Idk what is going on but avst video downloader stopped working, I tried restarting, Reinstalling, updating, pretty much everything at this point.
Video downloader just doesn’t seem to work.

23

I can confirm the problem and have reported it to Avast.
Let’s see if that helps to get the problem fixed.

24

Mine stopped working on 10-27-2020 as well. I put in a ticket and re installed but still not working. Just an fyi

25

Dev-Info: We’re checking this now, it seems that there’s another change at YT side.

26

Hello everyone,

we’ll be releasing a fix for this Youtube problem very soon so you should get the new version VideoDownloader 2.3.107 not later then tomorrow. Let me know if that works :wink:

Thanks for reporting!

Hello Everyone

Like other users I have a problem with it.

I no longer have the video downloader icon don’t appearing in the browser so am unable to download any videos. Have I done something to make extension disappear?

Thanks for your answer.

28

Still hoping for that new release. Thanks.

hi Hazard2 & Bob

I no longer have the video downloader icon don't appearing in the browser
In the "Video Downloader" v2.3.107 extension details, try to disable "allow in toolbar" and then re-enable it. In my case the icon at the top is displayed again ;)
30

First you have to be able to get version 2.3.107 which for me isn’t currently available.

31

Sorry , as far I’m concerned , I have it
that’s why I specify in my message that I need to have this version…the manual update doesn’t work for you?

32

I’m still on version 104 and it doesn’t update.
I’s currently being discussed in the Slack forum.

33

ok, I hope this will allow you to update soon

let’s wait for other returns here because even with version 2.3.107 , the icon was not present on the top right, it was necessary to do what I pointed out #28

34

Confirmed, same here.

I’m running Avast Secure Browser version 86.1.6739.112 with video downloader 2.3.107 on a Acer Predator laptop with win 10 version 1909. I’ve tried toggling the video downloader off and on…restarting the browser and the computer and i cant get it to show the youtube icon or the green download above the video screen in youtube videos. I have the same version of windows 10 and browser Version 86.1.6938.199 and video downloader version 2.3.107 on my desktop computer and it works fine so i’m sure it isn’t the videos i’m trying to download off of youtube being blocked or it would block on both computers…any suggestions??? I cant seem to update the browser version on the Acer laptop to the one i have on my desktop (the laptop says my browser is up to date)

It’s working on Window 10 20H2

37

This is very strange. I downloaded some YT vids at 11.30am yesterday. When I came back to download some more at 6.30pm (this is all NZ time) the video downloader was no longer working. Nor was it working on the videos I downloaded successfully earlier in the morning. Yet I was already on the latest version of the browser both times (86.1.6938.199) as the browser updated the day before (according to my control panel), and I was also already running version 2.3.107 of the downloader.

It still works fine on dailymotion, just not on YT. My guess is YT did something in that six hour window to stop the downloader from working. I’ve had no updates in that period (windows, graphics, nothing…) that could have interfered.

Running windows 10 1909 (2004/20H2 id blocked due to audio driver incompatibility) & windows defender.

38

Just checked and as you can see, it’s working here.

You might want to try restarting your computer.

39

A restart has not helped. I just searched the video you used in your example and it does not work for me, even if it does work for you. As I said, it was functioning fine on exactly the same browser and extension version yesterday AM but not yesterday PM or today. Perhaps another browser extension has updated that is interfering, as I make a habit of checking for extension updates each browsing session. The only other thing to change was an apparent line drop out, as I see my IP has changed. My router log shows this happened within that 6hr window. I doubt that could be the cause though…

Is the video downloader extension still 2.3.107?
