De laatste tijd weigert de VDH stelselmatig opnames te maken

This extension largely requires you to install a third party companion app to do most of anything. Very fishy. I downloaded an alternative extension which can download things without needing a companion app. This extension is useless without installing it's suggested companion application.

Six years ago, we used to be able download any 720p video (and even some 1,080p) virtually unrestricted, using this app and ONLY this app. Alone! Unsupported by any other app. Today, we are now required to download ANOTHER app (?!), a so-called "companion" app, even to download a video the size of a smartwatch (160x120)!

This app is THISCLOSE to being on the outs for me. What good is this so-called "most complete tool" if you have to download ANOTHER tool for it to work the way you EXPECT it to? To say nothing about the QR codes being slapped on videos that are downloaded with the secondary app, amid other things never mentioned in the app's overview.

Why does the "downloadhelper coapp" start automatically (even re-starts when it's killed) and then ominously transmit tiny amounts of data every few seconds (to a Dutch IP, port 8088).
There's nothing to be downloaded, processed or otherwise and I didn't even touch the button or visit a relevant webpage to begin with.

5 stars for the add-on itself for being able to download videos from pages that don't provide a native way to download their videos (or streams).

It works well altogether, but the co-app's behaviour seems very suspicious at times.

Edit (2021/07/06): The VdhCoapp also not just starts seemingly randomly, but is also started whenever a "streamed" video is on the webpage, whether it is needed or makes sense at all or not.
The only situation the coapp should be started is when downloading (and converting) a video (or stream) *actually* needs it, but certainly not when the webpage is rendered.

There should be an option to force VDH to completely ignore the coapp even when it's installed and recognised.

Now a "license" is required or a big QR code is slapped on the video. This is a recent change. I normally don't mind paying for stuff, but at $30, that's really steep.

window bottom can't be seen unless full screen or switch to external monitor

fewer & fewer sites can be downloaded

no longer works with X/Twitter

Braucht ewig lange und dann permanent dieser Barcode in der Ecke...
Da gibt es Besseres.

es stürz immer ab und kann keine MP3 konvertieren

The App would be nice if they warned clearly that they add a HUGE QR code in every video you download, unless you pay.

Since 2 or 3 weekes it is not working properly on Raiplay website. I can only download the video but not the audio. Result: I have a mute video! It is impossible to contact the support team of Video DownloadHelper. / It was a great tool to dounload videos but now is full of bugs. / Depuis quelques semaines sur certains site (ex. Raiplay) télécharge seulement la vidéo mais pas l'audio. On se retrouve avec une vidéo muet. Dommage, il fonctionnait très bien avant. Il est presque impossible de contacter le soutien.

Unas veces descarga y otras no. No sé porqué

It's was the best Add on to download Video, but since 1 week now. The video only stay in "waiting spool list" and do not download anymore. What is happening???

No me funciona para mp4

Edit 2023: I hardly use it anymore. Whenever I would want to use it to download a YT video it striaght-up does not work. Modern internet sucks.

Kind of works, unless you have to deal with ADP or Full HD Videos. Will take forever to convert/merge/whatever the video after initial download. Unfortunately, not that useful anymore if you want Full HD videos.
