  • Version 7.3.4

    Works with firefox 57.0a1 and later
    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

  • Version 7.3.1

    Works with firefox 57.0a1 and later
    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

  • Version 7.2.2

    Works with firefox 57.0a1 and later
    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

  • Version 7.1.2

    Works with firefox 57.0a1 and later
    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
