Download and Convert - undefined exeption

[szatan667]

Your question

Using legacy UI to download and convert. I have created my own convertion format.
When I click "download and convert", the video gets downloaded, but then the conversion fails with "cannot read properties of undefined" exception, possibly caused by conversion format couldn't be found? Same happens with pre-defined formats.
"Download and convert" used to work fine before modern-UI was introduced.

Extension version: 9.1.1.0
Coapp versio: 2.0.19

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'params')
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'params')

I do not work for VDH. I'm just another user.

You are entirely correct. Download and Convert was a function in VDH versions 8 & earlier. It was left out of VDH 9. I believe this was done on purpose. Seems to me there's a discussion of this topic in here somewhere if you want to look for it. So you'll have to do your downloads with VDH but find some other tool to do the conversion. You can probably do whatever you'd like with ffmpeg. I'm sure there's other tools with greater user-friendliness than ffmpeg that can perform conversions. But you're on your own when it comes to conversions.

Thanks for clarifying. I was using it in "custom" mode where I could provide my own ffmpeg parms and I have to say it was pretty convenient. But yeah, I guess I will manage converting by hand then.
