How do I fix FDM not downloading?

The error you will most likely to face when you try to open fdm on terminal through /opt/freedownloadmanager/fdm is:

error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

In this case, the missing libcrypto.so.1.1 is part of libssl1.1, which needs to be installed in order to fix the issue which you have to manually install from packages.debian.com. Pick the architecture you want and download it. After that you should install it using (remember to put ur own file name in the command):

sudo dpkg -i [downloaded file's name].deb

Thanks a lot to @JakobWeimar with his answer

Greetings,

Follow these steps:

Integrating Free Download Manager with Google Chrome:

1-After installing Free Download Manager (FDM) close any browsers opened, open FDM press Ctrl+o or from Options menu in FDM click Settings.

2-On the left side in settings below Downloads select Monitoring on the right pane select or check Google Chrome and click OK to save changes.

Integrating Free Download Manager with Firefox

FDM will pick up downloads from Firefox browser automatically if Firefox was installed after FDM provided "Firefox" has been selected or enabled under Monitoring in FDM settings.

But it is not possible because all users are supposed to using Firefox and other browsers since they installed operating system.So if you installed FDM after Firefox then you need right click on the download link and select "Copy Link Location" and make sure "Clipboard" is selected under Monitoring along with "Firefox" option.Or right click on the link and Download with Free Download Manager in Firefox.

Once you follow above procedure FDM will automatically links copied to clipboard or file will be downloaded with choosing Download with FDM.

Good Luck.

Regards

Free Download Manager (FDM) claims to be able to download flash videos from various sites including Youtube.

I follow the directions given here to download Youtube videos. The only thing FDM downloads is the html file with the name watch.

How can I make FDM to download Youtube videos?

Youtube sometimes changes its protocols, which can make video-download tools stop working until they are updated. FDM might just be in such a state. If this is the case, you can either wait until it is updated, or try another free tool, such as DownloadHelper, which seems to be working fine now.

How do I fix FDM not downloading?

Use http://www.keepvid.com

Much easier than installing software on your computer and allows you to select which format you would like to download in.

I understand this does not help you with your program, but it is an easier solution than what you are trying to achieve.

Add the video link from Youtube to Keepvid, and find a suitable format and file size of your choice. Right-click on the link of that particular file download link. There you will find an option to download using FDM. Click, and you have your Youtube video downloaded.

I too, tried just pasting the link to FDM directly but failed, and then found this solution.

You could try my one: http://www.justpip.com/videodownloader/

It supports downloads from 3 popular video download sites and I regularly update it. Basically YouTube often change the layout of the page and this breaks programs and websites which are looking for particular sections from which the download links can be made.

For downloading video, you must open Mozilla browser and in a state connected directly to YouTube site, then open video you want to download. Open FDM and paste the URL link to Create flash video download dialog box

Simple solution that doesn't require installing additional software (malware):

Copy video URL from Youtube. Paste it in www.en.savefrom.net
In the right side of the screen you will see the download links (one for each resolution available).
Click the link to download the movie OR use FDM to fast download the movie.

Don't use a download manager - play the video online, then after it has finished go to your browser's cache folder. Find the file (usually about 20 to 40MB in size) and move it to your desired location. Open a Command Prompt and follow the steps below:

  1. Type ren sourcefilename newfilename.avi where sourcefilename is the name of the file copied from the cache, and newfilename is the desired name for the video.
  2. Close the Command Prompt.
  3. Play the video easily.
