Did SF remove the ability to download YT playlists?

Here is my log.

Here is my log.

You can't dl from yt because your SF is incomplete (Downloader missing)

[Info]:  checkInteractiveProcess: exe not exists!!!!!  "C:/Program Files/DVDFab/StreamFab/YoutubeDL/YoutubeToMP3Process.exe"
[Info]:  ClientProcess : exe not exists!!!!!  "C:/Program Files/DVDFab/StreamFab/YoutubeDL/YoutubeToMP3Process.exe"

The file may have been removed/blocked by a "security tool" - see here
(2/72 security vendors flagged this file as malicious - info)

So what do I do? Delete it and reinstall? I honestly don't know what to do?

yes, reinstall the latest version using the offline installer

You may want to exclude the whole path to Streamfab if your antivirus is affecting it.

C:\Program Files\DVDFab\StreamFab

Most decent antivirus allow that and also have a quarantine or at least log what it quarantines, you can check that as well.

Thank you all, here is what I did, I uninstalled. restarted, I then reinstalled but with the AV turned off for 10 minutes.
It is working on YT now and it also works when the AV is turned on for Real time protection.
So that allowed me to install it properly.
Thank you .

I did a fresh install of SF. I inputted the address you suggested. The download button remained greyed, and when I clicked it said no video could be found. Copying the address to trigger a download box only allowed the downloading of that specific video again, not the playlist.

I had that issue at an earlier date, but since then I ensured that the firewall allowed the service through, so I'm not sure why it's showing as an issue?

My last BD Internet Security using was before SF ..
.. but I'm sure that YoutubeToMP3service.exe
is not the same as YoutubeToMP3process.exe
(two different Files)

I added the missing rule to Bitdefender. I even disabled the firewall at one point and did a fresh install of SF and I'm still getting the same error message. I don't know where I'm going wrong. Bitdefender is the only security modules that are running on my pc.

[DonnaD]

Most recent StreamFab.log attached, after BD rule added

[Germania]

Most recent n460042 attached, after BD rule added

I don't see any difference in your log

Either BitDefender has not disabled the Windows Firewall
or it is ignoring your setting or treating the file as malware.

Just try it after (temporary) deactivating BitDefender
and if necessary the Windows Firewall

[DonnaD]

Okay, I've completely uninstalled BD and have disabled Windows Defender Firewall (which wasn't enabled whilst BD was installed). I am still no further forward. I don't understand why I'm getting a Firewall warning when I currently don't have a Firewall running (?)
