My Firefox add-on to download music and videos just got a big update!
Media Downloader Unleashed, a browser extension I made that allows you to download streams, videos and music files, recently reached a pretty big update! Maybe you can try it if you think it would be useful :
- Downloads media from thousands of sites
- Works on any platform, PC or Android, without needing to install a separate app
- Completely free, and open source.
- No data tracking!
You can get it at https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/media-downloader-unleashed
Try it, and tell me if you like it!
Here is the source code : https://github.com/helloyanis/media-downloader-unleashed

Added. Next step is to figure out where to download music to add to my new Amazfit watch

@DarkPassenger Awesome! Well, if the website you are downloading from does not work, tell me and I'll try to figure it out!

My Lemmy client absolutely slaughtered your text formatting - the original post is much more legible on Mastodon thankfully
Links for the curious

The OP looks fine on Voyager. Which Lemmy client are you using?

Also Voyager... Weird. Must be a Mastodon to PieFed thing

Weird. Here’s mine.

It must be a bug in the software that's doing the federating - PieFed vs Lemmy. That's kind of surprising, but good to know.

@pkjqpg1h Yes, indeed that's an issue with the Firefox app, there's nothing I can do on the side of the extension with this, as it acts as if you cancelled the download.
However, a workaround is, load the website and the add-on in a non-private window and make sure "Media cache" is enabled in the add-on settungs.
Once the download is over and the popup to download flashes and disappears, start downloading again (with the same quality as before if asked).
The download should only take a few seconds as the add-on caches the video/audio data so it can do faster downloads.

Does it work for youtube?
helloyanis@furries.club · 1 pts · 81d
@SupremeDonut It does if you use an invidious front-end, load the videos from https://inv.nadeko.net/
Cool that you found it! If you end up trying it, tell me what you think!
