Open Video Downloader crashing on startup #242

Open ghost opened 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug The program crashes everytime after i first boot up the PC and use it.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Restart your PC
  2. Browse youtube for a funny video you'd like to download and copy it
  3. Open Open Video Downloader (OPD)
  4. The app will check for updates of the yt-dl and other depencies, import the link from clipboard and then proceed to freeze and crash

Expected behavior I expect the app to not crash and behave like a good little boy.

My experience is very similar to DutchEclipse's . When I first launch the program and add a video to download it freezes for about 30s and then the program works perfectly fine until I shut down/reboot PC. It doesn't completely crash for me unless I start clicking on it, If I wait about 30s, even when it says (not responding), it goes back to normal and then I can use the program without any issues until the next reboot/shutdown. And in my case, I'm using Win10. Either way, thank you very much for the program, I've been using it for the past 5 months or so, and it's amazing!

I have same problem, it freezes after start. Seems Windows defender scanning it every time and don't like some files from it, i suspect new YT-DLP, 99% chance that's because of it.

Weird, i got no issues with Windows defender at all.

Today I confirmed that it's a windows defender/security. I added downloader folder to excluded list that is not gonna be scanned and now program working properly.
