Media Downloader looses extension svtplay-dl after Windows restart #385

Closed tnilzon closed 3 months ago

tnilzon commented 3 months ago

After installing Media Downloader, and also adding the extension svtplay-dl, every thing works as expected (Media Downloader finds the svtplay-dl.exe during launch, and downloads works perfectly). But after a Windows restart, Media Downloader does not find the svtplay-dl.exe anymore. Instead, during launch of Media Downloader an error message is displayed:

[media-downloader] Failed to find executable "svtplay-dl.exe" [media-downloader] Error, executable to backend "svtplay-dl" could not be found.

Media Downloader version: 4.4.0.132001/4.4.0.190749 svtdplay-dl version: 4.69 Windows 11 Pro version: 10.0.2263 B22631

svtplay-dl folder is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Media Downloader\3rdParty svtplay-dl.json is located in 'C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\media-downloader\engines.v1

Post all the text on the basic downloader tab.

Think I have found a solution by myself. After adding the path in Windows Environment Variables to the install of svtplay-dl, it looks like it is working. BR Tomas N

Your solution is wrong.

Look at the circled path in the image below and then go to the equivalent path on your system and inside of it, you will see a folder named "bin". You should put svtplay-dl in the bin folder. All runtime data are found in this "App Data Path".

You should put svtplay-dl in C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\media-downloader\bin path.

Ok, but my solution also works.

But I will correct it according to your advice.

Many thanks!

The git version can now auto download and auto update svtplay-dl.
