Review for Complete YouTube Saver by TEOL
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
When it's working it's the best. When it's not can't get anything.
Needs fixings yet again at 20th December and onwards since FireFox made an update to 43.0.1.
Might be worth in the future thinking ahead of the game and making the updates run on the Aurora and Beta builds of FireFox.
That way if FireFox final gets an update we will have a fully working build everytime because it would have been made whilst said build is in it's Beta stages without having to wait for days and weeks for a CYD fix no offense.
As a new feature I would like to see it list both the opus and ogg VP9 versions as sometimes one is higher bitrate than the other so I think it's vital we have both options listed instead of having to choose the muxing for the VP9 or H265.
It's likely the m4a will still be the best audio for years to come on YouTube anyway but I feel if it's a video on the odd occassion that the Opus and Ogg are the best we need both on the screen to see what is the highest bitrate of them two.
Of course the mp3 and wave conversion needs to be able to automaticly detect the best bitrate from the lot of formats as well to be able to max the quality of the audio conversion especially on older videos where Ogg might win on the formats shootout with pure 128 vs 126 of the m4a in these older ones and Opus might not be on them older videos at all.
5 Stars for the great work creating this great YouTube Saver as it's the best when it works.
It does need to keep up with the FF updates system though as at the moment we will have to wait days for a fixed version because wouldn't even work on the new version after an FFMPEG December 2015 build update which is the latest although the website still has the 2014 but it should be working no matter which one we use as the addon detects both.
Yeah, definitely in the future making builds for the Beta of the next one 43.0.2 in advance will have us sorted ready for the final bug fixed version of 43.0.2 but at the moment we just need an 0.1 fix to get us working again and it's all good.
Thanks for the constructive review. Your feature request for listing VP9 + OPUS and OGG is a good one; we will consider it for a future update.
The problem with CYS 5.6.44 is not a compatibility issue with 43.0.1, it is an issue with signature encoding/decoding (for some users). Your point is well taken though. You can download the fix, v5.6.46 here:

To Install in Firefox 43 before it passes review, set the preference "xpinstall.signatures.required" to "false" in "about:config". You can read more about this here: https://cys.mantishub.com/view.php?id=68
