4K Video downloader stopped working
After trying to upgrade 4k Video downloader+ Version 25.2 to something newer than that, an error pops up, that in English can be translated as:
" Cannot find procedure GetDpiForSystem "
I hoped it would be fixed, but it's not.
I was a long time happy user of the original 4K Video Downloader (without plus +).
The plus version supposedly added support for more sites than the original, but I used it only for YouTube and never needed the plus.
I used the original 4K Video Downloader for as long as it worked, because:
- plus version looks ugly compared to without plus
- plus version dropped support for downloading .MKV (VP9 better quality than .MP4 H264) with lower resolutions, that worked very nice with original 4K Video Downloader non plus
- plus takes about 2x more disk space (that's minor, but I can add it as a minus as well)
- other plus issues that I cannot recall at the moment (I think there were some problems with subtitles using plus version)
So overall worse YouTube downloading functionality than original 4K Downloader even if stated as a better replacement.
But I used it anyway, because a degraded 4K Video Downloader+ is better than nothing at all...
until it stopped working and cannot upgrade because of system error.
Is there any other application that I could use to download from YouTube?
(I don't care about other sites that much, but I need the ability to download from YouTube).
Best Regards
