Hi, 

In case of multiple videos in one page, is there a "download all" detected videos button? 

Thanks

In Firefox, if you are on a YouTube page, you can do Ctrl+a to highlight the entire page.
Alternatively, you can swipe your mouse over a section of the page to highlight only some
of the links on the page. After that, in both cases, an entry labeled "Bulk selection"
appears in the VDH menu that allows you to download whatever you have highlighted. This
apparently does not work on other web sites. I do not know if this works the same with
Chrome. You could try it & report back your results.

Hi Wild, Thanks. Chrome does not allow users to download from YouTube. The site I am downloading from is not YouTube. But the helper also does not recognize multiple videos on the page by selection. I have to click each link and then wait until the video load a little bit to have it detected. After that, they are all listed in the pop-up window. 

It is a bit like if you open this site, it detects all. But then there is not one button to click to download all.

Right. I knew that. Sorry. Senior moment. Well, then there's nothing you can do. It
doesn't show the Bulk selection for me on that page, either, using Firefox. The way
you're doing it is the way it has to be done. Too bad.
