    I really like the method and it works great so far, but what is the reason for the 1080p limitation?
    I would love to be able to go further, and why not also having the choice to download the HDR version when it exists.

    Edit: Well that was fast, thank you, you're the best! Here is your well deserved 5th star! Next step is HDR, that would be fantastic considering Firefox doesn't support it (yet). I'll create a GitHub account for further discussion, I have more ideas of improvement. Thanks again ♥

    Edit 2: HDR is working, that's fantastic! Thanks a lot!

    14 March: You want HDR, you say. Well HDR is what you get. Updated. You're welcome.

    13 March: Thanks for the kind review. You've made my day.

    I've changed the simple.py file to remove the 1080p restriction.

    Overwrite your exisiting simple.py and restart the server (download link should appear in a new tab when you update the extension but it's https://github.com/FarmLox/Simple/raw/main/simple.py). You can test it on a small video if you search for "4K ULtra HD | SAMSUNG UHD Demo׃ LED TV". It certainly works for me.

    When I can find time, I'll add an option to select the maximum resolution. I only restricted it to 1080p because I didn't want people to get a nasty shock. But I'm very happy to change my mind seeing as that's what you want and you've taken the time to let me know.

    Let me know if you have any more suggestions or requests (you could use the Issues part of that Github page, if it's more convenient). (I also plan to add the ability to download a timestamped section of the video.)

    Thanks again. Hopefully I can get the elusive fifth star?!

    Edit 15 days later. Tested again, still get the same result. YT-DLP works fine using it's built in commands in my terminal, and using a basic batch script, and I can't figure out why your add-on doesn't. Adjusting to 3 stars, because it seems to work for a few people.

    Edit 2: Based on another review, I changed the port in your python script to a random port, 17286 in this case, and it worked. FYI, and 5 stars.

    Hey, thanks for the 5 stars and the updated review! I'm glad it's working for you now.

    With the latest version, no-one should ever have to change the port manually; it will silently find an available one with some in-built wizardry.

    I really want to help you but I've just done a fresh install on a new machine and it works perfectly there too (just like on my machine).

    It's a shame that my new little extension is sitting here with a lone 1-star review when it's working fine for me and I replied to your first comment within an hour – but anyway, the main thing is that I'd very much like to get it working for you too. However, without being able to reproduce your error, I can't think of what might be causing it.

    So please keep updating your reply or, much better still, leave a message at github.com/FarmLox/Simple/issues.

    I'm happy to make a temporary version with more verbose logging which would probably show what's happening. But you'll have to go over to that Github page so we can get it done. I'd really appreciate it if you can spare the time; you might be helping more people out - and helping me make sure the thing is robust.

    Thanks again for the update. Could you please create an 'issue' at github.com/FarmLox/Simple/issues because I can't reproduce what's happening. It would be easier to talk over there.

    That video (if that's a YT ID) downloads fine for me:

    Thanks very much for reporting this. I hadn't checked the download links because I already have that file and it works fine for me. I've fixed the links now.
