3 Strikes and Your Out ...

The New 3 Strike Rule ...

One problem with the old system used to download videos is that once the video is downloaded a conversion tool not made by me was launched.
This would then convert the downloaded video. From time to time some videos would fail during the conversion and this caused some huge problems behind the scenes. The old code would just wait until the video had converted before continuing.

That's fine, but when it fails, then what?

The New 3 Strike Rule fixes this! - 3 attempts over 15 seconds and if the video still isn't there then the software stops, saving you from waiting and then nothing happening!


Obviously the plan is not to have to show this screen, although it's there just in case !


Also, I've made it clear when a video is Converting. This will make sure that you understand what's happening at all times.

Version 5.0 is Coming Soon!
