Add-ons

[Alex]

@alex That's a great new feature, I didn't notice it until now...

I've gone through the documentation PDF and example code, is currently no option there to add a settings fields for the plugin itself? Or am I missing something.
For example, I want to create a plugin that will download from websites which require credentials. How can I enable users to enter them for a plugin to use?

For now, the plugins architecture is very simple and limited. We have no motivation to enhance it yet. So, unfortunately, it's not possible for a plugin to have its own settings. But, in your case, I believe there is still a way to do it without FDM support. For example, you can show your settings UI when your add-on's code is invoked and needs password.

Talking about add-ons, can they add a feature/or as an add-on that goes on top of any video in the browser with the extension suggesting to download it? An inspiration from IDM.

Hello,
Please read the documentation (link in the very first message in this topic).
Please feel free to give us any suggestions on the required improvements of the current API.

Hi here !

I maked a plugin for download videos on the site ( https://picta.cu ) in my country (Cuba) based on the plugin Elephant and picta-dl video downloader for Picta.cu.

But I have various issues with the FDM API (v4)

- The subtitles object is ignoring the File’s extension that I setting (srt)

- Thumbnails don't show in FDM download windows

code: (Based on msabstractparser.js Elephant's code ):

Code: Select all

var myObj = JSON.parse(output);
let Subtitles = {
   ext: "srt",
   name: "Spanish",
   url: myObj.subtitle_url   
};

let Thumbnails = [
   {"url": myObj.thumbnails['url'] + "_100x240",
   "height": "240",
   "width": "100"
   }
]

myObj.subtitles = {"es": [Subtitles]};
myObj.thumbnails = Thumbnails;
resolve(myObj);


The subtitles getting downloaded fine but in this format: "%(title)s.%(ext)s" where title is the video title but ext is the language (es) example: Wicked.es instead of Wicked.es.srt

I haven't published the plugin on Github yet but I need to know how to get the signature for updates

Regards !

Hello,
Thanks for developing FDM add-on.

- The subtitles object is ignoring the File’s extension that I setting (srt)

Yes, FDM ignores this field when creating a file. However, we can treat it as a bug and fix it for you.

- Thumbnails don't show in FDM download windows

I can try to dig into it, but I'll need the following from you:
1) Your plugin.
2) Steps on how to reproduce the issue (including URL).

I haven't published the plugin on Github yet but I need to know how to get the signature for updates

For now we do not have any dedicated architecture for this, and you'll have to send your add-on to our support, or directly to me with the request to sign your add-on.

I think we've fixed it. I can give you a new FDM version with the fix so you can test it if you want to.

Hi Alex, thanks for your quick response!

I already have the plugin code on Github: https://github.com/Spheres-cu/picta-fdm

To reproduce the issue it is necessary to have an account on http://www.picta.cu , but for the issue of showing thumbnails with the Elephant plugin you could try with a YouTube video

As well as to test the subtitle extensions with Elephant you could also do it.

I already sent the request email for the digital signature of the plugin yesterday.

That would be great!
How can I get this new version?
