SideDownload becomes the default download method

Last update introduced the SideDownload method. We are happy to report that this new download mechanism has significantly improved the quality of the downloads. We are now making it the default download method, and simply renamed it "Download".

New "Download Audio Only" method

A new action is now available to only download the audio track of a video.

Better MPD streams support

We have significantly improved MPD downloads. This requires a Companion App upgrade, but we will only request upgrade if you attempt to download MPD content (not very common).

Smarter video stream detection

The stream detection mechanism has been improved. You can tweak its behavior in the settings:
Settings > More > Video Qualities.

New HLS streams download methods

We've introduced a new method for downloading videos streamed using the HLS protocol. This significantly improves the stability of the resulting video files, resolving many of the issues you may have encountered in the past.

Youtube support

Downloading from YouTube just got better! Enjoy more variant options and much faster download speeds.

Companion App

To make the most of these new features, an update to the companion app (version 2.0.10) is required. The update process is now more straightforward, especially for Mac and Linux users. Windows users will continue to enjoy an effortless installation experience.

The extension will guide you through the installation or update process of the companion app, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free update.

Some recent changes in YouTube cause the extension to fail downloading videos. This update fixes that issue.

When downloading a HLS live stream, the end of broadcast automatic detection can be controlled with new settings parameter HLS End Timeout.

The minimum size filter settings was not working properly.

Some HLS streams could be ignored if the manifest file size was below the configured size threshold.

On Windows, the file saveas dialog could show up button while on root of a drive.

The download progress could stop being displayed.

Updated locales: Corsican, German, Italian, French, Swedish, Ukrainian, Korean, Hungarian, Greek, Polish, Indonesian, Dutch.

Fixed YouTube bulk download

After changes on the YouTube video site, it was no longer possible to download several videos from a single operation by mouse-selecting the videos in the YouTube page and requesting a bulk-download operation. Video DownloadHelper version 7.6.0 provides a workaround for this issue.
Fixed YouTube multiple videos selection

A long standing issue: when mouse-selecting a portion of a YouTube web page in order to request a download of all the videos included in this selection, some videos could be missed in the process. This is now fixed.
Soundcloud support

Soundcloud now has special support allowing tunes to be downloaded as MP3 files.
Updated all locales

Many thanks to our contributors !

* Added aggregator tool

In some situations, on sites streaming separately video and audio, Video DownloadHelper is not able to recognize both streams as being parts of the same media and does not offer automatic aggregation. As a result, the user may end up with an audio or video-only file, depending on the chosen variant. When an audio-only and a video-only file have been downloaded, it is now possible to use the local aggregation tool to merge those two files to a single audio-video media file.

* Added Greek and Hungarian locales

* Fixed possible crash when downloading a HLS videos

* Updated all locales

Video DownloadHelper 7.3.4 now includes support for downloading Facebook videos !

When browsing a Facebook timeline or opening a Facebook video post, Video DownloadHelper offers several variants for each detected video. There should be one or two simple-streamed variants (companion app is optional) and one to many ADP options (audio and video streams are transparently downloaded and aggregated locally, this requires the use of the companion app). In general, the best quality is only available through an ADP option.

Changes from 7.3.1:

• Feature: support for downloading Facebook videos
• Feature: configurable file naming when using gallery download
• Fix: initiate download or open panel from keyboard hot key:
  • Start default action on the first hit: (Windows/Linux) ALT+DOWN, (Mac) CMD+SHIFT+DOWN
  • Open add-on main panel: (Windows/Linux) ALT+UP, (Mac) CMD+SHIFT+UP
• Fix: actions Open Media (to play the downloaded video with the local default application) and Open Directory (to open the folder containing the downloaded file) are available again, through the 1.2.4 update of the companion app
• Fix: proper smart naming name picking when mode Get name from URL is chosen

Video DownloadHelper 7.3.1 brings a number of improvements and fixes that have been requested or reported by our users.

Some of those fixes are located in the add-on itself, some had to be made in the companion application (the external application that is to be installed along with the extension in order to provide the necessary capabilities removed from Firefox Quantum v57). As a consequence, Video DownloadHelper 7.3.1 will request you to update the companion app to version 1.2.2.

We understand that updating this companion application is a bit tedious if you compare to how smoothly the add-on updates, and we try to keep this requirement as seldom as possible. But in this case, we had no other choice. We apologize in advance.

