I updated Media Downloader Unleashed so it can download MPD streams!

It's been a while since I've posted an update for my browser #extension to download videos, audios and streams, and I'd like to let you know you can now download #MPD (mpeg-dash) streams with it! (And also m3u8 streams, and any other raw media format!)

Try it if you want! It's completely free, #opensource and MIT licensed!

Available on the #firefox add-ons store, but can be built for chromium as well!

I have alias aria2c='aria2c -c -x 10 -k 5M', which regularly downloads 50%+ faster than Firefox.

@MonkderVierte I'm afraid I can't handle that from a browser extension, but good to know!

Eh, here's the manpage.

@MonkderVierte The thing is, since the code is running inside a browser extension there's no way to interact with third party tools that aren't part of the standard JavaScript api.

Well, I mean there's Native Messaging https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Native/_messaging but it only works for PC (Bye bye to ~70% of Android users) and I'd have to use a forked version to be able to handle messages from the browser extension, so I think that's not the best solution for me

Yeah, thought so. But there was a slight hope you could replicate the parameters behavior.
