This isn't really a new extension I just thought I'd package Blackcoils original extension as a CRX (because I like it) when extension support changed and although there is a User Script version I only use extensions, so hence my reason for packaging it...

Before anyone says I haven't formatted this properly, can I point out this isn't mine and I don't provide any support for it (and don't intend to), it's here if you want it that's all ...

Both myself and LucVN have tried several times to contact Blackcoil (Email, PM, his blog) all to no avail ...

So thanks to Waha and her Extension Manager (that I used to package it) here it is ...

This has worked successfully in all Dev versions since the use of CRX were first introduced and it works in the latest Beta version (3.0.195.4)

If you don't know what it ism here is Blackcoils original post
NEW YouTube Download Helper Extension

Enjoy ;-)

thanks for sharing it

do you mind if I make some suggestions?

see Read This Before Releasing A New Extension Here - Posting Rules

under Developer : Blackcoil; modified and packaged as an extension by Steve Paul

just a suggestion

@sul

I had read it, but as I didn't consider it to be a new extension (and I certainly won't be supporting it) just wanted to post something to say it was available (as Crx) if anyone wanted it ...

Dare say it'll just be forgotten about now anyway (shame really) ;-)

Thanks StevePaul, I've been wanting an extension version of this very useful addon for some time now.

Not a problem ....

hey guy's can't seem to make this work. I can already see it on "chrome://extensions" but still i can't get to see the download bar. The user script version works flawlessly before but when Google updated, it won't work. I really want this youtube downloader please help thanks.

Target
"C:\Documents and Settings\Paula\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --enable-user-scripts --enable-extensions"

Start in
"C:\Documents and Settings\Paula\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application"

The youtube.js and manifest.json location
C:\Documents and Settings\Paula\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\nngcnkmokaebchdigmbjikmcnoanjkpb\1.0

I'm pretty sure --enable-userscripts does not exists.

You are not using chromium instead perhaps, that could perhaps course it not to work..?

^i've removed it already but still it won't work

when I check the chrome://extensions

I can see the youtube download helper, how come it wont work? help guys

What version of Chrome are you on ?

^ 3.0.197.11