Changes from 7.3.0

Fix: gallery downloads failure through CoApp 1.2.2 requirement

Changes from 7.2.2

Fix: SaveAs dialogs closing unexpectedly when request CoApp downloads
Fix: downloads of big (>2GB) files failing with error invalid typed array length
Fix: YouTube file names are now taken in priority from the video metadata and not the page title that produces a "- Youtube" trailing
Fix: requesting a Download & Convert operation from a DASH streaming to an audio-only format caused the action to be stalled at 50%
Improvement: in order to minimize the impact of Video DownloadHelper to the user experience, whenever the extension opens a tab and the user closes it, the original tab is restored
Improvement: DASH downloads are now of much better quality with an improved management of video synchronisation frames
Improvement: videos from Tumblr now display a proper thumbnail
Fix: some running downloads did appear amongst other detected videos and not in the in the running section
Improvement: SaveAs dialogs now sorts file names in a case-insensitive way
CoApp: Converter is now based on ffmpeg 4.0
CoApp: Comodo IceDragon browser support
CoApp: include libbz2 library that is missing by default in Fedora and some other Linux distributions
CoApp: include libnuma library that is missing by default in GenToo and some other Linux distributions
CoApp: on Fedora and some other Linux distributions, the companion app manifests are now correctly installed to directory /usr/lib64

Features
-------------

YouTube bulk download: it is now possible to mouse-select a part of a YouTube page and request the download of all the videos that are linked from from the selected section. This is feature was existing in VDH6 but was limited to unsigned videos. You can also now launch a Download & Convert bulk operation, allowing for instance to retrieve a large number of MP3 files in a few clicks. Try it: from a YouTube page, try CTRL-A to select all the page, then click the Video DownloadHelper toolbar button.

Smartnaming is back: you can now again specify for given sites where in the page to get the video file name from, or choose an obfuscated file name for discretion. Unlike VDH6, the new Smartnaming allows full XPath expressions to generate accurate video names. Try it: from a page containing a video, right-click and pick Video DownloadHelper > Smart Naming Rule

Conversion rules: it is possible again to define per-domain and/or per extension conversion rules, so that downloaded files are automatically converted in background. Try it: open Video DownloadHelper settings and choose Conversion Rules in the dropdown menu

Variant preferences editing: as with VDH6, you can now reorder the variant qualities you want to appear at the top of the list. Try it: open Video DownloadHelper settings and choose Video Qualities in the dropdown menu. Use Drag & Drop to reorder the variant preferences

VDH commands from Firefox Tools menu: this is an opt-in feature, it has to be enabled from VDH settings > Appearance

Fixes
-------

Fixed aggregating YouTube videos that could, in certain cases failed with error Invalid data
Fixed clicking through YouTube playlist could show previous video title in the download menu
Fixed handling misformed MP2T frames on some HLS streams
Updated locales

FEATURES

• Added gallery capture: as it was the case with version 6.3.3, it is now possible to capture galleries of images and links embedded into a page. By default, you need to manually analyze the page from the add-on main panel for the potential galleries to be discovered, or you can change the setup to perform the analyze automatically whenever a page is loaded.
• Added right-click download commands: right-clicking into a page gives access to a Video DownloadHelper menu. From there you can request the download of a video playing in the page, or perform some top-level commands like opening the extensions settings or requesting the analyze of the page.
• Added hotkeys: you can now start the default action on the top-most detected video variant in the page by pressing ALT+SHIFT+D. Also keys ALT+SHIFT+Y opens the add-on main panel.
• Blacklist edition: it is now possible to edit the blacklist from the settings, in order to remove an entry that has been erroneously added, or add new ones manually. (Blacklisting allows to ignore some video detections like ads based on their origin domain)
• Settings reset: from the add-on settings, you can now reset changed values to the original settings.
• Display ETA in downloads: when displaying the running downloads section, you can now see the progress percentage and how long it takes to complete.
• Download directory setup user interface: for companion app downloads, you now have a user interface to select the download directory.

FIXES

• Navigating YouTube pages: following a video link within a YouTube page caused the newly detected title and thumbnail to be mis-reported as the previous hit (Thanks Coco for reporting this).
• YouTube videos containing double quote character: the title was then wrongly reported
• Multi-line details values: when using the Details action, property value was displayed on a single line
• Fixed download of encrypted HLS streams using key relative URLs (a zero-day bug)
• No error reported on user download cancellation
