I tried to download different videos from vimeo - now it began to give this error message.
I didn't change anything in my directory settings, just in case I updated the VdhCoApp application to version 1.6.3., nothing helped. I configured it to download to another folder, with "write" permissions for Everything, and it didn't help.

hi,

can you share a public URL to a vimeo video with this problem?
but I think it's a HD local config issue...

What you wrote to me does not say anything.
Most likely this is a private video, and it is built-in so that you cannot open it directly on vimeo - however, before such videos were downloaded and there were no problems.
"HD local config" - this does not tell me anything at all, since I did not change the settings.

Sorry, HD = hard drive.
I meant it's probably a problem on your computer, disk access.

File access is a file system, not a hard drive. At the very beginning, I wrote that I ruled out this problem.
Reread the first message.
The browser is launched "from under the administrator", the folder is given "write" permissions for all accounts.
Until a certain moment everything was rocking fine, now with Vimeo it began to write like that. I think something was updated in Vimeo itself, but they did not begin to refine it in the plugin code.

I doubt a website can do anything regarding your file system. There must a local  issue. Neither did we change anything.
The problem is with temporary files directory, or some missing temp files at aggregation time.
I forward to the dev just in case.

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'e:\temp"\vdh-6156mHBNUXuyEJd4.tmp.part'
...

The character " after e:\temp is weird. Not sure where it comes from.

Note that the only time i remember someone reporting this issue, it was with cyrillic characters in the video title, hence the filename. Is it also the case here ?

Instead of the QuickDownload action, which uses the video name as file name, can you try using the Download action and rename the file before saving to something very safe using only basic english characters. Does it change anything ?

The browser is launched from under the admin.
There are rights to the temp folder for all accounts, and to the folder where it is configured to download.
Until some point, everything was pumping normally, I didn't change anything in the settings.

The file is downloaded from the stream, I don't ask anything, just select "Download without choosing a folder". I download files that have a name in Latin.

Thanks. So we can rule out an issue related to the filename. It would have weird anyway.

We can also rule out a potential problem with filesystem rights. The error would have been EPERM and not ENOENT.

I think the issue here is related to what VDH believes is the system temp directory. This directory is given by the system to the coapp, it's not something you can setup in VDH. Normally on Windows, it is %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp (like C:\Users\john\AppData\Local\Temp). In your case, it has been changed to E:\temp but with an extra character " added to the temp directory file path. Could it be that your temp directory has been setup at system level to be E:\temp" while you were trying to set it up to E:\temp to take benefit of a faster disk E: ? The name of the environment variable in Windows that points to the temp directory is %temp%

The simplest way to test this is to open on Windows the program cmd and type echo %temp%. Can you share the result ?

Or you could open a Command Prompt and enter this:

set temp

Even more educational is this:

set

My temp folder for temporary files was initially configured this way and everything worked. In my opinion, such a path as e:\temp\ - should not lead to problems for any programs.

I found a small problem, thanks to your message.
There was a symbol " that prevented going to the temporary folder using variable the %temp%
I will look further, it will help or not.
