Kick VOD Download Not Working? Troubleshooting
Fix interrupted Kick downloads, missing replay playlists, Chrome save permissions and disk space problems without losing saved progress.
Start with the message shown by the Kick VOD downloader. A missing replay, a browser restriction and a network interruption need different fixes.
No replay playlist found
Open the exact replay on Kick first. Check that it is public and still available. A replay may not be ready yet, may have expired or may have been removed. Copy its full video link and analyze it again. The downloader cannot restore deleted videos or bypass private access.
The download pauses or slows down
Leave the tab open. Failed parts are retried rather than skipped. If the job pauses, reconnect and select Resume. Source servers can vary in speed, so a slow section does not by itself prove that your internet connection is broken. Avoid starting many simultaneous downloads on a weak connection.
The tab closed or the computer restarted
Return using the same Chrome profile. Keep the output file in its original location and do not clear site data. Recovery uses saved checkpoints, approximately every 64 MB, so the most recent unsaved work may download again. Changing browsers, deleting the output or clearing storage can make recovery unavailable.
Chrome cannot save to this location
Use desktop Chrome and choose an ordinary writable file location such as a folder inside Downloads. Do not select a system folder. If an external disk is used, keep it connected. The browser controls permission prompts; this site cannot override them.
Not enough disk space
Allow about twice the estimated final size plus 1 GB. Browser file updates may temporarily need a second copy. Choose a lower available quality or a shorter range, or select a disk with more free space. Do not delete an active download's file to free space.
The replay link is rejected
Use a public Kick video URL containing /channel/videos/video-id. Channel homepages and clip links are not supported. If too many requests were made, wait a minute before analyzing again.
Some browsers do not work
Desktop Chrome is the supported browser. Safari, Firefox and mobile browsers are not supported by this file-writing workflow. See the step-by-step download guide for quality and trimming instructions.
