Description

Integrates the browser with JDownloader either by interrupting the built-in download manager or from right-click context menu

This extension enables connectivity between your browser and JDownloader, a Java-based download manager.

The extension offers two modes of operation:
1. It allows you to send downloading jobs directly from the right-click context menu.
2. It can interrupt the built-in download manager and redirect the requests to JDownloader.

By default, the interruption mode is inactive. Click the action button (toolbar button) once to activate it. To turn off the interruption mode, click the action button again?the interruption mode can help you when a website does not provide direct download links.

Native Integration:
For this extension to communicate with JDownloader and execute native commands, a native client is required. The instructions for installing this NodeJS native client are provided when you use the extension for the first time. Additionally, please note that this extension only connects your browser to the JDownloader, so you must have the JDownloader application installed on your operating system for the extension to work.

You can review the code of the native client at:
https://github.com/belaviyo/native-client/releases.
A brief video tutorial on installing and using the native client is available at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSnZp2wflTc

It is important to mention that this extension uses JDownloader's local server to send downloading jobs to the external downloader. The extension can work correctly without installing the native client as long as JDownloader is running in the background. The native client is only necessary to start the downloader when the server is not present.

Logs:

To all of the people complaining about how this is complicated...clearly you have not used JDownloader. The only reason to use this is for JDownloader. If you don't need the functionality of JDownloader, I highly recommend you use something else. If you don't know if you need the functionality of JDownloader, you probably don't. Here is how I use it: I can copy a link URL to a site that contains a list of links to other (paid) download sites with the file (mediafire, rapidupload, etc). I have JDownloader configured with credentials to my debrid service. This service gives me access to ~20 paid download sites (this is configured in JDownloader). When I paste a link, JDownloader will crawl that page, extract any download links on subpages, and only add the urls for the services I have access to. If you think this extension is complicated, you aren't ready for JDownloader. Try something like Downie.
