If you still encounter the issues after this operations please contact with details to our support here: https://www.ant.com/support_form - Noté 4 sur 5par Fritz Korn, il y a un anI use the AddOn since a long time.
Version 4.13 of the addon is working again, where version 4.12 was buggy and unusable !
Version 4.9 was the best up to now. I have made a reset to 4.9 for my computer, sorry ;-)
Please add four features to your addon 4.14:
1. show the number of still working downloads.
2. please enhance the clearness in the window "all-video-downloads".
3. Please process changes of the settings immediately and not only reentering the settings-window (uncommon)
4. please add a checksum (i.e.MD5-checksum) in the download-info, that we can check it after the download of the native client and anytime later.
Thank YouRéponse du développeur

Unfortunately video detection at facebook.com was disabled due to the problems in the way of streaming. - Noté 4 sur 5par LauraLct, il y a un anHello, this add-on works perfectly, except that I want to download videos from a streaming platform, but every time I download a video it is downloaded in its lowest quality (for example if I select 720p, the downloaded one will be at 480p). How do I fix that? (sorry for mistakes, english is not my first language)

Please contact with the link to the problem video toour support here: https://www.ant.com/support_form - Noté 1 sur 5par Redfish, il y a un anSince end 2021, use too much cpu/ram... making Firefox very slow and the app sometime unusable (at best, can download 1 video at same time, during this time, it not responding).
Uninstall/reinstall addon and native app is not better.
Wipe out an reset work, but only for some days.
Must reset every 2-3 days for have not too much problem.
It's like if all videos detected are never deleted of the memory of the addon, and continu to use ressources.
PS: Sorry for bad english level.Réponse du développeur

There's a comment from the developer I saw on one of the bad reviews that says the person needed to reinstall, I'm guessing maybe an update borked the extension for some people, and I can say that seems to track considering my new install is fine. If that changes I'll update this while leaving this first impression so people get the whole story. (If that's possible, I've never bothered to review something on here so I don't know yet.)

Don't hesitate to contact to our support in case of any issues: https://www.ant.com/support_form - Noté 1 sur 5par MOReGANja, il y a un anlike all the other reviews say, this extension USED TO BE the best. But at the end of 2021 they made it useless, now all it does is freeze up firefox and if you don't remove it fast enough it will freeze your entire computer. There are no fixes as of Jan 29, 2022. Uninstalling and reinstalling DOES NOT fix anything, uninstalling and reinstalling the native app will also DO NOTHING TO FIX IT, it will work for a day or two but then it will go right back to freezing everything. Uninstalling and reinstalling firefox will also not fix the issue. It's a real shame that they ruined this extension it worked great for years, but now it's completely worthless.

Please don't hesitate to contact with any questions or suggestions to our support here: https://www.ant.com/support_form - Noté 1 sur 5par Cristian, il y a un anThis extension used to be one of the best video downloader up until the end of 2021. Moving to the new interface and changing the native app code (the file size is 4 time bigger), it slows down FF so much that it cannot even load the drop down menu to show the detected videos.
I disable this extension for the moment until the developers decide to make it work again.
Update: I did reset (wipe out) the extension and I also contacted the developer with their support form. They answered that the extension is meant for more powerful computers (as if an i7, 8GB RAM is a low end computer?)Réponse du développeur

Increased Native App size is related to the new tools added for checking the streams befor downloading.

"AVOID 4.12
This was a great add-on until they tried to make it better."
I feel I was extremely unfair leaving such a harsh review.
You made something that a lot of people found useful, that includes me. It saved me hours of memory buffering waiting for videos to load and play. So, please accept my apologies I'm sorry.
All the complaining really resulted from your success with the addon.
Must have been somewhat gratifying and ego stroking to know people missed something you created. Unfortunately, some, well me, were completely ungrateful in the first place for it's existence, not to mention it was made available for free.
I really should have thanked you for giving the world this pretty cool and incredibly helpful addon.
So.. Thank you.
Thank you for your hard work, your generosity and your patience.
I hope the kinks get worked out and I promise to do better.Réponse du développeur

