Horrible... Only 20-30% of the video loads and then the image freezes but the sound continues.

On a 44 minute video, VidHelper downloaded 30 seconds and said the video was downloaded. Now I have to wait an hour to try again. If it worked, I would buy it but I have no guarantee is is going to work. A complete waste of time.

The plugin downloads only the first 2 minutes of video and all audio (29 minutes) from the online movie. Why would I pay for the full version when the free one can't handle performing the function it was designed to perform?

Did only work partially! When I downloaded 720p it worked, but the video hat choppy playback on VLC. M-Play played it. But, I clicked on 1080p. when i forced 1080p in the player, so that it did only have this option, everything seemed to work, and then it froze my system - 2 times! I will uninstall it... maybe it has to do, with my OS... I guess it is fine, if you stick to small video file sizes...

Works on most website. But, actually on CISCO NETACAD, I got some issues: 1. I have to reload the page sometimes about 2 or 3 times before it detects videos 2. It is now unable to find 'playlist'-like animations (as it was on a previous version (the one published on December 2024, when I bought the license because it was the only extension that could detect them!). So, I hope it will be fixed soon :) Thanks a lot
