Nothing can be downloaded, the integrated browser does not load and does not allow login img

Please check if you have the WebView2 runtime installed. The official download from Microsoft can be found here

I have uninstalled everything related to Edge, is WebView2 part of the Edge browser? Is it a mandatory requirement?

hama3254 commented 9 months ago

The WebView2 is basically just a way to bring the edge browser into .net applications. I use it to manage the cookies used for request.

I did a version without the browser in the past (see https://github.com/hama3254/Crunchyroll-Downloader-v3.0/discussions/617#discussioncomment-4335974) and while the code for that is in the downloader I more or less scrapped that idea.

Is it a mandatory requirement?

So the answer is technically no, but you are on your own here.

Alternatives would be using a VM for the Downloader or a command line tool like yt-dlp

At the moment I have opted for the quickest and easiest way, download Edge again and its functionalities, even so, I will try that alternative version without browser, thanks for answering and resolving my doubts, now everything works perfectly again.
