Internet download manager not working
-
I'm testing. Both grabber and link catching works.
Have you tried to remove the IDM extension from Vivaldi and reinstall IDM again (with closed vivaldi)? Maybe there's an old extension installed. Check also if browser integration for Vivaldi on IDM is on.
Sometimes the grabber popup is hidden, you have to play with browser window and stand still on a video when you see its blue area. Then you can move it where you want. (I had the same issue on chrome time ago).
However I usually use only the link catching as the grabber doesn't work on some sites (I use another extension for that) -
Yes, I tried that, but it still doesn't work.
Link catching works, but a download button for video does not appear. -
Please fix it, right now, this issue keeps me away from making vivaldi as my default browser.
-
It still doesn't work. This is quite sad, since IDM is definitely the best video grabber for Chromium browsers.
Frankly I never understood why people use it.
There is Jdownloader it does practically everything better than IDM, it's free it's constantly updated and works w/o any integration inside the bowser(s).
All you need to do is to copy the link )or the address containing multiple links), and confirm the download.
-
JDownloader is not a replacement for IDM's video grabber. JD works nicely with YT, but it doesn't detect every other video as reliably as IDM. It's also quite bloated and I have to make more clicks to download a YT video in VP9/Opus format.
-
On youtube no grabber seems to work. I use an extension only for it
(not from chrome store, due google policies). -
Could you provide a hint how one could find this extension?

I think you never tested it thoroughly.
I have yet to see a page where JD doesn't work, and downloading whatever YT video in the format you like is as simple as choose the wanted file from the list.
-

As I said no extension neded.
Just use JD, copy the YT address page and choose the the file you want to download.
-
This is not a solution but just a very crippled workaround.
This is not a solution. Is a better solution IMO.
It works just like the good old Getright, but it works also with media files, w/o messing one or more browser with extensions.
That said I'm not judging your personal lickings, i wrote about JD just because most of the users aren't aware of it

Thanks for this discussion -
I'm a longtime dedicated IDM'er too - it actually worked briefly yesterday upon my portable install of
1.4.589.11 (Stable channel) (32-bit) @ w7 64bit Ultimate, but now it's not ??But I'm more than willing to change my habits, because Vivaldi is "Saving" webpages to .pdf format
including live hyperlinks IN UNDER 3 SECONDS ! NO SHITE !
whereras Acrobat Pro plugin takes 1 - 5 minutes ! and no other pdf program I know of saves embedded links.So, I'm "almost there" to do EVERYTHING w/ Vivaldi - & I really want to, too!
So … will the JD user-lovers please address the dreaded "Java" issue?
maybe some discussion & ref-links on how to set it up in a very safe, restricted fashion w/o ongoing high maintenance -
constant clicking to allow/disallow/block/unblock, etc !Thank You

What issue? O_o
JD is a java program that's all, you don't need to install java system-wide, nor any java plugin in the browser, to have JD up and running.

Thanks for this clarification - I plan to give it a go now

@Dietrich: No developer, to my knowledge, has looked at this. As a general rule, compatibility with any single one of the million or so Chrome extensions gets little to no attention during the development cycle.
If a given extension is complained of a lot, however, as IDM has been lately, that's a sign a significant number of users want it to work. In such a case, once basics are attended to (and they have not been yet, for the impending release of 1.8 Stable), its possible the devs will get a look at it for the next version. No guarantees.
-
@Dietrich - If the issue is with Vivaldi, then Vivaldi will have to fix it, no? And if Vivaldi will have to fix it, then we will have to wait upon the pleasure of the developers - who have a ton of things to do. They will address any problems with IDM if/when they can, in the normal course. Vivaldi is far from a mature/complete browser, and the primary emphasis right now is on getting it basically done - not attending to its compatibility with every possible thing any and every user may want to use with it. As I said, since complaints about IDM are fairly popular, The devs will look at that problem sooner than they would some obscure extension no one uses.

@Dietrich There was a language problem
No developer, to my knowledge, has looked at this.
He actually meant "To my knowledge, none of the Vivaldi developers have looked at this problem (yet) ... etc".
He did NOT mean "No (IDM is wrong) a Vivaldi developer has looked at this ... etc".
-
@Dietrich: TbGbe is exactly right. The English construction of "No developer" means "Not any developer. Not a single developer." It's the same usage as "No man has seen the face of death and lived to tell of it" or "No Belgian has climbed K2."
If I had wanted to disagree with the earlier user, I would have to have used a comma semicolon or dash, and specified a singular or plural case for "developer" as in, "No, developers have looked at this." or "No, a developer has looked at this." The next sentence, if I were to make sense, would have to say what the developer(s) found when they looked. But as none looked, nothing has been found.
It is accurate to say, "To my knowledge, none of the Vivaldi developers have looked at this problem."
-
It still does not work. The answer from the developers of IDM is the problem of Vivaldi browser
When fix? -
@Alexey71 have you sent this to vivaldi.com/bugreport ?
