FG not saving ".flv" File Extension

Post by RgaDawg »

Great Add-On, shouldn't be complaining, but can't seem to get FlashGot to save File Name with the ".flv" extension. No biggie, I just have to manually rename the file. Using FireFox, default Downloader. YouTube site.

If by "default downloader" you mean the built-in, on Youtube it should automatically rename the file even extrapolating a meaningful name from page title and other elements.
Could you show me some example pages where it fails?

Using Win7 x64, FF 3.6.3, FG 1.2.1.18

For example
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9mpDAJO ... MspZNmKdfc

Right Click FG icon lower right of browser, and get popup with different resolution files, types

No *.flv file extensions listed for the FLV files
one *.mp4 is listed with file extension

I have quite a few extensions installed in FF. Thought maybe one was messing with the Title,
but even with them disabled, FG doesn't seem to want to include the *.flv file extension with
the file name ...

Again, great add on, thanks for making it
