I Added-on HDS Link detector to help download from on line player BUT can't figure how to use

more options

I was told that HDS Link detector would help me download a video clip for an "on-line Player", since the other user tested it. I successfully installed HDS link detector as an "add-on". The logo icon appeared at the bottom of the Mozilla browser window which is red & reads "enabled", when clicked. I went to the site where I can play/view the video clip, but there is no visible way I can use the HDS Link detector to download the clip, as others have done with HDS Link detector. I would like to know if there are instructions I can use to help in using the HDS in downloading? Thank you.

Take a look at this Google search for information about that add-on and how to use it.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hds-link-detector/

This add-on automatically detects the HDS videos being played in browser and generates proper command line required for downloading videos with AdobeHDS.php script.

Developer information is here - https://github.com/K-S-V/Scripts/wiki - and information about installing PHP.
