For installation instructions, follow the steps in the README.

To use the new paywalled/private videos feature, you must be on Linux. Windows is currently unsupported due to outdated mpv versions. If you are on Linux, downgrade your youtube-dl to a version older than 2017.08.06. This is due to the same reason.

For Windows users, this version of this extension does not work and causes a surge of CPU usage in the native host. A hotfix is available in version 1.2.6.

Additions

  • Added support for paywalled/private videos.
    • This includes examples such as private YouTube videos or Crunchyroll Premium content. No, this does not work with Netflix, and likely never will.
    • This only works with services that support authentication cookies. However, most services use cookies to authenticate, so this won't be much of an issue. If you come across a service that is supported by youtube-dl but will not load videos with this extension, please create an issue.
  • Added a context menu when right-clicking on links.
  • Added a timer icon so you know the extension is doing something when you press the extension icon.

Changes

  • Reworked the majority of the extension and native host backend code. If there are any major issues you come across, please create an issue.
