Hi,

I've had a problem with it for the last few days. It copied and loads the file as usual, then asks to select Video format and quality - which is what has happened in the past and all good.

But then get a message - Stream cannot be accessed.

Hi Chris,

I use Unlocator, but don't use their vpn normally. Did turn their vpn on, but still didn't work.

However, I still have a copy of Aimersoft Video Converter which I used to use before using Videotube Downloader - tried downloading from BBC iplayer and it did work - not sure if this helps you determine the problem.

I have Nord VPN.

With VPN on, I can stream from BBC but can't download.

Thanks

We can't determine at the moment, why copy/paste mode doesn't work for NordVPN and Unlocator.
Probably some streams are blocked or not routed correctly. You can use Link Finder to detect the streams used by the browser.

If you don't have the PRO version, you can try Getflix.com.au, has free trial and copy/paste mode works without issues.

Hi Chris,

I've got the VideoTube Downloader Pro - Lifetime License, but couldn't get the Link Finder to work.

So I tried Getflix and this worked. As my subscription to Unlocator expires in early Sept, I'll cancel Unlocator and sign up to Getflix

thanks for your help

Hi Peter,

Did getflix work?

Seems getflix doesn't work for UK netflix, so working out the need to keep Nord and also get getflix for BBC?
