Hello,
Could you send me FDM's logs? For this, please do the following steps:
1. Quit from FDM.
2. Go %LOCALAPPDATA%\Softdeluxe\Free Manager folder and remove logs directory there.
3. Launch FDM and reproduce this "unknown error".
4. Quit from FDM again.
5. Archive that logs directory and the archive on some file sharing site.
6. Send me the link to it (you can do this via private message to me).
Alex,

It seems it's Elephant issue, not FDM's one.
Log contains the following errors:
[Plugin elephant]: Python result: ERROR: [youtube] r57J0jPyZRs: Requested format is not available. Use --list-formats for a list of available formats
[Plugin elephant]: Python result: ERROR: [youtube] r57J0jPyZRs: Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot. Use --cookies-from-browser or --cookies for the authentication.

Just a quick update: I installed a new VPN, and now all my traffic goes through it. Finally, FDM is intercepting s from YouTube like it used to! Looks like my ISP was blocking some functions, which was the issue.

Is it possible to install elephant add-on from a command line? (to deploy it remotely through GPO)
Re: Elephant add-on: based on youtube-dl fork 5o2232
FDM/Elephant error "server has returned a web page" when trying to DL from Youtube. Just started today.
Anyone else?

The same thing happens to me. I've re-installed FDM and ed the latest version of Python - it didn't help.
(I've ed Python separately as when elephant offered to install it, there was an error).

Same here. I DLed Elephant and installed from file in FDM and didn't get the error. But it did not help with Youtube.
I tried Youtube er HD and it no longer worked and had an error about the resolution. They had an update and it worked again.
I have workarounds but they are a pain compared to FDM/Elephant. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Hi @meowcateatrat !
How do you handle selecting different audio streams in the plugin?

Getting "server has returned a webpage" from Youtube.
