Browser Extension To Download Videos From The Web
Artemisia Grieves
I'm writing a Chrome extension and I want to detect when a video starts/ends while a user is on youtube.com watching videos. The difference between my situation and other tutorials I've read is I'm not embedding my own youtube video on my own site, I just want to detect events off of the video the user is watching on youtube.
If you are using Mac OS Catalina or later and run into an error when trying to use the extension that reads "There was an error with screen capture. Check on the permissions and try again, or visit the Help Center," (shown below), read on to resolve it:
Although you cannot download the extension on those browsers, you can still record those browsers. You will need to download the extension via Chrome and click to record the "Full Screen" option. Consider using the Record deskop app instead.
Back in May of this year I reported a bug to Malwarebytes by email about the Malwarebytes For Chrome browser extension conflicting with the Video DownloadHelper extension for Chrome, and this bug was confirmed by Malwarebytes after I reported it by email months ago.
I would like to report a possible bug with the Malwarebytes For Chrome browser extension (previous version and current version) where it seems to conflict with the Video DownloadHelper extension for Chrome ( -downloadhelper/lmjnegcaeklhafolokijcfjliaokphfk) so when you click to download a video with that extension the name in the Save As Box will be random numbers (example: 348546) instead of the name (example: Flying Cat Video) that is displayed in that extension before you click to save the video.
When I disable Malwarebytes For Chrome this problem goes away, but if I have it enabled then the problem returns so I either have to keep manually entering the title every time I want to save a video or I have to disable the Malwarebytes extension.
This problem is pretty annoying for me and has prevented me from using the Malwarebytes extension for long, I have to keep disabling it, and so I usually give up using it until the next version comes out hoping that it will be fixed.
Just a thought. I have had the browser extension on both Chrome and Firefox (quantum 64 bit) for a good while. All was well until the most recent update of Firefox (64.0). Since then Firefox will not close properly - and it also seems to worry over downloading (downloads not completing).
However, having tried a host of things. Removing the Malwarebytes Browser Extension seems to have fixed the problem. Though I would dearly liek to have the browser extension back doing its sentry duty.
I may have got a lucky download without the Malwarebytes Extension... without it stuff is going awry. I have been just been browsing around the internet. I seem to have an automatic update of several programs and extensions. I have spent some time going through each adding and taking away. I have it seems run into the problem - I uninstalled the extension and reinstalled the previous version. (This was the simple Remembear password manager).
@rakeshsejwal Hello, I am talking about a bug / conflict that only happens when I have the Malwarebytes Browser Extension installed when trying to download files (videos) with the Video DownloadHelper Extension, when there is a video that can be downloaded on a page by that extension it will list the name and you can download the video.
Just an update, this issue still happens several years later in all the web browsers that I use (mostly Microsoft Edge & Brave Browser these days), this issue always causes me to uninstall Malwarebytes Browser Guard, and try it again later until it annoys me enough to uninstall it again.
Malwarebytes Browser Guard could be the best security extension in my opinion if: this problem gets fixed, if the ad-blocking was improved to the level of Ublock Origin (maybe you could fork it into your extension since it is open source) or Brave Browser's built-in ad-blocking (maybe you could fork this as well because they may also be using an open source approach) or Adguard (which Avira uses in their extension), and if there was a way to submit suspicious websites & false positives from the extension itself (like you can with Emsisoft Browser Security & web browsers like Microsoft Edge).
Is there any way I can prevent videos from loading at all in Chrome? I've already blocked Flash using Chrome's Content Settings for "Plug-ins". What I want is, a way such that any time Chrome sees a or , it just shows something like a grey box and doesn't even touch the linked video content. Maybe a "click to load video" button would be a nice feature, but it's not necessary.
Try to install Tampermonkey and search for a script that changes the 'preload' attribute of the tag from 'auto' to 'none'. However, changing this attribute would only stop auto-playing instead of blocking the element entirely, as NoScript does, which means Chrome may still buffer some small parts yet without playing them (BTW, Firefox has a feature to stop auto-play videos).
