YouTube Downloader no longer working at all #38

Open jefferysmall opened 3 years ago

jefferysmall commented 3 years ago

YouTube Video and Audio Downloaded (Dev Edt.) 1.1.2 Firefox 83 Xubuntu 20.04

Google made some recent changes to YouTube and the downloader stopped working in all cases that I have tried. When firing up the app, the orange overlay reports "Unable to retrieve video metadata" and stops. This was working properly up until 3-4 weeks ago.

Is this a known problem and are there plans to find a workaround?

Thanks.

Why YD say "Unable to retrieve video metadata" ? Could you enlighten me please? Thank you in advance for your reply.

I don't know what a successful pull request merge is. Could you explain to me? Thank you.

This image shows what happens every time the Download Panel is loaded. It is consistent with all YouTube videos I have tried.

"pull request merge"?? I also don't understand this. Was it a comment intended for a different thread?

ENIGME547 commented 3 years ago

There's nothing we can do about it. Google will always oppose free YouTube video downloads.

I can get to the downloads (FF Nightly Latest) but the download fails immediately in FF Downloads.
