[meta] "No valid links have been inserted" error with megadownloader | Megalinks MegaDB [meta] "No valid links have been inserted" error with megadownloader

I'm seeing this from time to time now that I've begun using megadownloader. Recently w/ the Samurai Jack series just posted. I can load the link in chrome just fine but even pasting it directly into add links of megadownloader I get this error. Any suggestions? Thanks.

No valid links = URL formatting is wrong

Using the mega.nz domain requires the # symbol to be present in the link (eg: mega.nz/#F!blahblah)

Using mega: will parse the link whether it's present or not (eg: mega:F!blahblah or mega:#!Fblahblah)

Ah, that makes sense. I'll make sure my links use the hashtag in the future. Thank you!

I just tried the Samurai Jack series using megadownloader and it worked, just add 'mega:' to the front of the link.

This I know. I usually load it in browser first to see all is good and when you copy the full url, it auto loads into megadownloader. When it doesn't work, I will add it manually w/in the program w/ "add links" option. It's downloading fine right now from the browser but I'm trying to use megadownloader more.

I used to be able to just add mega.nz/whatever, now I can't, it only allows mega:/// then code.
