VDH stopped working

[octanesp2]

It wont download anything,  it was working fine a few hours ago then when i opened my browser now its not downloading anything.

My license key  is showing as verified and the version i have is 

Version 8.0.0.5

Why has this suddenly stopped working ? 

Do i need to reinstall and redownload the ap

I am using Windows 7 64 bit , could this be the reason why it wont work? 

It was working fine  earlier in the day. 

I reloaded my browser just a few minutes later and tried to download. It failed to download anything . The file is visible but its not completing the download it stays at 0 % 

Under the platform section it says the following : 

Platform Win x86-64

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/109.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Found companion app: VdhCoApp 1.6.3

Companion app binary: C:\Program Files\net.downloadhelper.coapp\bin\net.downloadhelper.coapp-win-64.exe

I'm also on Windows 7 but I am using Firefox.  I don't think being on W7 by itself is a problem.  I don't know what the problem could be on Chrome.  I don't know anything about Chrome.  You should also have figured out by now that I am not an employee of VDH.  I'm just another user, like you.

There was one thing we had to do with VDH for Firefox after the first 8.0.0.x version appeared.  I describe it in detail elsewhere on this forum.  Look for a thread with the title "How to download from YouTube" & skip down to the post dated July 17.  There are instructions there for an extra one-time step that we needed to perform.  I don't know if it's relevant on Chrome.  You can try it.  Maybe it makes a difference, maybe not.  Maybe it's not even available in Chrome.  Like I say, I'm just another user but I don't have Chrome, never have, know nothing about it.

You should also try reloading whatever page you are trying to download from.  You should also try launching playback for a couple of seconds.  If the player on the web page offers a way to change resolution, try that, too.  Try each thing at least 3 times.  These are all tricks I have found useful with Firefox.  Maybe they will help you, too.

 Thank you for your detailed response Wild Willy, i looked up he thread in question and followed your advice on the post dated 17 July.

Sadly the download  is still not working. The downloader   picks up the file in question but never initiates.

Ive tried this on multiple sites and the outcome is the same the download never starts.

All was working fine until yesterday afternoon when it updated to the new version and since then it wont work.

I dont know what to do anymore?

No  developer has replied yet.

I have the same problem since this update.
What worked for me was using Firefox, unfortunately Chrome doesn't work anymore. Chrome version is 8.0.0.5, and Firefox 8.0.0.0. , my fear is that Firefox will be updated and present the same error.

Can you share a public URL of a video that can't be downloaded with your config? W7+Chrome116, is that it? Not sure we have this to reproduce but we'll see.

That's not the video I'm having trouble with, however I found this one that isn't working either. But in firefox it works.That's not the video I'm having trouble with, however I found this one that isn't working either. But in firefox it works.
