Porndig pages it reads

Porndig video addresses follow the shape /videos/<id>/<slug>.html, an id segment followed by a slug for the title, and those are the only pages Porndig Video Downloader acts on. Homepage sections, category listings and search results are left alone.

On those pages the video isn't part of the page's own markup. It plays inside an embedded iframe, a nested player that stands between you and the media file, so right-clicking or the usual save tricks find nothing to grab. Rather than sending you hunting through network inspectors or copying hidden URLs to the clipboard, the extension watches the player start up and records the stream as soon as it can be reached.

Capture and conversion

Porndig's player can deliver either an M3U8 playlist (HLS) or a direct MP4 file, and the extension picks up both. Downloads are converted to MP4 regardless of how they arrived, so the file opens on nearly any device or media player and needs no extra software. When several quality variants are available, the popup lists them and you choose.

Detection, conversion and saving all run inside your browser. Nothing is passed to an outside service, which is also why the extension keeps working in incognito or private windows. It stays idle on every site except recognised Porndig video pages, keeping its footprint small, and the files themselves are written by the browser's own download engine rather than a helper program.

Getting a file

1. Install the extension from the project's GitHub releases.
2. Open a Porndig video page with the URL shape above and let it load completely.
3. Start playback. The detection engine only activates once the video is running.
4. Click the toolbar icon. The popup scans the page and, once it's done, shows each available stream with its own download button.
5. Choose a quality and click once to start the download.
6. Your browser's download manager saves the MP4, and you can store it wherever you like on your device.

Things that affect a download

• Keep the tab open and active until the file has finished. Closing it or browsing elsewhere in that tab cuts the download off.
• Downloads run one at a time; the next can start as soon as the current one completes.
• A steady internet connection is needed for the whole transfer.
• Porndig's player varies between videos. Ones with a non-standard setup or extra protection may not be detected.
• Updates to Porndig's player or site can change how well the extension works.
• An empty popup normally means the player hasn't initialised: start the video and confirm the address matches the pattern.

Activation and fair use

The extension is activated by signing in with a one-time code sent to your email. Only save videos you own or have clear permission to download.

FAQ

Does it handle all of the video pages on Porndig?

Pages built on the /videos/<id>/<slug>.html format are. Category listings, search results and homepage sections fall outside what it handles.

Can I close the tab while the video is downloading?

No. The page has to remain open and active until the file finishes; closing the tab or navigating away interrupts it.

Is there a way to queue several Porndig videos at once?

Not simultaneously. For reliability it processes a single download at a time, and you can start the next one the moment the current one completes.

Will it run in a private or incognito window?

Yes. Spotting the stream, converting it and saving the file all happen locally in the browser, and no data goes to outside services.

My download finished but won't play, or the button does nothing. What can I do?

Reload the page and download again from the beginning; if the file still won't play, the stream may have expired or been corrupted at the source. When clicking download has no effect, look at your browser's download settings, since some make extensions ask before saving, and check your free disk space.
