Interesting problem.

On Windows XP, running the last version of Chrome that works on XP (v49 or so), VDH works great on pornhub.com downloading mp4 and webm.

pornhubpremium (their pay service) doesn't work in that old of a version of chrome at all, so I boot up Windows 7.

VDH in the latest version of Chrome refuses to capture anything off either pornhub or pornhubpremium. 

I think it's something to do with HTML5 which the older version of Chrome doesn't support, so it reverts to Flash which work more reliably.

Anyhow, VDH refuses to capture anything other than 678 byte files, which obviously aren't the clips. Companion App doesn't help. 

I have to use competing stream capture plugins and even those only capture the stream about 50% of the time, requiring F5 after F5 after F5.

I understand to debug this may require buying a subscription to pornhubpremium (the links appear to work differently than regular pornhub). But it's a one week $1 trial. Just be sure to cancel the credit card or subscription.

If you see the same problem with pornhub and pornhubpremium, there is no need to go with the hassle of using a premium account.

A 678 bytes file is very likely to be an HTML document stating an error message. You should have a look at this file using a text editor or share that file here.

I gave a try downloading a video from Pornhub on Chrome and it worked as expected.

Before the upgrade, VDH worked on pornhub, but not premium. They do something differently on the premium site, despite it looking exactly the same. For users, the benefit to the premium is the ability to watch 1080p and higher. They may encode the videos differently for the premium site, knowing that 1080p+ are going to be downloaded.

Another user recently posted a problem with VDH and pornhub. It's apparently a known issue.

VDH can work on pornhub, but not pornhub_premium . It is in the latest version of Chrome and firefox

It can't get 720p or lower video on pornhub_premium, but  work on pornhub.

Because 1080p  video only on pornhub_premium, so I need VDH can work on there.

PLEASE
