    YouTube Movies 6.2.0.1 - I can't download *anything* from YouTube... no analyzing window appears

    I *completely* uninstalled my old version of StreamFab... including ALL folders, registry keys, and C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Local\CEF. I then downloaded the full offline installer streamfab_x64_6201.exe and installed it with default settings.

    After some fuss, I was able to log in to YouTube in StreamFab, but the expected result should be that if I go to a video, the "analyzing" box should come up and give me the option to download.

    It doesn't.

    Unless I'm missing something?

    So, I cannot download *anything* on YouTube. I mainly wanted to download a movie I purchased, so that's what I initially tried to do, and I didn't get the analyzing window. I then checked and found that this is the case for me on *all* YouTube videos (not just YouTube Movies).

    I checked and made sure that the checkbox for "Automatically start analyzing when content is available" is checked under Settings -> General -> Auto Analysis. It is.

    Is this message in qef.log relevant? -

    Code:
    [1019/230549.086:INFO:CONSOLE(0)] "The resource https://i.ytimg.com/generate_204 was preloaded using link preload but not used within a few seconds from the window's load event.

    but 2nd Analyzing (before Downloading) never finished.

    I think it's the delay problem (7 hours ago) - see here
    because 8 days old title "Mothership" from same channel works.

      Yes, yt-dlp (freeware) works on regular youtube, but not in StremFab. Note sure why it works for you, I tried again and saw JUST a BRIEF flash of the analyzing window, then it disappeared.

      I'm trying to download a YouTube Movies title that I purchased that is encrypted so yt-dlp will not work for that. The video(s) from my logs are just random titles that I clicked. Nothing works for me.

        I tried DailyMotion and I got the same result... no analyzing window on any video. WTH?

        I logged in to the Amazon downloader and that works... I get an analyzing window and it prompts for what to download.

        What could stop me from getting the analyzing window on YouTube and DailyMotion?

          > saw JUST a BRIEF flash of the analyzing window, then it disappeared.

          I already know this from other providers (from users seeking help),
          that there is never an error in the log, so i can only test myself.

          But you have found the button at the bottom right ?
          Because you wrote from "Auto Analysis" in your 1st post ..
          .. that setting is useless for YT - see also here
          Try to disable "Auto Analysis" and retry..

            Well... this is embarrassing... I had no idea what you were talking about with regard to the button on the bottom right... then I saw it, the orange circular button with an arrow pointing downwards. I use a network activity monitoring application called DU Meter and I have it configured as a small rectangular semi-transparent window on the bottom right, so it covered this button. But even when moving that, I thought that orange circular button was part of YouTube and was a scrolling icon!

            Anyways, in the past, on YouTube in StreamFab, I always just went to any video (regular or DRM) and the analysis would happen automatically. So I interpreted this as a bug.

            Anyways, thanks to you I learned something, and you solved my problem, as I was able to do the DRM download! So thanks!!!

                I am also having YT issues, it has logged me out and the login screen appears for a couple of seconds then refreshes to the main YT screen showing videos.

                  For the YT Login issue there are multiple topics in forum - the last from today: here
                  You have caught one of the few who has nothing to do with YT login problems.

                  I tried it once and it worked straight away - from the previous topic:
