🔧 Troubleshooting Common Issues

common
CORS Error
Solution: Install a CORS browser extension like "CORS Unblock" or "Allow CORS: Access-Control-Allow-Origin". This is a browser security limitation, not a GOVOD issue.
normal
Slow Download Speed
Solution: Download speed depends on your internet connection and video size. Try selecting a lower quality or using Chunks mode for large files. Processing happens in your browser for privacy.
common
Video Not Found
Solution: Make sure the URL is correct and the video is publicly accessible. For Twitch subscriber-only content, you must have access. Private videos cannot be downloaded.
rare
Browser Memory Error
Solution: For very large videos (>4GB), use Chunks mode to split into smaller segments. Close other tabs to free up browser memory. Consider using a desktop browser instead of mobile.
normal
Daily Download Limit Reached
Solution: Free users have a 3 downloads per day limit. Upgrade to Premium for unlimited downloads, or wait until midnight UTC for your limit to reset.

🎯 Pro Tips

Chunks vs Single Mode:

Use Chunks for VODs over 2 hours to avoid browser memory issues. Single mode (Premium) downloads the entire file at once.

Best Quality Settings:

Source quality = original upload quality. 1080p = forced 1080p. For most VODs, Source is the best option.

Audio Extraction:

Select "Audio" quality to extract just the audio track as MP3. Perfect for podcasts or music!

Download History:

Sign up for a free account to track your downloads and re-download videos easily.

Browser Compatibility:

Chrome, Edge, and Firefox work best. Safari may have CORS issues - use a CORS extension if needed.

Mobile Downloads:

While mobile works, desktop browsers handle large files better due to memory constraints.
