Since this thread is locked and i have found out whats wrong in description for Ant Video downloader-hack. uploaded xpi is working!
From above thread: Gigawatt Dec 8-2016
5) In the first line, change 26.0 to 20.0 (a different version number higher than 20.0 might have worked also, but... I didn't try it). You don't have to change anything in the second line. I did, but it was for testing purposes and didn't change it back...
Anyway, here is how I changed these two lines.
Code: Select all
<em:minVersion>20.0</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>80.*</em:maxVersion>
"You don't have to change anything in the second line. I did, but it was for testing purposes and didn't change it back..."

YES one must change to 80 since i left 36 alone and its asking for a converter.
Uploaded file there is ok.

This thread is related to:
Version: 27.9.6 (32-bit) (2019-03-02)
i have SSE-winxp.
videos wonderfully running. but palemoon was crashing more often than in v 27.9.4.1. will examine. maybe my pc(have multiple small Sata-drives and some mistakes on system.
UPDATE: Ant Videodownloader is still asking for a converter: its FFmpeg-here 3.4.1 should work but it doesnt.
Alternative: onlinevideoconverter can convert to MP4 and offer for download

Yep, Windows XP the operating system for today's low IQ software pirates and other criminals that like to steal intellectual property. Like videos off the Internet.
Good luck with that.

If the ability to download videos is available then its down to the video provider to stop such actions and branding people who download such videos as "criminals" is insane.If something is offered for free please don't slam the people who take it.
Intellectual property.?
maybe they should look after their intellectual property a bit better.

Google should block the entire ability to download any video if that's the case.
If you don't want the thieves to steal from your home then don't leave the door open.

You are the reason for EME. Such arrogance. Criminal.

Speaking of criminals reminds me of a saying: "If you have a gun, you can rob a bank, but if you have a bank, you can rob everyone."New Tobin Paradigm wrote:Criminal.
Re: Alternative to Downloadhelper:Ant videodownloader 2.4.7.47
Not really as i don't download them that often..Are you yourself not a criminal then as you provide extensions which aide the download of videos.?New Tobin Paradigm wrote:You are the reason for EME. Such arrogance. Criminal.
You can find several extensions which do it,god even the vlc media player can do it.!.They criminals also.?
The ball is purely in googles and other video sites.

I provide no such extensions.
Re: Alternative to Downloadhelper:Ant videodownloader 2.4.7.47
They can not block the ability to download the Audio/Video streams, because if they did that, they would not be able to provide the cloud based in-browser video player service. They are doing what they can to make extraction of A/V streams hard, however there is only so much they can do with JavaScript. Encryption is out of question for a pure JS video player implementation, because it would be slow and since the decryption would be done entirely by an user agent all information needed to manually decrypt and download the streams would be relatively easy to access. What would make things harder is introduction of a proprietary native back-box component that would be tasked with decryption. EME was created to make it easy for JavaScript to interact and communicate with such Content Decryption Modules.Moonraker wrote:Google should block the entire ability to download any video if that's the case.

@3dreal, just what is the point, question, issue, in your post?
Any particular reason you want to "convert" a video (which almost always entails quality loss - unless you're just changing its container)?

Re: Alternative to Downloadhelper:Ant videodownloader 2.4.7.47
If downloading videos is so wrong, why are there applications and extensions all over the place for that purpose? If it were illegal to do that, the people who produce those downloaders should be fined, or in jail, and forbidden to produce them again.
Re: Alternative to Downloadhelper:Ant videodownloader 2.4.7.47
Downloading videos is usually only against the ToS. Sharing downloaded videos usually illegal. This, of course, depends on the law used in your country.
Re: Alternative to Downloadhelper:Ant videodownloader 2.4.7.47
You know, you can always subscribe to the Don't ask, Don't tell policy regarding this subject.
For instance, if you don't ask about things to download the intellectual property of someone else.. I won't tell you that you are almost certainly a criminal.
Conversely, if you don't tell anyone you are downloading the intellectual property of others.. I won't ask you why you are doing something that is almost certainly illegal.

Using a video downloader is no worse than using an ad-blocker. In fact, an ad-blocker is probably worse because you're preventing the sites you frequent, including sites where you watch videos, from receiving revenue. This discussion is stupid.
