Tried Eagleget.

File download is fine.

Media download is not fine.
Internet Explorer - YouTube - Download bar didn't appear... atleast for few videos I tried.
Chrome - Previous Download bar was better & easy... current extension I dont like it.

It shows many media formats/duplicate formats.
Other downloaders gives 480p format. EG needs FFmpeg for 480p & other videos only to merge audio but didn't worked for me... i.e didn't merge but downloaded seperate video & audio file everytime I tried.

It would be good to have an option to show less/selected formats or not show videos only formats, etc...

Well we need to clarify that the monitoring feature of EagleGet is focused on direct downloads (if you click the link which Eagleget must popup), so for IE that extension is work but for some reasons you need to install separately or use manual media grabber.

I have tried EG previously on YouTube & download bar use to appear with both IE & Chrome.
Since EG updates are often I think they have changed something like Chrome shows EG icon now next to address bar & on YouTube if the video is playing Chrome icon shows available formats... this new extension works on Chrome but I preferred old download bar on the video itself.
On IE I dont know if download bar function is not available now & no icon like in Chrome too.

You have to download FFMpeg from here (not the whole installer from website) and then set the path to the executable as shown.

The duplicate formats (as you mentioned) for the same quality consists of videos in different formats encoded in Youtube. So it's not actually duplicate formats.

It works fine for me on IE, although it doesn't support Microsoft Edge browser (if yo're using Win10). Make sure that in the Manage add-on section EagleGet is enabled.

The old download bar was removed on Chrome because many users reported that the floating download bar was actually preventing them from watching the video's without distractions. I personally feel the extension model to download videos' is much better. Isn't that how most extensions now show the status, like uBlock (how many ads are blocked) and the like

For FFmpeg I did the same as you have mentioned.

For duplicates - Do you mean 720p (Video Dash MP4) & 1280*720 (Video Dash MP4) are not duplicates?

Add-on was enabled but no download bar on YouTube in IE.

I didn't like the new EG extension model in Chrome. I personally prefer the download bar compared to the new model.

Here is the download bar for me on Win 10 and IE 11. Try re-installing EagleGet making sure you re-set the preferences this time in one of the wizard windows during installation.

I haven't got any such duplicates, may be you are using an older add-on version. Are you using EagleGet 3.8 addon version in Firefox.

@jackuars,

I tried EG 2 times & both the times didn't get the download bar in YouTube on IE. Had tried 8-10 videos. Could be that download bar doesn't appear on all the videos... does it appears on all the videos for you?

What is the EG addon version in IE on Win 10 for you?

I will try 1 more time & see....
