In the previous version of TFF ik could use the helper addon Download Helper to download youTube videos which I couldn't open with Quicktime and play them later with NicePlayer. With the new version of TFF apparently I got a new version of DonwloadHelper too which doesn't work any more. As Mac Tubes has also been defunct for some time how can I get problematic video to play like in the previous version? Perian isn't used anymore by DownloadHelper? A troubleshooting advice would be highly appreciated. Thank you for the good work in keeping our dear PPC Macs alive and kicking (MDD Dual 1.25 GHz).

    Hello Jörg, I have no experience with Download Helper, but I use the "Download Youtube Videos as MP4" v. 1.8.3.1 add-on which works very well with TFF 38. You could also go to the Addons Manager and right-click Download Helper to check for updates. Maybe there was a bug in the version you had that has been fixed by now.
