Really interesting and useful.

But I've noticed some cooking and everyday small life US-American units aren't supported:

For example, teaspoons, tablespoons, cups... and fractions: 1/8 inch, 1/16 tablespoon

It'd be nice to have those.

That’s a good point. For everyone with an issue, do you have custom download_dir or watchlist_download_dir values (Workfow Environment Variables)? What are they? If you delete them, does the issue go away? Paths should be absolute or use ~ to represent the home directory (e.g. ~/Downloads). It may be worth to delete and redownload the Workflow but tell Alfred to not import the previous settings.

After this post, who still has an issue?

I think my problem is the same.

I have deleted and imported the workflow several times already choosing not to import previous settings. I have also checked that the paths are ~/Downloads. But I still cannot manage to get it to work.

I think I follow the instructions correctly. 

1. I open a youtube video. 

2. Copy the URL to my clipboard. (for example: https://youtu.be/tRcPA7Fzebw but I've tried many other links from YouTube and other websites supported by youtube-dl)

3. Type “dv” into Alfred.

4. Press enter / or click on the suggested search result (which is Downvid's “Download video / Downloads the video to ~/Downloads)

But I don't get a notification. I have also tried “dvp”  but it says that there are no downloads in process.

I haven't tried to install youtube-dl or anything else as it is my understanding the workflow takes care of everything it needs itself.

I also ran the commands you suggested on Terminal:

ELV:~ elv$ which sed
/usr/bin/sed
ELV:~ elv$ which awk
/usr/bin/awk
ELV:~ elv$ which youtube-dl
ELV:~ elv$ 

I am running on a fresh install of Mojave (10.14.6). I don't think I've done anything to alter the system significantly

Alfred version is 4.0.1

Any idea what's wrong?

Nevermind.

My firewall was blocking internet access to cURL.

The workflow is working now.
