This can often fix incompatibilities, especially if the site you're downloading from used to work previously.
Because new versions of youtube-dl are released frequently, please check the 'Update youtube-dl' option in the preferences of ViDL. Since ViDL is based on youtube-dl (a free command-line tool), the list of supported websites should be identical. Which websites does the app support?įirst of all, ViDL is not intended or designed to circumvent any kind of DRM or allow you to download videos from paid websites (like Netflix, Prime Video etc.). I have a problem downloading videos from. The functionality is completely equivalent to the bookmarklet, except that there's no confirmation dialog before opening the app. It adds a button to your toolbar that allows you to download videos from the page you're on. Thanks!Īfter launching ViDL for the first time, the Safari extension should show up automatically in Safari's settings, where you can activate it.
