Thanks for looking J.D.

That macro site is now defunct, tho' I already know of other sites like that
I was after a software downloader that integrates in k-m.

This macro add a download button below youtube videos.
Anyway I'm also using 3rd party tools like YouTubeDownloaderHD.

Nothing working here on goanna, no download button, and script update urls are dead.

The script doesn't need any update, to date, and it works. Because I use it, everyday a few time each. Not for any other reason.

Even if I use a modified version for my own browsing preferences, running that packed macro+script works perfectly.

But have in mind that this extension is to be used at youtube video watch pages. It doesn't work when videos are embedded as iframes, embedded tags or elsewhere outside YouTube pages.

Below the author and above the description you should see a download "button" with an arrow pointing downwards.


I don't use Goanna and I can't test anyway, but have in mind that Goanna, basically (even I can't confirm), is a render update, not the K-meleon shell itself. K-meleon Goanna or not, should still be able to load a macro and its injectJS command (in this case). This macro extension has a very basic functionality and should work with K-meleon. BUT, as per script file size, will only work with 75.0 and above. If you are using Goanna based on K-meleon 74, it won't work.

I didn't change anything but after a reboot I now get the download button and the file dialog
I click on that but only a new blank browser page appears with a very long url in address bar.
I tried again with fresh version of Goanna 76 to eliminate any of my configs with the same result.

That looks like it could be the download link, except that the browser wants to open it itself, thinking wrongly it can play it, instead of offering to download?
No idea how to fix such complicated things, but perhaps there are other workarounds?
Theory-1: what if you simply try to SAVE that empty looking page? Does it download a big file? If yes, rename it to mp4. Although, when *I* click your link, yt reports "forbidden". It could still work for you at the moment when it's created.
Or block HTML5. That has been mentioned a couple times in other posts, and I didn't get it until now - this is just to declare "I cannot play this" and THEN it offers to download?
Wondering if toggling a single pref might already be enough, just test:
permissions.default.media = 2 (INT)
If you don't see it on about:config, right-click and create it (or use one of my macros, like priv3buttons or permdefs)

Yeah, a side note about this, @mello and @siria.

When the video is protected, this is, it is a video with music (Vevo comes to my mind now), or it has some kind of restriction (game or movie trailer, etc) YouTube doesn't let to directly access/call the file to the script.

In the past, enabling JavaScript was enough, as if some kind of signature/referrer/whatever was needed. Now, after they started to use the HTML5 player, this doesn't work anymore, or very rarely.

For these types of videos you'll need to use a website scrapper (a web that "extracts" the url). Websites like savefrom.net.

Sadly those pages, in their majority, request JavaScript +, often, 3rd party JavaScript and/or cookies (usually not).


Maybe there is some script at greasemonkey sites with better capabilities. If you want to test, just download it and rename to the one used by the K-meleon extension. I never did as I never felt the need. I can live with that.

I tried various suggestions and at best video opens by itself in new
tab. I can copy the url, paste it into a third party downloader and download it but this isn't convenient.

I'm beginning to try other scripts
First one has a download button but this directs to a scraper site.
Script here Works for many sites:
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/369418-the-best-youtube-downloader-download-video-mp4-avi-mp3-hd-1080p-2k-4k-8k

Actually it is a very good scraper. But is easier to have the scraper site already opened in another tab and paste video page url from search results directly into it.That way I don't even have to open the video.
Saves on bandwidth - I have 20gb limit per month

WinX_YouTube_Downloader, for youtube, vimeo, dailymotion etc. I find it very easy, stable and simple and it NEVER FAILS no matter what type of video it is
