Could not download video using vdhcoapp-1.3.0

[zwieback]

I am using version 1.3.0 from the releases page.

And when I download the video, I get the following error:

Could not get information from media 'Firewall' from file '/tmp/vdh-22880Cpi7F8s3fsS6.tmp'. The file might be corrupted.

In the previous version (vdhcoapp-1.2.4) this issue did not occur.

It looks like you will have to download the source and build the companion app yourself against your native GLIBC 2.23 environment. I ran into the same issue but I managed to build it from source (with a little bit of trouble, fixing broken links, downgrading Node.js using NVM etc.).

I created Debian package, installed it, and managed to get it working. As for the app developer, would you like my "*.deb" file to save you some time? if so let me know where I can drop it so you can verify and test it yourself. I built it using my Ubuntu 16.04 workstation.

Sorry, this issue is not relevant, because I installed a new version of Linux Mint this year.
