Flashgot doesn't capture media any more

Post by mhrichter »

I am running Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 with Flashgot 1.2.1.23. Ever since 1.2.1.20 or 1.2.1.21 came out, I can no longer capture ANY media files (audio or video) at all. It simply stopped working and I don't know why. I also run Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100317 SeaMonkey/2.0.4, but I never use Seamonkey to run or capture media files because there's a bug in Seamonkey (and Firefox) that screws up all media after about 24 hours continuous run time and I run Seamonkey all the time continuously. I only use Firefox to play media, and flashgot used to work fine but stopped altogether two or three revisions back. What happens is that the flashgot save window comes up, starts to do something and then disappears, usually in a second or less.

I run exclusively on Linux machines, and mine is a 64-bit platform (Athlon II X4).

Please advise or let me know when this gets fixed.

If you revert to an older version, http://flashgot.net/feed, does it work?

Yes, version 1.2.1.17 works, but not 1.2.1.18 or newer.
