Macht was es soll. Auch auf diversen anderen Seiten neben Youtube. Allerdings ist bei manchen Websites nicht ersichtlich ob es sich bei der Datei die man herunterladen möchte um Audio oder Video Material handelt. Oft lädt man eine Datei die dann keinen Ton hat, oder eine Datei die nur Ton ist, aber keinen Videoinhalt hat. Hier sollte noch nachgebessert werden.

Still displays "Native app is not available". Tried hard to find any information in extension settings but there is nothing about it :-(

some time work sometime no

This was awesome when it was working but I think this is one of the first apps google targetted on their youtube downloader shutting down spree. We now have a broken app.

So ..it has come to this huh ...
As a user of this extension for about 10 years ...a couple of years ago (2021) when they did the update to the new interface style etc. I immediately warned people to not use it.
Its bad, breaks everything, I reverted back to the last oldest version before that very update ... and I am still using that very version (4.9.2) right now.
I find that it still works good and better then any later version ever could.

I see things havent exactly gotten better since the last time I checked in here.

I also see some people asking for the native app but can't find any. I still have it.

mediafire.com/file/3pzb6vrwhsg6ahr/AVD_4.9.2.rar/file

This rar includes the original 4.9.2 addon installation files for Firefox and the matching native app.

For those interested;

Uninstall any current version of the addon and native app.
Simply extract the .rar
Drag the fx.xpi file into firefox, and it should pop up asking to install
Install the native app if you want

But in Firefox, disable Auto updates on this extension, it just ruins it.

In case you were going to want to try .... I can not guarantee that this specific native app version works with a later browser addon version either. It might just start crying about how that's not up to date. I am not gonna go through the trouble of testing it, I just don't care enough. There are other browser addons to begin with as well.


Now if I could only get Mozilla to stop making stupid changes nobody asked for to begin with as they have done in the past few years ... we'd all be happy campers.

ITS DONT WORK ANYMORE

Elsewhere on this page, the developer has announced this extension is discontinued:

"Sorry to announce but Ant Video downloader is discontinued and will no longer be updated. Support is closed."

It requires you to install a shady desktop program for it to work. What's the point of installing a web extension then...

I give it 5 stars because I tried it against another download app with the same features but the latter did not give me a very good result. I see that in both apps, the video is downloaded in segments, but in the latter the contrast between audio and video is very noticeable. On the other hand, in this one it gives a better result, but even so there is a small cut in the image at certain moments of the video. I have downloaded a 20-minute video in both apps, this one has a better performance but visualizing the result, I still think it needs to be fine-tuned a bit more.

Das Addon funktioniert nicht mehr und lädt auch keine Videos mehr herunter.
