This is the error I get trying to download audio only. It stopped working a couple of days ago so I'm not sure it could be related to Fox's updates, more likely it is Youtube introducing blocks to the utility.

I do not work for VDH. I am just another user. Also, please read #2214.

This is a well-known issue that was corrected in the latest general availability version 9.5.0.2 of VDH for Firefox. At the moment, the general availability version of VDH for Firefox is newer than the beta version. This is not always the case. At some point, the beta version will be newer. But at the moment, the general availability version is the newest one & that's the one you should be using today. This will no doubt change at some point but this is how things are today. I discuss how you check for updates in #2185. There is no easy way to verify dates on the versions of VDH. You just have to be keeping track of things here. You need to read discussions other than the ones you post in. At the moment, the version numbers do give an indication. The latest beta is version 9.5.0.0 while the latest general availability version is 9.5.0.2, a higher number. That's your clue. But monitoring this forum is highly recommended.
