LR not working for me on Mac 10.11

Hi. I’ve just installed Language Reactor in an old Mac OS I have and it’s not working at all for me, unfortunately. Nothing appears on Netflix, no on and off toggle switch. These are my specs:

Mac OS 10.11.6
Google Chrome 97.0.4692.99

I’ve tried to install it in another computer with a newer OS and it works fine, but I’d like it to work in my old laptop too. Any suggestion of what I could try? I also tried the old version of LLN v4 and same result.

Thanks!

Hey Miguel,
Please try the next steps:

  • Please make sure you have the correct, new extension installed: Language Reactor - Chrome Web Store
  • Please make sure you don’t have a domain blocker (e.g. if on a corporate network)
  • Please make sure all necessary permissions are granted:
    Open Chrome menu > More tools > Extensions > Language Reactor > Details
    Scroll down to ‘Permissions’ and make sure all switches are on.

Let me know if the problem still occurs.

I was banging my head and trying to figure why Learning Language with Youtube extension doesn’t work. I stumbled upon this post and learn that it has been merged into the Language Reactor extension. Could you update the chrome extension to redirect folks to the new plugins. Thanks!

After getting a lot of help from the LR Support, we’ve found a solution. Posting here in case it helps anyone in the future. Mac El Capitan has been having lots of expired certificate issues on Google Chrome for the last few months. After fixing this issue, Language Reactor worked perfectly. I fixed it using this help (not the main advice but one in a comment):

HOW TO DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, AND SET THE NEW SECURITY CERTIFICATE FOR GOOGLE CHROME & SAFARI ON EL CAPITAN

This worked 100% on my 2008 Mac Pro Tower running El Capitan (extremely fast and reliable for its age, but cannot install Sierra on it).

INSTRUCTIONS

Go to Chain of Trust - Let's Encrypt

Root Certificates

Active

ISRG

Root X1

Find the newest of this file link (first on the page)…

“Signed by ISRG Root X1: der, pem, txt”

Click on pem to download the correct one.

(I have my browser set to always download to the Desktop so I can quickly find the stuff I just downloaded, and I put it where it goes later).

Open Keychain Utility in the Applications > Utilities folder

Enter your password every time asked.

Click System (upper left).

Drag the new Security Certificate from the Desktop into the Security page in the open Keychain Window.

Double click on the new Security Certificate.

Click the little arrow next to “Trust” at the top to expand it.

Choose “Always Trust” in the menu next to “When using this certificate:”

You can choose “Always Trust” because it literally just came from the website of the company that creates the Trusted Certificates.
