Link Finder Expert stopped working - Channel 4

Post by Pyrod »

I have Videotube Downloader pro version 14.21.1006 and yesterday I tried to download a file from https://www.channel4.com using Link Finder Expert but I dont get any downloads available in the download list, I have tried Link Finder with other Channel 4 shows and still the same. The Link Finder worked a week ago when I downloaded succesfully the same channel 4 show. Please advise.

Make sure you are using latest version and remove the cache folder from VideoTube Pro\filespro2 folder.

Thanks for the post. It's been driving me mad! I thought it was some settings I applied. I managed to grab one series but now the Link Finder can't sniff the page that's streaming. Would be nice to have it working again.

Thanks. Removing the Cache worked but only one time, the next time i used Link Finder Expert the same happens and I have to remove the Cache again. Would be nice for a proper FIX not a work around!

Hey Chris. I have updated ChrisPC to version 14.21.1123 and the problem still continues I even went as far as removing the program in its entirety and re installing version 14.21.1123 again and the problem still continues. There is obviously a bug in the software and needs to be investigated thoroughly not just giving a blanket response of removing the "cache folder."
I have noticed quite a few users are having the same issues and the response has been to just simply remove the cache folder! I personally dont find it amusing to having to remove the cache folder everytime i have to use it and i'm sure no other users find it amusing as well so please provide a permanent fix for this issue.
FYI I have added a short video of the issue at https://imgur.com/a/Hgy3Q39

From your video, you just play the ads.
You need to wait for the actual video to start playing for at least 30 seconds.

I have also found this problem, and needed to remove the cache a few times for it to work again.
