by schmibble, 5 years agoExtension is working for me but installation is clunky and instructions for downloading are so minimal that it took me a couple of hours of experimentation to figure out that it won't merge separate video and audio together even though some of the "documentation" implies that it can. To get a working video with audio, you must download the very first file on offer.
If you want just video without audio, that's clunky too. I try to download the vid links and instead of just one file to save it pops up two. Both have same filename, so if you choose to save the 2nd as well as the first, you obviously overwrite the 2nd (this extension will start saving both, but as soon as the smaller file is done downloading, it fails and simultaneously cancels the other download, so you get nothing). If you cancel the second, a bunch more files pop up. If you keep cancelling these subsequent files until there aren't any more, you'll get just the audio file, no video. If you want the video, you're hosed. If choose to cancel the first file and save the second (and cancel any subsequent files that pop up after the second one), finally you get video only, no audio. But getting to that point is very confusing. What's with all the extra files popping up one after the other, each in their own download dialog?
Getting an audio-only file is, thankfully, just the way it should be. Click on the mp4 audio-only file (if available) and it just gives you a single file to download, exactly the way it should. (I haven't tried webm-opus, so can't speak to that option).

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 5836511, 8 days 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, 12 days 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, a month 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, 2 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, 2 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.
