@xiota: Thank you very much - the first block of three commands did the trick.

I did not even have to restart the browser: after a few seconds the browser extension recognized the Companion App and now everything works again.

Thx again! 👍

@jamesbond007 Try running the following:

vdhcoapp uninstall --user
sudo vdhcoapp uninstall --system
sudo vdhcoapp install --system

If that doesn't work, try:

sudo vdhcoapp uninstall --system
vdhcoapp uninstall --user
vdhcoapp install --user

If that doesn't work... would take me some time to investigate further.

@xiota: I am using Firefox 135.0.1 (64-bit) on archlinux. I installed it with the following command:

pacman -S firefox

@jamesbond007 What browser are you using, and how is it installed? This package is working as expected with Firefox. I have not tested Chrome, Chromium, or Edge, but they should also work.

The /usr issue described upstream is a problem with snap/flatpak. Those are outside the scope of this package.

Installation with yay works without a problem. But the browser extension keeps saying "Companion App not installed".

When I click on the "help?" link, I read the following (a potential reason for the Companion App not being recognized): "do not install vdhcoapp within the /usr/ directory, it won't be detected by your browser."

@cmach_socket I am unable to replicate your issue. Try again after clearing cache. If that does not help, try building in a clean chroot.

I got the error when I was installing vdhcoapp 2.0.20-1 :

It seems the package "built-v18.5.0-linux-x64" got lost

@mb720 Thanks for letting me know. Main change I made was to disable debug.

Now running vdhcoapp 2.0.19-2, the error Pkg: Error reading from file. does not occur anymore and downloading videos works again. Thanks!
