Lo siento, no había proporcionado la aplicación complementaria antes.
Los archivos HLS (.m3u8) requieren una aplicación complementaria para descargar correctamente. Esto es porque los streams HLS están divididos en segmentos que necesitan ser unidos con ffmpeg.
Para descargar streams HLS:
Descarga la aplicación complementaria: https://github.com/rsohlot/video_downloader_extension_companion_app
Extrae y ejecuta el instalador para tu sistema operativo
Inicia el servidor antes de descargar
Para videos normales (MP4, WebM, etc.): La extensión funciona sin necesidad de programas adicionales.
En la versión 1.1.1 hemos mejorado el mensaje de error para mostrar un enlace de descarga directa.

Thanks for your feedback!
Sorry, I hadn't provided the companion app before.
HLS files (.m3u8) require a companion app to download properly. This is because HLS streams are split into segments that need to be merged with ffmpeg.
To download HLS streams:
Download the companion app: https://github.com/rsohlot/video_downloader_extension_companion_app
Extract and run the installer for your OS
Start the server before downloading
For regular videos (MP4, WebM, etc.): The extension works without any additional software.
In version 1.1.1 we've improved the error message to show a direct download link.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13160720, 3 months agoGot it to download study lectures. Works a treat. Just play the video you want to download, press the Video Downloader icon and a list of links comes up. This bit is confusing, as the list has so many links for the video, but I select the link right at the bottom of the list and the video gets downloaded. Had a quick try on Youtube, and it doesn't seem to work.

I'm glad it's working well for your study lectures. You're right about the multiple links being confusing - I've just released v1.0.1 which fixes the duplicate detection (It was showing 2 times for same video)
Regarding YouTube: Unfortunately, YouTube uses advanced DRM protection that makes video extraction extremely difficult.
Working on improvements including thumbnail previews and other features. Thanks for helping make it better.
