Video DownloadHelper
Hi, I can't get the addon working. If I visit page with video it properly identifies all formats and offers them to download, but if I select to d/l one of them, nothing happens. Having version 7.1.0 which is more than year not updated. Don't know if that's issue but FF offers me no updates.

Re: Video DownloadHelper
The current version is 7.3.5. The version 7.1.0 is really old.

Re: Video DownloadHelper
7.1.0 works in FF 54?
Or what browser are you using?

Re: Video DownloadHelper
I have FF 54 and no newer VDLH version is accepted. Tried in Chrome latest version which already works, but not licensed allows only one download per 2 hours, which is considerable restriction. So DlHelper is no way to go.
Can I get a recommendation about generic free addon that would be able to grab video virtually from any page?
DlHelper seem the only addon working generic, others specialise mainly to YT, FB and few others.

Re: Video DownloadHelper
I'll bite, but just how do you do it?I'm using the following bookmarklet for yt videos.
What I tried...
copied the code, prefixed it with, javascript: (& "made" a bookmarklet out of it).
visited https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w36z7XnwOM & clicked the bookmarklet
But... nothing?

Re: Video DownloadHelper
(With the exception of Youtube) FlashGot still works fine.
Maybe try VDH 6.3.3 (or 6.3.1) & see if that actually downloads?
(And yes, 6.3.3 is even older then 7.1, but at least at that point it was fully Legacy.)

Oops. I tried the bookmarklet in Firefox. It seems to only work in Chrome now.

Re: Video DownloadHelper
Downloading YT videos has become a chore for me since around the 1st of this year.
Now I use a free program named "1-Click YouTube Video Downloader" and find that one works nicely for me. The only problem is it doesn't download 1080 videos (but I think that's a problem with YT).

Re: Video DownloadHelper
Thats no yt problem, limitation is based on license. No license = free > 720hd only.
Same for any yt download extension.

Re: Video DownloadHelper
Oh, I had forgotten that little fact... but 720hd is good enough for me anyways.

Re: Video DownloadHelper
Here's an absolute insider tip:
Try VDHL on a Linux, for example Linux Mint.
There's no license required within this OS.
