Does not work on Vivaldi #55

Open zany130 opened 3 years ago

zany130 commented 3 years ago

does not intercept downloads in Vivaldi. the old version before being added to chrome web store worked (and still works) specifically version 2.0.0 from July 2020. Motrix is installed from the chaotic-aur arch repo

It works now as long as you disable prompt before download it doesn't work with that option set @gautamkrishnar

@gautamkrishnar Sadly it doesn't, I have that option off and it will not intercept. It shows up in the webextension, and shows the progress, but it doesn't actually do the download with Motrix, it continues with Vivaldi itself.

So I followed @zany130 's advice of disabling the "save as" prompt, and that seemed to partly work.

I can see that Motrix intercepts the download, because it appears in a couple of milliseconds, then gets deleted from Vivaldi's download manager, but it never shows up in Matrox, which is odd.

Not really sure then i switched to using jdownloader instead of Motrix so i don't have Motrix installed...

RedSnt commented 2 years ago

So a thought I didn't really consider until just now after I installed FreeDownloadManager (FDM) + FDM extension, and it working, was: "what if the problem here is related to the RPC connection?" Gonna do some tests tomorrow with various browsers and settings and see if I can approximate the problem, because Motrix does look good. Open Source is important after all.

So one question for anyone looking at this (a year later, but with a new version release), have you set the RPC secret in both the Desktop App and in the extension?

I have too have the behavior for downloads not beginning if Prompt before Download is enabled, but if I left the key blank it will not work for me regardless. Just figured it may be worth a look
