Failed to get the Video youtube

OwenS,

we had a look into your report - your version of Parallels Toolbox uses old version of library that downloads the video. That is the reason of your issue. But it is very strange because 2.0.4 must have newest one. Let's gather more info:
1. You need to turn ON extended logging in Toolbox - in Terminal application run this command:
defaults write com.parallels.toolbox ExtendedLogging 1
2. Restart Parallels Toolbox
3. Try to check for updates: open Toolbox -->cogwheel --> Check for Updates.
4. Try to download one of the video you've experienced problems with.
4. Then generate another one Technical Report and send it.
 
Hi Sergk,
The ID for this one is: 294312707
I tried 1 from youtube that failed, and 1 from another source as examples.

As for the version, I can understand that the version that's on my machine with my outright purchase of the Parallels software and toolbox I wouldn't be due for any upgrades, however the other two people who currently use this software have purchased it only half a year ago, and the other person about the same.
Would you like the "Cleverbridge reference number"?

For me, I accept that unless I purchase an upgraded version I wouldn't be given an upgrade, however for the other two who have only had their license for a short period of time, I would suspect that they should be awarded the newer version if the old version doesn't do what it was advertised to do.

Thanks,

Owen

If you bought Parallels Toolbox (or Parallels Desktop) subscription then upgrade to newer version is free.

Anyway, even the old version of Toolbox (2.0.4) must have up-to-date version of video downloading library. And currently we're trying to understand why your version of Toolbox doesn't have it.
 
No subscription, these were outright purchases, so they're not entitled to the upgrade per-se.

Actually, i'll point out that it's not just mine that doesn't have the update, but 2 others that I know of.
Thanks for looking into this.
 
Hi, I have same problem with paralles toolbox 3.0.0. The problem is: can't download video from youtube. Report ID is 294907895. I have reinstalled this application few times with no results. Of course I did some actions that found in your forum here it is related with this problem, like:
"1. You need to turn ON extended logging in Toolbox - in Terminal application run this command:
defaults write com.parallels.toolbox ExtendedLogging 1
2. Restart Parallels Toolbox
3. Try to check for updates: open Toolbox -->cogwheel --> Check for Updates.
4. Try to download one of the video you've experienced problems with.
4. Then generate another one Technical Report and send it."
 
OwenS,
we've updated the library for downloading video. Please relaunch Parallels Toolbox and Download Video tool and try to download problem videos again. If problem persists then pleas generate and send another Technical Data report.
 
Irmantas,
from your report I see that you have a crashes of Downloading Video tool. Is it true that you're don't receive downloading errors and tool just crashes or closes without any messages?

Irmantas,

looks like you also have a problems with the binary that downloads the videos. Our new version of binary could fix the issue. So our advise for you is:
1) Make sure that extended logging is turned ON
2) Quit from Download Video
3) Restart Parallels Toolbox.
4) Check for updates or just wait 1-2 minutes
5) Launch Download Video tool and try to download video again

If problem persists then please generate and send report with technical data again.
 
Hello Sergk,
problem persist. ID 295036383
Updates can't be found:

I found one issue that maybe can be related with this problem (I'm not sure about that is only hypothetic guess).

Hi Sergk,

Sorry for the delay.

It seems that's worked for one of the video's I had issues with previously - I will test further and report back if there's any issues.

Many thanks!

Owen
 
I have same problem... downloaded free trial of video downloader and youtube does not work. On Mac. I have parallels, just my free trial of toolkit expired so downloaded free trial of video downloader. Happy to buy it if it works, but it doesn't. I updated it to latest version, still doesn't work.
 
HI Sergk,

It appears that my Video downloader is working great, however my parents one is still not working.

Theirs is a little different as they just purchased the Video Downloader as a stand-alone product, and not part of the toolbox application.
https://sharingiscaring.ddns.net:5001/sharing/wqlBiIUVf
(ignore certificate error)
In any case, it's version 1.6.0 (920).
It has the ability to update within the Video Download app from the menu, but it says there's no more downloads and it's already up-to-date.

Hope you can help.
