Version 1.5.5.98 doesn't work with FDM

Post by PetrB »

After latest version (1.5.5.98) installation it stopped to work with Free Download Manager (v. 3.9.3 build 1360). After downgrade to 1.5.5.97 it started to work again.

I also have a problem with FDM with some sites (on many sites it works fine).

Here's an example where I have a problem:
http://10tv.nana10.co.il/Category/?CategoryID=400782

Flashgot Media detects the video. It says 185MB.
It works correctly if I set Flashgot Media to use the browser Built-In Download manager.
if I set Flashgot Media to use FDM the download finishes immediately with 0MB.
Downgrading to Flashgot 1.5.5.97 didn't solve the problem for me.

Autostart Downloads is OFF

FDM works fine for me (and for LL25255252, apparently) with FlashGot 1.5.5.98.
@PetrB: could you upgrade FlashGot again and check whether the problem persists? If it does, please send me your FlashGot Options|Advanced|Show Log output by email, thanks.

@LL25255252: unfortunately FlashGot Media works best with the Built-in (that's why you can set separately which download manager use with this feature) because some subtle download parameters required for some media downloads (e.g. on Youtube) cannot be reliably passed to external download managers.

@Giorgio Maone, thanks for the quick reply.
1. You said: "FlashGot Media works best with the Built-in DM" but is there an exteranl free DM which you can recommend that works better than FDM with Flashgot ?

2. Very strange...a few hours have past and suddenly Flashgot Media with FDM now works fine on the same video I've posted above...
