hi, i know you have market this thread as duplicate and #16137 is kind of closed and now the solution going to be a closed circle solution, but what about the rest of us that really need this script ?

its been off for over 2 weeks and i need to have it fixed, I`m happy to even pay for whoever that can give me good and stable solution for openload , so please dont just close this threads and somehow share the solution please

[ozcs]

just would like to add that its not happening everywhere, its happening on some servers but not on others

[ozcs]

just an update, that I have finally fixed the issue on my server,
what worked for me was removing the whole phantomJS, npm, nvm, node, nodejs, and anything like that redo the whole thing one by one,

even though my PhantomJs was reading version 2.1.1 (same as my other working server), it wasnt giving the right output to openload.py so I hope others can solve that issue too, i couldnt format my server, otherwise it would of be done much quicker
