microsoft Edge issue

[EC]

Hello 

I have been using Video Downloadhelper (Premium) on my Microsoft Edge with no issue until this evening. When I try to download a video, I can't get the dropdown menu. Please see the image attached. Please advise.

Yes, this is unfortunately the same issue as with the Chrome version a few days (we could not withdraw the faulty ongoing Edge review). As we did for VDH/Chrome, a new working VDH/Edge is now under review by the Edge team. It will automatically update in the next days.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm having the same issue myself it was working fine until a few hours ago, but it was working fine the rest of the day before that, so I will stay tuned to see the results, it is good to know you guys are working on this already.

As i said the fix is on its way.

This thread shows the resolution of the problem when the same issue happened for Chrome a few days ago: https://groups.google.com/g/video-downloadhelper-q-and-a/c/D-Oh7YuL9cE

The Chrome has released on Oct. 12rd, but when does the latest Edge version in MS addons store released?

[Wild Willy]

I'm not the least bit interested in Edge. But so many people are clamoring for this that
I went to the Microsoft store myself & searched for:

video downloadhelper
video download helper
vdh

I couldn't find it. Not even an older version of VDH. What is the matter with those
people?

By the same token, I also went here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/

The version of VDH showing there is still 7.6.0. What is the matter with those people?
At least for Firefox, we still have this:

https://www.downloadhelper.net/firefox/betas

VDH 7.6.3a6 beta is, as far as I can tell, the same as the not-yet-available general
availability public release 7.6.3. I've been using it since Michel posted it a couple of
months ago. Firefox users could do themselves a favor & just use that beta.

Just to be complete, I also tried this link that is advertised on the home page of our
Goole group as the place to get VDH for Chrome:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-downloadhelper/lmjnegcaeklhafolokijcfjliaokphfk

It didn't show me anything. Multiple searches on there didn't make VDH show up. But
maybe that's because I'm on Firefox. I got really tired of having to click the button
saying no I don't want to switch to Chrome. Maybe the fact that I'm on Firefox is the
explanation for my failure to find VDH on the Microsoft store as well.

So I sympathize with everybody who is itching to get the latest VDH but can't because the
various "stores" aren't updated yet. At least the VDH web site hosts the Firefox betas &
that is the perfect workaround.

[Wild Willy]

Wait. I remembered some recent posts about VDH being "age restricted" on the Chrome
store. Instead of dismissing the logon prompt, which I though was irrelevant, I actually
signed in with my Google user ID & password. Presto. Magic. There's VDH 7.6.3.3 for
Chrome. It sucks that you can't find VDH by a regular search on the Google store without
signing in. But that's the way it is, for spurious reasons which Michel has explained.

Now if we could just get the other 2 sources to cooperate.

[Wild Willy]

Thinking some more about this, I went here:

https://www.downloadhelper.net/install

That gives the links from the VDH web site to the 3 installs. For Firefox, that page
still says 7.6.0 is the latest stable release. That matches up with the Firefox
extensions site, even though it's supposed to show 7.6.3. I suppose the VDH web site
will get updated when Mozilla gets off their duff & approves the new version.

For Chrome, the page on the VDH web site says 7.6.3.3 is the latest stable release, which
does match the Chrome store. Give thanks for small miracles.

For Edge, the page on the VDH web site says 7.5.0.4 is the latest stable release. The
link there takes you to the elusive page on the Microsoft store that I was unable to find
via searches earlier. At least I didn't have to log in to view the page. Good thing,
too, because I don't have a user ID on that site. In any case, the Microsoft store does
not show version 7.5.0.4. It shows 7.6.3.2. So yes, they are dragging their feet
getting the 7.6.3.3 version onto that page.

It's too bad you can't host beta versions of the Chrome & Edge extensions on the VDH web
site like you can for the Firefox extension. Google & Microsoft are not exactly the most
responsive organizations. Especially Google, as we have been forcefully reminded
recently. Nor Mozilla, for that matter. But since the Firefox betas can be hosted on
the VDH web site, Mozilla can take as long as they want. We have access to the latest &
greatest version on the VDH web site without having to wait for anybody else to get their
act together.

The Edge extension has been released on Oct 14th.

We are waiting the fix to be published asap
