How to use YouTube download function?

pouriap commented 1 year ago

When you open a youtube video it should be automatically grabbed by grabby.

However there is a known bug in recent versions of Firefox. It looks like with newer versions of Firefox (I'm not sure which exact version) YouTube uses service workers to load videos which makes it nearly impossible to tell which tab a video belongs to. So Grabby doesn't show the video in any tabs. If this is the case it should be fixed by unchecking the "Show only downloads originated from current tab..." in the options page of Grabby.

I will probably have to release a new update soon and just show every YouTube video in every YouTube tab, until I can find a way around it with some code gymnastics.

OK! In Windows works like a charm, but in Linux doens't be working...
