Hmm.. I did not understand what exactly went wrong on your side.
1. Uninstall 1.0.15.
2. Download 1.0.16 from github releases and install it.
3. Try to download YouTube video. Now you should be able to see WEBM in the list of formats. And don't forget to update FDM to the latest 6.24 version first.

I removed 1.0.15 and installed 1.06(that I had saved) then updated and it worked. Thanks so much.

The 1.0.16 that I downloaded still said "unknown error"

What do you mean "unknown error"? On which stage does it happen? Works fine for me. Give me details. I can't tell you if it's bug of FDM/Elephant/yours xD

It happens when trying to install add-on from file from the Elephant menu. If no one else has had a problem it's probably on my end.

You can't install a new version of the add-on until you remove an old one. This is how FDM works. The only exclusion is when it's updating add-on on its own.

I updated FDM and it fixed it.

Has the option to DL as WEBM gone away? I'm only able to DL as MP4 after updating.



I'm running the latest FDM and Elephant and .WEBM was showing as a DL option then poof now it's gone again. I think youtube changed something. Not a major biggie but sometimes WEBM can be much smaller to DL and I have slow internet.
