2024-04-28 Johs I completly supprt this addon. it i a time saver ween you have a website that dose not support yt-dlp (formerly known a youtube-dl). It conecnts the stream files thogeter. Also it is useful to refresh the page to get all of the strings, than it is easyer to find the string you want.

2024-01-19 Firefox user 18247428 This does not download things. However: if you have ffmpeg on your computer already, you can have this detect an embedded video in a web page and it can generate the ffmpeg command you need to download the video. Granted, so far I've only tried it one time. But it worked!

2023-07-02 dw5 Very nice addon, although it be nice if MPV or VLC (or both) were included by default (instead of user custom command), also maybe in settings a filter list of some sort so video title (based on page title) you can add "[space]- Websitenamehere" and on new line something else...
