Dishita's express application really works well and the support is great. I was having difficulty with some downloads not playing properly, turns out it was a codec problem that Dishita showed me how to fix from within the application. If a download fails or won't play properly, try the download again but this time change the video codec (there's a drop-down) to vp09.xx (not vp9). I didn't realize it, but you can change the codec from the "video codec" drop-down. It's very simple.

It's impossible to tell if you need to change to codec before the download is finished. The only way I can tell is that the downloaded video simply doesn't play. So try the default codec first, and if it doesn't play, download it again with a different codec. Remember that the "vp9" codec (if it's in the dropdown) does NOT work, and only the vp09.xx codec does. vp09.xx was the one that worked for all my problem videos.

Browser add on does not work anymore. It used to be great and I was one of those who paid for the pro version which also no longer works. I realize the breakage is not Dishita's fault, its youtube security changes nevertheless he still has this webpage up asking for donations for a browser app that no longer works. Yes he says that now he has a downloadable app that works but you must pay before trying it and who knows how long before youtube fixes the security holes he's exploiting. The webpage should be changed to indicate that the browser addon no longer works and as for the app, he should state that you purchase it at your own risk. Youtube could change security tomorrow and render your app unusable.

I have the pro version, but Firefox get stuck on "generating download link"

How can it work for some and not for others? It tells me that it creates a link, but it would probably take forever to create one.

This extension hasn't worked in months, at least not the free version. Looks like support or upgrades are never going to be done. Skip this.

After satisfactory using Easy YouTube Downloader for some time within YouTube, in the last weeks I constantly had a problem that I could not download, and on the YouTube site there was a message from the makers of Easy YouTube Downloader, stating that YouTube was constantly making their lives more difficult.

I wasn’t really sure that said message was from them, so I sent following email to them:

“Is it really you that tells us that Youtube again is blocking your proxies and that you're now in the process of making a desktop app and want us to fill out a form, or is it Youtube that tries to get our names and email addresses.”

Not long after that I received a nice email, saying that is was not YouTube, but the Easy Download program makers that put that message there, and they also explained a bit more about a desktop App they were developing and which I could download and mentioned the costs.

I then sent them following email:

“thanks for your explanation. In the meantime I paid the $30 (which is too cheap, in my opinion) and downloaded the Beta software.
Thanks again”

I’ve now used the downloaded beta-program for a few downloads, and it really works amazingly good and fast. Very easy, no manual necessary, you can specify many downloads and then start downloading them in the background.

Be advised though that the default setting in the beta-program is for downloading in “Best” quality. I didn’t think much of it, but my first downloaded file was a very HD file (3820x2160), size over 3 GB and my older Smart TV couldn’t handle it.
I then changed some pre-defined settings (easy to do) and then downloaded the same file in 1920x1080 resolution, like the downloads I made in the past and now my (not so) Smart TV could handle them as well.

Of course that size problem has nothing to do with the Easy Downloader program, that really shines and does a very good job, and I stand to my remark that $30 is far too cheap for such an amazing program, that now, as a stand-alone App, can also download from almost any URL, so not just YouTube.
Please give it a try, it’s worth it !!

FRAUD - they stopped supporting the extension after payment and want to sell a desktop app

persisting failure to create downloadlinks - which means it doesn´t work, which again means it`s not siúitable for the job - unlike it used to be at first.
checked for updates -it seems to be the latest version
like this it´s a complete failure -sorry to say
