Nothing happens when I paste a YouTube link #6

When I click on YouTube Downloader, I get the toolbar arrow.

When I click on that arrow and copy and paste the YouTube link into the box if I hit ENTER or DOWNLOAD, either one, I get a spinning icon but then nothing happens.

I have tried several YouTube links with the same results.

Could you send me a link that doesn't work for you? Because it seems to work here.

One such link that I just tried is: https://youtu.be/E2pAslx5az8

Here are the steps I took to use this. I went to the following link: https://github.com/DenBeke/YouTube-Downloader-for-macOS Then I went to the Download section to Latest version and used the download link.

When I unzip the file I have a Youtube Downloader app that when I click on puts the down arrow in the toolbar.

I did not run an "install" of anything. Did I miss a step to make this work properly?

Thanks for your help.

I missed the step of updating the readme :) That link pointed to an older version.

Head over to the release page to download the latest version: https://github.com/DenBeke/YouTube-Downloader-for-macOS/releases

That should do the trick...
