Need help - Complete YouTube Saver

Unread post by fatboy » 2018-08-31, 00:53

Good Day Community,

I am having issues with Complete YouTube saver. It says I need to install FFMpeg, but it is installed.

I am running Palemoon on Arch Linux. Is there any additional packages I need to install, because I also can't see the downloader icon?

Thank You

No clue what YT Saver is, but maybe you need a symlink or similar to ffmpeg.bin (or whatever it may be called)?

And is ffmpeg actually need to download or are you looking to convert after the fact?

This may or not be your problem, but with other similar extensions I've set up before, you have to point the extension to the location of your FFMpeg installation (in options), else it has no idea where to look.

Actually, it downloads two different files, video and audio. And then combines them after it's all done.

I use Ant Video Downloader 2.4.7.50 and it does the same thing. But I did have to point
it to FFmpeg for it to work. ;)

CYTS is only compatable with v25 and v26. Read below link.

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.

Until then the old version 5.7.31 works just fine with Pale Moon 28. You can get it at the addon page under previous releases.

Complete Youtube Saver is the standard replacement for Firerfox video downloaders.
It is on the Pale Moon extensions list.

Yes thank you. Original v5.7.31 work ok with PM28, but the last PaleMoon specific version not.
