New in Video DownloadHelper 7.3.1 (Jun 5, 2018)

  • 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.

  • Fix: gallery downloads failure through CoApp 1.2.2 requirement

New in Video DownloadHelper 7.3.0 (May 30, 2018)

  • Fix: requesting a Download & Convert operation from a DASH streaming to an audio-only format caused the action to be stalled at 50%

  • 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

New in Video DownloadHelper 7.2.1 (Mar 7, 2018)

  • 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.

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

New in Video DownloadHelper 7.1.2 (Jan 18, 2018)

  • 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.

  • 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
  • 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

New in Video DownloadHelper 7.1.1 (Dec 14, 2017)

  • Version 7.1.1 fixes a bunch of issues that were introduced with 7.0.0.
  • At this point, 7.1.1 can detect and download any video that could be handled by version 6.3.3.

New in Video DownloadHelper 7.1.0 (Dec 10, 2017)

  • Version 7.1.0 fixes a bunch of issues that were introduced with 7.0.0. At this point, 7.1.0 can detect and download any video that could be handled by version 6.3.3.

New in Video DownloadHelper 7.0.0 (Dec 10, 2017)

  • Video DownloadHelper 7.0.0 is the first Firefox Quantum compatible version of the add-on. It is an almost complete rewrite of the extension.
  • Unfortunately, we have been lacking time and not all features could make it to 7.0.0. Within the next few weeks, most features will be back.

New in Video DownloadHelper 6.3.3 (Dec 10, 2017)

  • This release is the last one of Video DownloadHelper using the legacy Add-on SDK Firefox API.
  • It does not add nor remove any feature from the previous 6.3.1 version, just ensures the user configuration can be re-used when WebExtensions-based Video DownloadHelper 7.0.0 will be published.

New in Video DownloadHelper 6.3.1 (May 9, 2017)

  • <h3>Fixed missing audio on Vimeo videos</h3>
  • You may have noticed that for some time, downloaded videos from Vimeo (or from sites hosting their videos on Vimeo) do not have audio.
  • This is due a change in their streaming technology and they now stream the audio and video parts of the media separately, as YouTube have been doing for several years.
  • The Video DownloadHelper workaround is the same as with YouTube: use an external video converter to aggregate audio and video streams into a single audio+video file that can be used by your video player.
  • We are aware of the inconvenience of having to install an external application, but there is no easy alternative here. Note that once the converter is installed, the process is totally transparent and you end up with a fully playable video without any special action.
  • If you want to avoid using the converter, you can still use Video DownloadHelper to download separately the two streams (but you will have to find a way to play them together). For doing so, open DownloadHelper settings > More > Chunked streaming, check Advanced. In section DASH streaming, parameter When DASH contains both audio and video lets you choose which stream(s) you want to download. Default is Aggregate audio and video, which implies using the converter but you can change it to choose audio or video only.

New in Video DownloadHelper 5.3.0 (May 6, 2015)

  • Iintroduces a new capture method called Screen Capture, or SCRAP in some UI places, which consists of taking snapshots of a browser window region at high-frequency, and encode them on the fly, using the converter, to create a video file.
  • This capture method is used in two new features:
  • Browsing session capture: an easy way to make web sites demo videos. The add-on captures the visible part of a browser window and optionally, is able to highlight the mouse.
  • Applet capture: the add-on analyzes the loaded page to detect Flash and video regions big enough to be considered as capturable content and creates new entries in the detected hits list.
