They'd need a lot more pledges for that, doesn't look like it's going to happen. Check Goals on the left, the extension is barely above the minimum.

Curiosity will likely make me open each up and inspect all of the internal files for different sizes and datestamps, on which I will report what I find.
I just checked, and yes, there ARE significant differences in the internal files between these 2 versions, particularly files in the chrome/content folder.

Since the 5.7.34.0 FF/SM version seems to be working with all of my PM and SM browsers, I plan to stay with that for now. ;)

Understood, but I was just throwing the question out, in case anyone had tried and knew anything.

I'll be checking this myself soon anyway.

BTW, if CYS keeps working as well for YT as the version which am using now seems to be, I might just scrape something together for them.

After I installed CYS 5.7.34.1, I've not had a problems with the button disappearing on me. Rather that it shows up for every page, despite "Always Show Toolbar Icon" being unchecked. It's not there for a while when I start the browser or set it to not show in the extension option box. But after I visit a youtube page, it's there no matter what page I'm on.

PM 27.1.2 x64, Win7, Noia Moon theme, toolbar icon is placed next to Prev/next/home/refresh etc buttons.

installed it on palemoon 27.2.1 / ubuntu 16.04 (64 bit).
it works, and downloaded vids are OK, but it does not detect installed ffmpeg (neither 2.8 from official ubuntu repos, nor newer 3.2 from PPA).
i guess, due to this many format options are marked as unavailable.
does anybody know is it fixable?

If I recall correctly, you have to set the location of FFmpeg manually; CYS does not find it automatically. You can do this in the CYS options, in the "FFmpeg" tab. Make sure that FFmpeg is enabled, and set "/usr/bin" as its location.

If that directory does not work for you, open a console and enter "whereis ffmpeg". That should tell you the correct directory.

Have same zero file size problem with bon jovi - its my life or linking park (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsCD5XCu6CM) and about dozen other videos. I can try to save either whole video or just audio file, both with same 0 size result.
With some other videos saving works fine (Of monsters and men - Dirty paws lyrics video).
I am using Palemoon 2.7.3.0 x64 and version of addon 5.7.36.1

Your link downloads fine for me. (Same browser & addon versions as yours; on Manjaro Linux)

Is this an ongoing issue, or did it start happening only recently? It might just be a temporary thing that sorts itself out after a while. I had the same issue a few weeks ago, but everything worked fine when I tried again the next day.

Sometimes I can fix this issue by restarting the browser. Still not ideal, but give it a try.

CYS is being overhauled. There will be no more fixes until a new version is done.

Just now, I believe that YouTube may have subtly changed their access again. At least to some formats.
Fun and success!

I've been using this again recently (not today) and it's behaved pretty strangely, but still worked. In-browser the webm will fail to download and the audio succeeds... But if you just wait a while, the webm is actually downloading, and when it finishes it'll combine the files as normal.
