On vimeo, it gives a list of video resolutions to record, but clicking on them does nothing.

On YouTube, it doesn't even detect a video.

I know it's hard to keep up with them keeping up with you, and I don't expect a free downloader to always work. I'm just reporting that this one currently doesn't.

The only relevant platform for this extension: YouTube isnt working anymore. I paid for it! I am pretty mad

This used to be a great app. They ruined it and now they want to charge for it?! Go f*@k yourselves!

If it worked before it sure as hell does nothing now.

i PAID MONEY ,NOT WORKING IT ONLY WORKS WITH E MAIL

Can't download from YT, no video detected.

Absolut wertlos. Seit Jahren genutzt, aber seit einigen Tagen funktioniert nichts mehr. Findet keine Medien und das Icon bleibt farblos.
Ignoranz gegenüber all den negativen Kommentaren in der letzten Zeit?!

(01/21/2025) Addon „Video DownloadHelper“ works a long time properly. Since 3 days it is telling „there is no media detected to work on“ each time I try and even the Youtube video is running fine. Windows (11 23H2), Firefox 134.0.2 (64-Bit) and Video DownloadHelper addon (9.1.2.0). Seems like I’m not the only one having this issue. I’m waiting for a fix.

Since two days the app is greyed out and doesn't work anymore.

You can get the extension to work on youtube again by downloading the BETA version from here:

downloadhelper.net/w/Beta-versions

I only left 1-star so that other users can see it, I will edit the review later once the issue is fixed.

This is to help everyone while they hopefully can get a fix out the for YouTube videos. The extension still works if you play the file through Media Mister. Go there and when you copy the YT link into there and hit download on your quality choice it will play a version of the file in a new window and the toolbar will pick it up for download....I know its a pain but its something for those of you who need it like I do

this addon sucks, the normal version doesnt work on half of the sites and the beta version does, but when you download something the resulting video has a quarter of it covered with a horrendous qr leading to his page

Do NOT buy this. I paid money for it and it was perfect for downloading YouTube videos. It suddenly stopped working. it finds nothing, NOTHING to download.
Completely stopped working without any explanation.

Work somewhat well on youtube until a few weeks ago, it started downloading most of my videos in German and I know for sure the people in the video spoke only english, now since Jan 19th 2025 the downloader button is greyed out, won't pick up any videos. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, reset settings nothing helped. In the U.S.A

1/22/2025. Not working at all with YouTube. Some on the forum claim a beta version works. Is that available anywhere?

UNTIL TODAY IT WAS GOOD, IT IS DOESNT WORKING ON YOUTUBE!! I NEED IT WORKING ON IT URGENTLY! PLEASE FIX IT T___T I am in Firefox

it stopped detecting any and all videos on Youtube.
Prior to that, it was very good.
It does detect non-Youtube videos.

No longer works with youtube.
Submitted complaint to firefox for lying about compatibility.

Bonjour EXCELLENT... mais depuis hier ne fonctionne plus... notamment sur youtube....

Et maintenant, le module vient de se mettre à jour et depuis il me remet un QR code sur les vidéos et me demande d'acheter une licence de conversion que j'ai déjà achetée et qui manifestement n'est plus prise en compte depuis la mise à jour !!! C'est du vol, non ?

ダウンロードできません。

its not working any more...

Worked one time but doesn't work anymore. I am really deceived.
