Plugin Management
Plugins improve resource detection and downloading for specific sites. Some official plugins are included with the app, and community plugins can be installed separately.
Install plugins
Open Plugins to install from the extension store or select a local ZIP file.
Use search and sorting to find plugins to install. Before installing, check that the developer, requested domains, and permissions fit the plugin's purpose. Community plugins are provided by third parties and are not necessarily security-reviewed by the project.
Enable and configure
- A disabled plugin stops processing new resources.
- Some plugins provide settings such as quality or capture scope.
- After changing settings, save or reload as instructed on the page.
- Plugin debug logging is off by default. If a plugin offers Enable logging, turn it on for troubleshooting and off when finished.
Update and uninstall
Plugin cards show a notice when an update is available. The extension store lists updatable plugins first when using the default order.
If an update fails, retry or roll back to the previous version. Uninstalling a plugin does not delete downloaded files.
Troubleshoot a plugin
Check the following in order:
- Is the plugin enabled?
- Does its card show an error?
- Have you reopened the page so that it generates new requests?
- Are the plugin settings correct?
If the issue persists, open an issue in the plugin's GitHub repository with the app version, plugin version, reproduction steps, and error message. Remove private information such as cookies and account details before submitting.
To create plugins, see the plugin developer guide.
Business operations
When a plugin provides an operation, use its resource-row button, such as Capture and download. Open the matching webpage and sign in if needed; multiple matches open a page picker. Capture progress and errors appear in the resource list, while download and merge progress appear in the task center.
To enter parameters, submit batches or view history, expand Advanced operations on the plugin card and select an operation. You can also enable automation there; see CLI and MCP for setup.
