Yay, prompted to rate after 100 downloads... 100 downloads of Chinese I don't understand with no subs...

Required update: Add option to include the subs attached to said files...

Additional updates: Option to download a full site so you don't have to do them individually. Option to include Preview and outro markers. Option to exclude said preview and outro sections..

App has been extremely unreliable for the past few years on many websites. Looooong periods where it simply won't work or throws errors, then an update comes out and it'll work for a few weeks or maybe months, then the process repeats.

Sadly this seems to happen with all of the video download tools out there so this may as much due to malicious coding efforts of the video hosters than the design of this addon, but the user experience is frustrating enough to warrant a low star rating.

On old machine slow down sites like youtube, be careful. Only firefox version is "free"

Viele Videos die bis vor kurzem vom Downlaodhelper angezeigt wurden werden aktuell nicht mehr angezeigt als möglicher Download.
Deshalb meine Bewertung von 5 auf 2 herunter gebracht.
Das betrifft vorallem Youtube-Videos !!

dopo il download non appare simbolo nella barra degli strumenti e non è, quindi,utilizzabile

This is not working on YT and some specific streaming webs.

Giant QR code watermark makes any video basically unusable, I understand needing to be able to monetize a product, but at the cost of a solid 5 seconds I can just use another application- maybe adding a daily limit would be a somewhat reasonable compromise.

It is easy to use, but downloading from YouTube is slow. It should allow to select different levels of resolution. Lower resolution downloads should be free and without QR code.

"This operation requires an external application to be completed." - Yeah, no. Absolutely not. If your add-on makes my virus-scam-spider senses tingling, that's a uninstall.

Funktioniert grundsätzlich, aber die Update Meldung nervte schon immer und so langsam sollten die Macher mal erwachsen werden!
zu den unmöglichsten Gelegenheiten geht die Erweiterung mit dem Seitenaufruf auf den Sack!

Ein Armutszeugnis!!!

This used to be an incredible 5 star extension. Sadly over the years it has become increasingly dated and a poor performer. There is an odd, possibly caching issue, where if you close a tab Firefox freezes while Video DownloadHelper does something.

For months, I've been trying to get this to work. Even got the pro version. Used to work fine. If I attach the icon to a tab, It says 'generating link.' Link never appears. What's up?

This used to be a great tool for long time for me but then the developer decided to watermark downloaded videos with an annoying QR code which cover a quarter of the screen at the left bottom of the video.

No idea why it was necessary to do so. You could have easily invented a pro plan which would allow users to download videos of more length or higher quality, but you decided to watermark even the tiniest downloads.

Since then this tool become unable to be used for me sadly. I was lucky enough to find an alternative (which however does not work as smooth as VDH used to be), but at least does not force me to go through a decent paywall.

Yes, you can not spent your work for free and you have costs with this, I understand this, but there are other options generate money with your app or at least made the watermark a bit less big and maybe transparent.

You don't have to say "Okay, I'm going to force users to pay for it".

And as a sidenote, 18,50€ is way too much (even for a lifetime license). I would have spent 6/7€ for it, but not 18,50€. That sum even exceeds some AAA games revenue on Steam! Too greedy sadly.

Again, this used to be an excellent tool for a long time for me. It still detects HLS streams where other extensions simply fail to detect anything at all. Only could recommend it and gave it 5 stars, but with this policy change now, I cannot longer use nor recommend this extension.

I gave 2 stars because of functionality it provided for me once. But I would like to give 0 stars for the recent change to set an annoying QR code watermark.

great downloads from youtube until last week. it stopped working. please fix it!

need an update

no longer working firefox 134.0.2 (aarch64)
