved it) instead of just "r18_cookies.txt".
4. Can you copy the direct output of your run, including the initial command line your using? This will help me figure out what your missing, since your problem seems to be a unique case!
I think I got it this time!
The only thing I did different was that the whole time my browser was in incognito mode so I turned that off this time around(not sure if that was actually the issue, but it works now). I noticed right away that the cookie file had more lines of text, when before it was just a single line for the past day.
And I can confirm that VR is downloading fine
Thanks for your help!
-edit - Was also wondering if your program has the ability to decrypt r18 files that I already have downloaded? Just wondering because they only give me the UHD file if accessed through a phone, and I already have the file but it's useless at the moment. If that's not possible it's fine, you've helped me out a lot already :D
Hi again,
Unfortunately, any content downloaded outside of Jav-It will be stuck with whatever DRM was applied to it. Jav-It works by pretending to be the browser and decrypting the video as it is being sent to it. The encryption key used is the one supplied to it at stream time and this key has a limited lifespan. This prevents people from just outright sharing the keys for a particular stream. But if you want a less restrictive copy, you can download and decrypt the stream on your PC and simply copy the movie over to your mobile device. Less DRM means more video players will be able to read it no problem!
Cheers!
Edit: And yes, being in Incognito mode will cause issues with your cookies, because the whole point of going in that mode is to prevent things like cookies from surviving your history. (^_^);
bro, I'm wondering if you could tell me how to download VR vid step by step, I follow the step that dev gave, the first few VR vid does not succeed =, it said not valid cookies or something like that., finally I found one that VR content is downloable but the program said VR stream is not available at the moment...
This is what I got from the CMD

Hi, new to Jav-it. Just downloaded the app and unzipped, but when clicking on the jav-it.exe file, a cmd window pops up and disappears and nothing happens. Any help is appreciated. Also, how can I get the content ID of the video if their sales page is no longer available? I already have downloaded files from R18 but I understand that this process cannot decrypt already downloaded files. Is there any app that can?
If you stream the video on R18, you can find the ID as part of the URL.
As for running the program, check this thread and download the guide. Then run the download.bat. It's the easiest way to download your files.
I just found out R18 is shutting down. I have over 400+ movie files I've downloaded over the years from R18 in my Library. They suddenly decided to shut down but will not give us all an unlock code to the files we have already purchased. Is there any way of converting files or getting another player to play them? I've already downloaded them onto my HDD but without their verification for the player, I can't access them. Is there a solution to this? I'm sure everyone is wondering now. HELP PLEASE?!?!
