นี่คือเวอร์ชันของสคริปต์นี้ที่โค้ดมีการอัปเดต แสดงเวอร์ชันทั้งหมด

  • v1.5.2 01-12-2024

    Changelog:

    • Make regexing the Qualities and Formats from the raw HTML a backup, for if the variables are out of sync, so if they are in sync it will be able to access them immediately bypassing the loading.
    • Make the initial Quality and Format fetching "Loading..." consistent.
  • v1.5.1 26-11-2024

    Changelog:

    • Disable innate download button until qualities and formats are loaded.
  • v1.5.0 26-11-2024

    Changelog:

    • Regex to extract Formats and Qualities from Raw HTML, so to not rely on static YouTube variables and require a refresh every time.
    • Code optimization
    • Remove unnecessary uses of "unsafeWindow"
  • v1.4.3 25-11-2024

    Changelog

    • Darkmode for Quality selection box.
    • Make download button match native YouTube one more.
  • v1.4.2 16-11-2024

    Changelog:

    • Minor Bug fixes, and better error catching.
  • v1.4.1 05-11-2024

    Changelog:

    • Click the overflow menu button before removing overflow download button, to make sure it's loaded.
  • v1.4.0 28-10-2024

    Changelog

    • Use new instance list (this one is worse, but apparently I'm only allowed to use instances that give "consent". Read below.)
    • Navigate to download URL in new tab for efficiency, and better transparency.
    • GM.xmlHttpRequest on more requests, in case they use CORS.
    • Webm default format, it's better, and supports more things.
    • Check if turnstile is enabled for the instance before using.
    • Navigate to cobalt.tools, if can't find public API instance.
    • Some other stuff I probably forgot.

    Rant

    So previously I was using my own version of Kwiat's Cobalt Instances list, with the ones he removed. But then they contacted me on their Discord, asking me to take it down, because apparently they don't want me using instances that don't give explicit "consent". Which in my opinion is stupid, if you have something publicly accessible on the internet with no security (I use V10 API now, so it's very easy to add such security), then in my opinion is open for anyone to use. That's like saying since YouTube did not say I can use their website, then I can't. But whatever, so you are likely often going to not be able to download directly, and will be redirected to cobalt.tools. Theirs not much I can do, I'm afraid if I just ignored them, that they'd block me, you can host your own instance list and change the URL to yours (you can Ctrl + Find for the comment "Change this URL to change what instance list is used."), but note I am not responsible if you use instances without consent from the owner. I have completely lost motivation to keep maintaining this because of this, so this will likely be the last update, I'm sorry, but mabye if the Cobalt devs decide to host their own free open API (Like they have been doing since the start up until V10), then mabye I'll reconsider, but until then...

  • v1.0 14-10-2024

    Biggest Update Yet!

    Changelog:

    • Reworked quality fetching, much more reliable, uses built in YT variables now, however this does mean that you'll have to reload to use since the variables don't update on page change, if anyone's got a better workaround for this please LMK.
    • Fetches a V7 API Cobalt public instance from here, because the official V7 API instance is going to shut down soon.
    • Reworked Cobalt API request, should get right quality and such now.
    • Dynamically gets formats now in the same way it gets qualities, should only show ones that Cobalt will actually take.
    • Optimizations.
