- Rated 2 out of 5by backwoodsman, 6 years agoWorks great on short videos (a few minutes long). But on long videos, it records all the way through to the end, but when you click the Download button, it processes for a very long time, then just stops, and there's no way to make it do anything, or get the video. I tried 2 videos of about 1 hour length, one on Youtube and one on another website, with the same result.

posted 6 years agoYeah, I will have to change that. It is like that, because to insert the "duration tag", we need to decode the entire video first and, for long videos, that's obviously going to take a while (or crash).
I recommend that you open the video in preview, and save it from there (with right click -> save video as).
EDIT: this should be "fixed". It will give you an error message, but you will be able to download the file, although it will not have the duration metadata. Developer response
posted 6 years agoI will add an indicator for "no media found on website," sometime, once I next update this.
Make sure the video/audio is playing when you click the button, or otherwise it's probably a bug on a specific website.- Rated 5 out of 5by Sindbad103, 7 years agoMy first test of this add-on on https://www.ardmediathek.de went well: I was able to capture some minutes of the livestream.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15279638, 7 years agoHello,
I have recorded a radio audio stream (about 1 hour) and then I tried to download the file. Now it's stuck at the recording icon and seems not to respond.
I have not used the Preview buttonDeveloper response
posted 7 years agoInteresting... Did you try opening the preview and downloading it via that? Sounds like that might be an issue with larger files. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15230678, 7 years agoPerhaps I misunderstood the purpose of this add-on... But it does nothing. I click the button and nothings happens. Neither on youtube nor on blabla.adobeconnect.com and not on any other website I tried.

posted 7 years agoYou should see the small status bar thingy. I might rework the UI to use the add-on popup one day, because the current one is buggy. Try again once that happens. (not sure when) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15133256, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14901752, 7 years agoIt works. I could record parts of a Youtube video, very useful when I just want to show off a small portion of a video to friends.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15056824, 7 years agoDoes not work, crashes randomly while recording and sometimes it simply disappears ...

posted 7 years agoThe recorder is still experimental tech from Mozilla, and constantly evolving. The UI is a bit difficult to keep consistent on all websites, since they all have their quirks.
If people would leave information like which websites they meet these difficulties on, so I could troubleshoot, then that would be helpful. - Rated 5 out of 5by Arif Demirci, 7 years agoI think this is the only working streaming recorder on the Internet. I hope you keep it up. Thanks a lot.

posted 7 years agoSome info on how it's not working would help improve this addon in the long run.- Rated 5 out of 5by Александр, 7 years ago
