I'm getting a series of "DRM not enabled on browser" errors today when using Link Finder Expert. It has been fine for days. Videos play normally through the browser.

Also, I think the other problem with videos missing seconds on the end is the way that the videos are being stitched together at the final stage. The problem disappears when only d/loading 1 part at a time, but immediately appears when 2 parts are simultaneously downloading. Problem is worse with more parts. I don't think this is a latency issue now, as the problem is easy to reproduce and only happens at the end of the process.

Removing the cache folder and recreating it empty didn't fix it for me :(
Episode 1 worked fine last week in expert mode, but both episode 1 and episode 2 refuse to play this week and complain about enabling DRM

Yes, it worked for a short time when I reinstalled the app, but it doesn't matter how many times I remove the cache and restart the app at the moment, it has stopped working based on the DRM error. Interestingly, reinstalling the app did fix it temporarily one time, although the d/l link wasn't provided :wacko:

I posted a while ago around this issue and the removal of the Cache folder (That Chris suggested) worked fine for a while - I now get the issue again, and removing the Cache file does NOT resolve the issue - Over to you Chris (I have latest version 14.21.1123)

I'll keep looking into a work around in the meantime.

Have a new problem with All4 (UK). I can play various videos normally through various browsers, but the embedded browser in Link Finder Expert does not seem to be configured to allow DRM content and the All4 app is asking me to enable DRM.
This problem only appeared in the last 24 hours. I also have latest version 14.21.1123.

Hi all,

The video player engine used by browsers has been updated by Google to a newer version.
So for the moment Link Finder Engine won't load/play the new videos and will not find any MPD streams.

We are working finding a solution, there is no ETA on this.

Hi @Chris,
Just attempted to DL from CH4 and CH5 using the last Beta using Link Finder Expert but the Download box with stream did not pop up so checked and logged into Beta Forum and noticed a new release version (14.22.0114)- downloaded and still the same issue.
I have deleted the cache folder and still have no success.
Any help is appreciated.
David
