SlimJet never shows the download dlg on some youtube videos

[Falmir Camion]

Hello,

On some youtube videos (ex : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weiAd2TfEOA) , Slimjet keeps telling me that it needs to use a different process to download and that I need to play it for at least 5 seconds, but whatever I do, I never see the download dialog. (always the same message)...

some videos have protections that defeat the downloaders

try some of the online video converters; see what they can do with it

Yes, I expect that. But why telling to try again instead of telling it's a video it can't download ?
I have never seen a case where this message is replaced by a download window if I follow the procedure they describe.
That's why I believe it's a bug.

By the way, which online converters are you talking about ? Is there a list somewhere ?

these sites come and go; some change from free to paid over time

use google