I repeat, this is not a global solution. But it does give you some control on websites you visit frequently until you switch to Firefox (honestly I'm not a fan of Firefox but it's the only browser that should provide a satisfying solution for you).
This free Chrome browser extension allows you to change the pitch and speed of video/audio and loop within a video, and it (currently) works with the videos on bluesharmonica.com. Think of it as what the Amazing Slowdowner does, but in a browser.
So, for example, you can raise the pitch by one tone and a half (in the extension, set transpose to 3) to make the recording for an A harp (played in E) playable in a C harp. That will allow you to practice all the lessons recorded for the A harp in that C harp you bought before enrolling in the site and realizing that you need an A harp.
In my case, it also allows me to follow along the Rice Miller artist study videos on my low F harp, despite they being recorded for a low C harp (that I don't yet have). David provides mp3s for the low F, but the videos, which contain more than just the recordings of the choruses, are for the low C, and that's kind of a bummer if you want to play along while watching them. Chrome extension to the rescue! Set "transpose" to 5 (i.e. two and a half tones higher) and, voilà, the recording for the low C (low G, since this is 2nd position) is played at the same key as the low F (low C, again 2nd position) and I can play along the videos. David voice's of course is also transposed, so he sounds a bit like the smurfs :), but you can stilll understand most of what he says at a higher pitch.
If your security solution starts detecting threats in Google Chrome or any other Chromium-based browser, the first thing you need to do is disable the malicious plug-ins, as those are what the security application reacts to. If you are not sure which of the plug-ins is dangerous, try disabling them one at a time until you find the right one(s).
That means, when you use the screen recorder extension, you have thousands of seamless app integrations, hundreds of templates, project-tracking tools, and robust collaboration features at your fingertips.
With Droplr screen recorder you can capture screen recordings, save them to the cloud storage, and share the link with anyone. The screen recorder is available as a Chrome extension, on Mac Windows, and on Chromebook.
Nimbus Capture has an extension screen recorder for Chrome, which is a versatile tool with a powerful video editor. The Chrome screen recorder captures entire web pages or parts and allows for easy annotation and editing.
You can record everything, from tutorial screencasts and online videos to Flash animations and casual video chats or a webcam recording with the screen recorder. Then, save your recorded video in popular video format with no special hardware required.
The provided tools allow you to quickly get contextual information on Facebook and YouTube videos, to perform reverse image search on Google, Baidu or Yandex search engines, to fragment videos from various platforms (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Daily Motion) into keyframes, to enhance and explore keyframes and images through a magnifying lens, to query Twitter more efficiently through time intervals and many other filters, to read video and image metadata, to check the video copyrights, and to apply forensic filters on still images. The main features of the toolkit are explained below, and in the following tutorial video.
This is a new feature (supported in v0.59) to access the InVID plugin and to help journalists to retrieve video and image URLs within the code of a web page. After clicking on the InVID plugin button of the browser menu, the user is showed the following menu.
The Thumbnails tab allows you to quickly trigger a reverse image search on Google, Bing, Tineye or Yandex Images with the four thumbnails extracted from a Youtube video. Up to four tabs (according to the number of thumbnails available) are opened automatically in your browser with the results of the reverse search while the four thumbnails are also displayed in the plugin page. This tab is somewhat redundant with what can be done with the Analysis tab but it is very fast and efficient if you just need to look whether a Youtube video has already been published previously. Please note that the Chinese search engine Baidu is not implemented here because it is filtering out Youtube content.
The Search tab allows to enhance a Twitter advanced search for keywords or hashtag using the since and until operators, either separately or together to query within a time interval, up to the minute. It translates automatically the calendar date, hour and minutes into an unix timestamp to facilitate the query, e.g. of first eyewitness pictures or videos within a time range just after a breaking news event. We have also added other features from Twitter advanced such geocode, near, from, language and various filter operators.
