Add easy to use feature "send links to external downloader" by just specifying the path of the download manager and adding arguments herf just like the extensions Bulk-media-downloader and add native support of FDM and IDA the famous russian dowload manager capable of downloading video from m3u8 link and support / integrate cookies arguments of the extension External Application Launcher to skip youtube throttle and download protected restricted videos please !

Hi, sometimes I encounter download problems when I playback the temporary video during download using the internal downloader parser of video downloaders extensions....

so I think the best way to see the temporary video and playback and avoid possible download failures of hls video with multiple small video fragments slices is to use an external media downloader, and today I install and i discover the hidden potential of the extension Bulk-Media-Downloader extension capable of detecting m3u8 links of embedded streaming video hls via network observer and capable of sending detected m3u8 link to external media download manager like FDM!

i recently discovered a famous russian download manager IDA: internet download accelerator: a rare powerful download manager capable of downloading videos from m3u8 links detected by download videos extensions like Cat Catch and Live-stream -donwloader :

IDA internet donwload accelerator download manager :

https://github.com/xifangczy/URLProtocol
https://github.com/nilaoda/N_m3u8DL-RE
https://cat-catch.bmmmd.com/docs/invoke

but unfortunately, after downloading 5 videos, IDA shows me an error message "download prohibited", this error message doesn't happen when I use the internal downloader of the Cat Catch and Live stream downloader and extensions, I guess the website has detected the use of an external download manager.....

so here is my idea please: Bulk-media-downloader asks us to install the famous extension: External Application Launcher to send the m3u8 link detected by its network observer to an external download manager like IDA where we have to specify the path and the HERF argument is added automatically.....

https://github.com/andy-portmen/external-application-button

so in the extension settings: External Application Launcher , at the bottom, I activate the "external access" option: Allow other extensions to run native commands (
use with caution (you will get a confirmation box on every new requests),

and in the extension settings: External Application Launcher, I add the path of IDA download manager and in front of the box: argument , I click on the options: get cookies, referer, user agent , url protocol to add these arguments because sometimes, we need cookies to avoid youtube throttle and to download protected restricted videos, and also I think it will allow external download managers not to be blocked, I am doing tests with these arguments: [HREF][REFERRER][USERAGENT][COOKIE][PROTOCOL] .......

so my request please Mr @xifangczy , is to add native support for IDA internet download accelerator , and add easy simple feature : send link to external downloader and an option to indicate the executable path of the external download manager and option to add the herf and cookies referer arguments as we can do in External Application Launcher please !

and maybe add by default these aguments to the external donwloader which can help maybe to avoid download blocking like : [REFERRER][USERAGENT][COOKIE][PROTOCOL]

here streaming sites to find and test valid m3u8 links to send to external donwloader :

also, more and more streaming platforms use VideoJS object / Jwplayer to broadcast their videos and maybe to better prevent downloading, sadly, actually Cat-Catch can't out of the box detect complex and extract media stream from VideoJS object / Jwplayer out of the box and we hope please the vital capital support detection of media in videojs object / jwplayer in observer network given the popularity of videojs object / jwplayer videos which invades streaming platforms !

this support of these streaming protocol will even more make the extension popular and become the most important and useful in the world , thanks !

Videos in videojs object and jwplayer are for example in these sites :

The extension "Live stream downloader" wasn't able to detect videojs / jwplayer videos but, after my request, 2 commits were added by Mr Chandler to fix this problem VideoJS object and Jwplayer so it is technically possible to detect and download complex videos of videojs / jwplayer out of the box!

here are the comments of Mr Chandler the developer of Live stream downloader when he fixed this videojs / jwplayer problem after my request by making 2 commits:

"I added a new inspector to get the "jwplayer" playlist when the interface is open. Although you don't get the badge counter, the extension still tries to find the playlist when the interface is loaded.
You can try the developer version to confirm."

"The interface now supports extracting media streams from VideoJS object. So although the extension still cannot detect links on this site, if you open the interface, you will see the extracted M3U8 stream. "
