It doesn't work anymore!

[ttcg52]

Adding a link and pressing download button doesn't work anymore. It does nothing. Stays on 0%. Left it for couple of minutes but stays the same.

I'm using Windows 7 32-bit. and version 0.4.0.0 of youtube-dl-gui.

What could be the problem?

thanks!

I tried it. On my Windows 7 32-bit it doesn't work, even thought I installed ALL MS runtimes. While, on Windows 10, it works fine, with no need to install additional software like ms runtime, or .net framework.

I liked youtube-dl-gui more though. Because it worked on all systems (at least on Win 7 32 bit, which is the most primitive system which might be used today, even though some use XP still, but that's another story.

I would like for this issue to be fixed.

I understand, you can contact the developer, he is very friendly and helpful and attentive to users and other new features are expected in sha Allah

FireDM is written in Python and it does not need additional installations, all the needed stuff is inside the archive (lib sub-folder), just download the latest archive from Releases, extract it and run the executable file (FireDM-GUI.exe).

I believe it is safe to assume this project is abandonware. I understand this happens more often as we would like, but people do have lives to live, and sometimes that just becomes priority.

I would suggest however, that a note be made in the README stating that the project is not maintained and is just presented as-is, at the time presented. This lets us users know that we should not select the project as a software to use, but as a software for possible fork.
