Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 15173170, 6 years agoOk, it's fixed now so it works with Youtube's current setup. Great plugin so I'm giving it 5 stars.
One thing that would be nice though, is if it correctly saved file names with the actual symbols in them. For example, it always turns parenthesis into dashes, so "(" and ")" always become "-". I think it also has done this with single-quote marks like the " ' " mark last time I tried it with a video that had a single-quote mark in its name. That really shouldn't happen with any of those symbols, as those are not invalid symbols in file names. So no need to replace them. In fact, the only symbols that AREN'T allowed in file names are the following:
"
%
/
\
|
:
?
*
<
>
And also, when correcting the name for a video who's title contains the double-quote marks like ", that should be corrected to the single-quote marks like ', not changed to a dash, for the filename.
So your plugin is still buggy as far as I'm concerned (and it will be, until all valid filename symbols are actually used by the plugin when saving files that contain those symbols in the video's title), so if I could, I'd give it only 4.5 out of 5 instead of a full 5 stars. But I can't select 4.5 stars, so I'm rounding up to 5 stars.
Overall great plugin, but still buggy because it turns many actually valid filename symbols into dashes, as if it thinks they aren't valid filename symbols.
Just realized something else. It doesn't copy all files to the selected download folder, only files that had to be combined. When files even don't need to be combined, they should still be copied to the selected download folder, as that's where I expect to find them. It used to do that. Your latest update seems to have broken that. So I've downgraded the rating of this plugin to only 4 stars. Fix that, either of these problems I've mentioned and your plugin will get 4.5 stars. Fix them both for a full 5 stars.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13226556, 16 days agoit used to work but not any more so sad to see this go
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 5836511, a month agoHas been a really great addon for a long time until it stopped working for me three years ago.
So I did let it live in my firefox out of hope that someday there may be an update which would get it working again.
But I think after three years of waiting in vain, it's safe to pronounce this add-on dead, uninstall it and look for alternatives.
So long, and thanks for all the videos, but I guess it's time to move on. - Rated 1 out of 5by malau, a month agoI was shocked to see that this was still installed. No buttons have shown up for years. It's a totally broken mess that i'm, about to remove.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Booff, 2 months agoThis was the best youtube downloader available but it no longer works and it appears the developer has given up as no updates for 3 years.

- Rated 1 out of 5by pwn20, 3 months agoUsed to be a fantastic add-on but now it doesn't work anymore as it's been abandoned for three years. Should be removed from the add-on store.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17370110, 3 months agoThis used to be great. I would use it to download the audio from YouTube podcasts, but it stopped working. I found this newer version, installed everything (ffmpeg etc) and it STILL DOESN'T WORK!! I'm so sad and disappointed. I really wish they'd get this working for YouTube again.
