Video Download Manager

About

Video Download Manager helps you detect and save permitted MP4 and unencrypted HLS media streams directly from your browser.

The extension watches the active tab for open media requests, groups duplicate sources, shows the current stream, and lets you download supported videos with clear progress tracking.

Key features:
- Detects MP4 and unencrypted HLS media streams
- Works with many supported social and video websites
- Current-stream matching to avoid stale previews and old sources
- Preferred quality setting with Auto fallback
- Browser-based download progress with Stop controls
- Smart source sorting and duplicate filtering
- Automatic metadata lookup when available
- Organized folders for series and seasons
- Local-first detection: media detection and download status stay in your browser

Video Download Manager is designed for saving media you are allowed to download. It does not support YouTube downloads, DRM-protected services, paywall bypassing, authentication bypassing, or unauthorized access.
