This is for using e.g. aria2c when grabbing fragments with yt-dlp instead of the built in downloader. Automatic forwarding would require a disproportionate amount of effort due to the security measures in Firefox and modern browsers in general. Can't just launch external software from the browser.

Ok thanks, can you please add more User-defined command preset bank, maybe like 3 or 4? Is a hassle to been changing the commands between tv shows, movies and other content, like that you have one preset for movies and other for tv shows etc etc.
Thanks in advance for your amazing work!!!

There will be 2 additional user command fields (3 total) in v2.10.19.

is it possible to add custom name in user command fields
for example mpv in the first user command field and ImPlay in the second user command field

The user command fields are fully customizable. You decide what to put in them.

[candrapersada]

what I mean is create a name in the user command field
for example User-defined command 1 be mpv User-defined command 2 be ImPlay

I guess it could be done, though it'd be a bit annoying to implement. As is you can think of it as a memory exercise.

I think with a third party scripting app like autohotkey one could easily
parse the clipboard content to any external downloader.
I would use the OnClipboardChange function.
Maybe if i have time I'll build one.
ffmpeg would be the preferred downloader for streams i might add.
