0013621: [Bug] v5.0.1.56 Update Engine always fail / Menu Check For Updates does nothing now ! ?
0013622: [Bug] Update fail consistently

Some notes about the recent release.
Downloader is by its nature a software that need to be very frequently updated, just to keep it compatible with many video sites that constantly changes the way they deliver their videos.
so staying up to date with Downloader is a key.
To simplify the process, we have introduced in V 5.0.1.56 an automatic update feature that is capable to update most part of the software in a very simple way: 1 click confirmation and that's all. We made it so most of the time Downloader don't even need to be restarted.

However, in some case this update is not possible without "elevation", which is executing the software under administrative privileges so to gain the write access to the files/folders that need to be updated.
V 5.0.1.56 did not include a mechanism to trigger this elevation, which is the root cause of most if not all the update failure reported with this version.
Starting from V5.0.1.57 the issue is addressed and if elevation is required, it'll be prompted.

5.0.1.56 Released 2018-12-04
Updated skin engine, 1 click update of extraction engine
==============================================
0013151: [Suggestion] maybe improve message about Visual C++ x86
0013553: [Bug] Conflicting OpenSSL dll disturb Downloader and prevent it from operating
0013578: [Feature Request] Visual Appearence: Update to Alphaskin 14
0013593: [Bug] Downloader fail to load with exception about OpenSSL
0013614: [Feature Request] Unsupported site: putlockers
0013619: [Feature Request] Automatic update of extraction engine

A side note about the new Automatic update engine: it's very new and designed to install hotfix and or updates when they are needed.
The overall goal of this automatic update engine is to provide faster and easier solutions to download failures, often without needing to restart downloader or to open a web browser to download a new version.
So when there is a failed download in the download queue, a check for update is issued and if one is available, it can be installed in 1 click and all the failed download resubmitted automatically after the update.
So far this autoupdate feature is limited to components of the network extraction engine of downloader, but it is very scalable and will be used to update parts of software such as user interface langage, visual appearance and the entire software itself, in semi-automatic (1 click) or fully automatic (0 click) way.

As a warmup of this automatic update engine, on the first launch of this beta version user should be notified of the availability of an update - this is normal.

Not sure if it's me, but I'm having a singular browser issue when Downloader is running. Difficulties seem to be isolated to Firefox Developers Edition 60.0b12. Initial looks are that pages load as text, not HTML, and then bad certificate messages and finally, no connection. However, when I use Firefox Quantum 59.0.2 all is fine. Using 64bit versions.

Using Windows XP SP3, 5.1.0.56 gives the following error:
"VsoDownloader.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point GetErrorMode could not be located in the dynamic link library kernel32.dll."

Rolled back to version 5.1.0.55 which works flawlessly.

The Automatic update engine: .. update always fails (failed 2 days ago, failed today):

I am getting the same messages as dosibo51 posted.

Also
There seems to be some confusion with the version number is it 5.1.0.56 or is it 5.0.1.56

version history

feature request. ability to download subtitles/ CC so helps with hearing-impaired and foreign language films

Hello guys,

The latest version is v5.0.1.56 (Dictator) did a typo on this forum. (FIXED NOW )

Also, regarding the Engine Updates always failing, I have reported it on their Bug site:

http://bugs.vso-software.fr/view.php?id=13621

You will need to create yourself an account to see the bug site...

Hopefully this will be looked into soon and resolved !

I get the same message as dosibo51 too. It also does not automatically find files like it use to when running a VPN. To use the software now I have to copy and paste each each web site link into Downloader 5.0.1.56 for the program to work. Automatic detection does not work.

error with update

vso say below, and it worked 100% ok
"hello, this problem may occur if your security settings prevent the software to update itself (i.e. to write / rename / delete files in its own installation folder).
this can be avoided if you launch downloader as an administrator.Right click on the desktop icon, select "Run as administrator".
Try to download something. When it fail, downloader will check the update, find there is one available, ask you if you want to proceed, and if you run as admin, the process should not fail.
we are working to make it easier, but for now it's the immediate solution."

Hi. I was testing v5.0.1.57 (beta) and i found that i have no access to HTTPS sites on Chrome and Firefox when SSL is enabled in VSO Downloader. As soon as i disable it, i can access to any HTTPS site. I tried to re/install VSO Downloader CA certificate on both browsers but didn't work. Previous version (5.0.1.56) is working fine.

Tested on Windows 8.1 Pro (x64) and Windows 10 Pro 1809 (x64).

Regards.

New beta 5.0.1.60 still having the same issue than previous versions for me, internal VSOD proxy blocks all my HTTPS traffic when HTTPS detection is enabled, can't connect to any HTTPS site in Chrome & Firefox.

I give up on this, last version working fine was 5.0.1.56. I think i'll have to move to another alternative now.

My software, why is blocked, what did I do wrong?
1. I have to use VPN software, will this lead to misunderstanding between the two sides?
2. Reinstall, enter the serial number, and see only one "disable computer"
3. Ask you for help, and as a result, even the letter of help is blocked.
4. This software, I only continued to pay soon, was unknown reasons to block.

Please send me an e-mail to let me know what happened, it shouldn't be difficult.This serial number, which I alone use, has not been shared.
I paid for the software, which was blocked and didn't tell me what was going on.

I hope there is an answer.

Thank you for your answer.
This page has been used. It's been reflected many times, but it's now forbidden for me to use it. I don't know what I did wrong, I have to come here for questioning

We'll sort this out together!
