That's pretty cool I used to have a extension called get them all which was a little bit suspect looking and it stopped working eventually but it was great for pretty much exactly this functionality

So is this like Video Download Helper but FOSS? If so, I will look to switch.
@Fmstrat Pretty much. Some parts of Video Download Helper are FOSS but it needs an extra app, as for mine it all runs locally within the add-on while needing less permissions and working on Android too!
Sometimes it's a bit more quirky with detection (I haven't tried VDH much) but it's completely free!
Ok, great, thanks! But what has the internet come to, that you need to detect videos.
@MonkderVierte Well, for streams for example they don't store the entire video in a single file which can be good. If you only watch half of the video for example it will not load the second half (so saves on data) and it can be played even if it's not entirely loaded.
But playing these types of files offline is pretty tricky that's why I tried to make the process easier!
Yeah i know, the .m3u8 thing. Was just lamenting the state (or rather state-less-nes) of the internet.
Wow, Congratulation!
I searched a media downloader a while ago for android, and this works! Thanks for creating it!
Looks promising! Will be installing it when Iβm at my pc
Cool.
I have been using it for the past few months!
Works like a charm. Keep it up!

Wow, congratulations on your achievement! I'm not quite sure what your extension refers to :P
Sadly all of the links are 404'ing from my end at PieFed
...why is piefed changing the links at all?
they're removing the tankies from the links, damn tankies
the tankies are in links now? lol
We're everywhere 
did piefed resurrect tesseract to block tankies in the links now? lol
Because they are authoritarian dweebs that hate the open web.
piefed is going to piefed. lol
Congratulations!
Nice work!
