I have been dealing one on one with y'all about this YouTube issue since November 2025 - you stated in our last correspondence on 28 Dec that your engineers were working on a fix because "they have figured out the issue" - well I'm still having the same issues but more now bc now videos are saying, unable to download or if it does download it's the wrong video but correct title of the one I downloaded. What is going on guys, at least put out a mass email or website post so we know what's up. Thanks and God bless

  It did worked Jan 27, 2026 - downloaded 4 videos from Youtube - each 4 videos was 45 minutes long.  Then today, I opened Google Chrome - saw small note - "Chrome Updated".  Then suddenly Realplayer Downloader stopped working.  Damn you, Google!

  I ran into the same issue around that time. It’s interesting that everything was working fine, then suddenly stopped right after a Chrome update — that really suggests the problem is more about compatibility changes than anything on the user side.

  From what I’ve seen, RealNetworks mentioned they already fixed this and recommended updating the downloader to the latest version, but not everyone seems to receive that update properly. agario

  In my case, even after updating, YouTube downloads can still be inconsistent. It feels like this issue keeps coming back whenever either Chrome or YouTube changes something.

  Is anyone else still seeing random failures even after updating, or did a clean reinstall actually fix it for you?
