Does Pontes Media downloader still work

Joe Orozco
 

Forgive me, would someone please kindly post a link to this software?
Is it intuitive to use?

Pontes automatically places the link from the address bar into its edit
field.

There may be implications for other situations.  Usually, the link
that appears in Pontes comes from the clipboard because the user
copied it there from the browser's address bar.  If that is what you
did and the link was defective, that means that it may be that the
very common practice of people sending people links to articles by
copying links from the address bar and pasting them into a message may
not work with Edge.  If they don't, that is important to know and is a
serious flaw.

Hello Gene.  I have version 3.1.2-200501. I did reinstall PMD, but my

were related to obtaining my download links in Microsoft Edge.  I
switched over to Firefox and tried again, and presto, everything
worked like a charm. That's a good thing, because I find Firefox more
preferable.

It shouldn't matter, but which version are you running?

Its still working, I used it within the last day or two.  I have
never seen the download button not be available, whether it worked or
not.  If it didn't work, because an update was needed to get around a
change on the Youtube site, the button still was there, downloads
just weren't successful.
That implies a reinstallation may be in order.  the program itself
may be corrupted.

Good evening everyone.  I haven’t used Pontes in a couple months or
so, but
I tried tonight to pull down a Youtube tutorial about the Book Port Plus
with Pontes, and it will not show me the download button.  Does it still
work, or has Youtube done something to render it useless? Thanks in
advance.

Hi Stevben,

I used Pontes just last night to download and convert a bunch of current songs.

Based on what was said on another group, it should.   I suggest you take a look at the topic from August on the Windows 10 for Screen Reader Users Group entitled, Pontes Media Downloader.
