FDM Stream Capture (Style IDM) troch Demondra

Stream Catcher for FDM

Stream Catcher for FDM is the ultimate companion for Free Download Manager (FDM). Unlike standard download extensions, this powerful tool is specifically designed to detect and intercept complex video streams (M3U8, DASH, HLS) and direct HTML5 videos that traditional downloaders often miss.

Key Features

• Advanced Stream Detection: Automatically detects hidden video formats like .m3u8, .ts, .mp4, and adaptative streams across the web.
• YouTube Support: Seamlessly captures and sends YouTube video links directly to FDM in maximum quality.
• Cookie Delivery: Bypasses anti-download protections by sending your active browser cookies and referers directly to FDM. If you can watch it, you can download it!
• Smart & Clean UI: A beautiful, non-intrusive hover button appears only when a real downloadable video is playing.
• Memory Persistence: Never lose your captured links, even if you navigate away or leave the tab open for hours.
• Zero-Config Fallback: Instantly sends standard videos to FDM using fdm:// without any setup needed.

IMPORTANT: One-Time Setup For Premium Features

To unlock Premium features like Native Native Messaging authorization, secure Server downloads (Uqload), and Cookie Delivery, you must perform a one-time "handshake" script.

Option A: Automated Bridge Setup (Easiest)

1. Download the automated linker tool from our GitHub (or directly inside the extension Onboarding Screen):
   Download FDM_Linker.bat
2. Double-click the file to execute it (No Administrator rights required!).
3. Completely restart your Browser (Firefox/Chrome).

Option B: Manual Setup

If you prefer to do it yourself:
1. Navigate to: C:\Users\[YourUser]\AppData\Local\Softdeluxe\Free Download Manager\Mozilla\
2. Open org.freedownloadmanager.fdm5.cnh.json with Notepad.
3. Add "stream_catcher_fdm@freedownloadmanager.org" to the "allowed_extensions" list.
4. Save and restart Firefox.

That's it! Your browser is now permanently linked to FDM. Just hover over any video on the web and enjoy the magic!
