This is in the hands of the developers, who are doing an extended rewrite of the extension.

A not-so-old note on CYS' AMO page says they'e still working on it, people should not consider it abandoned.
The note says:

One alternative for downloading from YT is to temporarily disable MSE for MP4.
Then right-click, "Save Video As...' from the context menu.

I haven't tried this out on "new" YT, but I know it works on old/classic YT, which I see that you're using.
Preferences > Content > Video section > deselect: "Enable MSE for MP4 video"

Thank you. I was not aware of this.

I tried out this setting. But I did not find any Video, that works this way.

@Vitasta, you misattributed this quote to me - I didn't write what you quoted.
I was merely quoting the developers. Sorry if that wasn't clear, I've edited my post accordingly.

We are still working on the new version of CYS, it has not been abandoned.
The problem with that, is that any new version will be a webextension version, which will not work in PM.

They could, potentially, further develop their "classic" version, but that is not likely to be so.
And if it were to be, it would be hosted somewhere other then on AMO.


And in the realm of Youtube downloaders, Youtube changes, frequently, & downloaders are often in a scramble to catch up. So a dated downloader very well may not work at all (& CYS is dated, at this point).

@coffeebreak
Sorry it's my fault. I was not careful enough when I did the quote.

@Moon Walker
Thank you for the alternative.

@therube
Thank you.


I suggest then to delete this addon from the list in the "Fixed" section:

From this page:
http://www.cys-audiovideodownloader.com/

.There will be no more updates after v5.7.36. We are rewriting the
code from scratch, not just for WebExtensions but for the other browsers
....as well. We will be back soon with a new and improved version of CYS.