If you have any problems or suggestions, please contact with details to our support here: https://www.ant.com/support_form - Noté 4 sur 5par Zimba, il y a un anI find it is an improvement from the last few versions. Maybe I am lucky, didn't get the memory leaks etc. On the functionality, I would like to get the link again on each download to the temp folder. I often see that a download is running too fast, and then when I check the temp folder for that specific file, it shows only 1kb segments. Then I need to reload the page and fresh. It is cumbersome to get to the temp folders. Previous it was quick and easy. Also please check on the time out settings. I live in a rural area and often have hickups on the internet connection, causing the download to time out. Then have to start fresh as there is no resume option. When Ant detects a file as segments to download, it take a very long time to download only a few mb. When I have the option to download through browser and download as mb's, it is much faster. Why is the segments so slow. Please find a way to speed that up. I only have a 4g connection and most of the time only get about 200kb/sec. So these extra limitations are quite frustrating. I also often get the download running almost all the way through and then says unsuccessfull due to 0kb files.Also a new thing is when selecting to download through browser, which is the much faster option for me, then it downloads halfway through and then suddenly says finished, though only half the file was downloaded.

- Noté 1 sur 5par Nightwatch, il y a un anRecent updates have broken this extension, yes even the update as of 01-18-2022. The memory leak is still in effect as is the CPU use cycles. The only difference I can see is that the firefox.exe that is hammering the RAM will now close when closing the browser (before you had to kill it in the task manager.) This extension's high resource use is enough that I am considering it potential malware.
Update. After uninstalling and reinstalling the ap, the memory leak seems to be resolved, as is the CPU thrashing. The mod once again seems to be functional, I will increase the rating of this addon if it continues to work as designed for a few more days.Réponse du développeur

It absolutely destroys memory and performance for Firefox.
It makes the entire browser lag even when you're just opening a new tab. I confirmed Ant Video Downloader was the problem and haven't had an issue since disabling it.
Hoping for an update that makes it usable again but for now I don't recommend it.Réponse du développeur

I had to uninstall the extension two days ago. I studied computer science and did some programming many years ago hence I still recognize a blatant MEMORY LEAK and THRASHING - meaning this extension exponentially consumes excess system RAM until virtual memory is activated essentially hanging your computer that even a proper shutdown is near-impossible. The memory consumption is uncontrollable and very risky for a hard drive. It took me quite sometime to isolate the problem to this extension. Once Firefox is activated the system RAM begins to run wild after about a minute.
The affected firefox process is the one controlling all firefox extentions, hence terminating it stabilizes firefox and the computer but it kills all active extensions. You can activate each extension individually, but the moment you activate this Ant Video Downloader the issue will begin again.
I wonder if software development standards have dropped so bad that a program like this is allowed on a major web browser like firefox, even though I have reported the problem no one seems to care. You guys should deactivate the extension until the issue is fixed, or just totally remove the last update and create a completely new update rather than try to isolate one issue in a bad program.Réponse du développeur

Lately I've had some stability issues between the extension and Firefox (Firefox becoming a CPU and RAM hog). I have described those issues in Ticket#647948. They have required at least 3 reinstalls to get everything back on track, at least for a couple of days. It doesn't seem 100% stable at the moment, but at least it works again. :)

mis en ligne : il y a un anWe are sorry to hear that you are having problems with the update.
Please contact with details about your problem to our support here: https://www.ant.com/support_form - Noté 1 sur 5par Augur, il y a un anIt worked fine until the last update. Now, this thing slows Firefox down to a crawl, eats >95% of my available RAM, and it is impossible to access the menu even after reinstalling it or restarting Firefox, before memory usage blasts through the roof, because the menu won't even show up.
Clearly, as many other users have said, the devs should revert to the previous version and leave it at that, because it was nice, unobtrusive and did the job as asked. We don't need no fancy stuff or whatever, just tell me what videos are on the current tab (limit the displayed list to 5 or 10 items if there's a lot of videos, with a link to open a complete list if needed, which should hardly ever be needed), allow me to select which ones I want to download and where, and that's it.
I'll keep an eye here to see if the devs come back to their senses, but I'm also going to look for other apps doing the same job. If I find a good one, I'm probably not coming back though. Too bad, this extensions had been awesome for many years, but not anymore.Réponse du développeur
