Just installed the update, but when I try to download youtube videos the icon "download this video" doesn't show up, but, when I'm going to disable IDM from chrome's extension settings it shows up at the lower left corner of my screen.

nevermind. so stupid of me. just figured it out. if you enabled click-to-play function in chrome you have to go to about:plugins page and check always allowed for IDM plugin. solved! :frusty:

Dude, in case someone has the same problem in the future, or wanna enable click to play, can you post a more detailed instruction set? Remember how frustrated you were? Someone might be in that same state of mind and need a more detailed tutorial.

this is what i did. i always enable click to play so that plugins will not run automatically on every pages i visited. just go to chrome settings and click on 'show advanced settings' and click on 'Content Settings' under Privacy, you will see this

just choose click to play there and click OK.

i re-installed IDM and found out that there is no icon to download flash videos on top of the flash player.

just type chrome://plugins and hit enter. look for Internet Download Manager Plugin and put a check right before 'Always Allowed' as you can see in my screenshot.

that's it! just restart Chrome or refresh the webpage to see if the IDM icon is showing up.
