Video download helper

zmaint

Anyone use this? Is it safe and does it look like it will work? I used to use it on windows but that was years and years ago.

It's a good app but a better bet is yt-dlp and is included with Solus:

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

Just type at the command line yt-dlp then paste the url of the video you want to rip and let it do it's thing.

I believe videodownloadhelper is just a front end for yt-dlp or youtube-dl anyway.

zmaint

riffer I'll give it a go and let you know how it works.

zmaint DO NOT get the companion app (too much bloatware, sketchware) just get the download helper extension itself and use it in the browser.
It's OK; has a 50% success rate. youtube-dlin the terminal takes up the slack.
