Description from store
This extension adds a download icon to the Plex web interface for all media, including media from a shared library. Note that this only works on video media and not on music or other media, although the icon may still appear.
This is a wrapper/injector for Pip Longrun's code: https://piplong.run/plxdwnld/.

- Worked well for me. I had to open up a new tab to plex.tv to get it to work. And edit the site settings to allow for insecure content for that site since the shared server wasn't using https.

- Does NOT work with Shared servers, only servers you run yourself. Clicking the button on Shared media does nothing at all.

- Works great!
- Colin Beskeen
- This used to work great, but now I get a "403 Forbidden" on some plex servers. I'm not sure what changed and it doesn't effect all servers. Anyone else seeing this?
- Robert Hensley
- Works just as intended!
- Tommy Kammerer
- I normally dont write reviews, but this worked exactly how I wanted it that I had to leave a review! Great job dev! Doesnt work with Plex (Crackle) added movies and shows though, I didnt expect it to, but in case someone else was wondering.
- Thomas Fuchs
- Works great, be sure sure to reload plex.tv if you have it open already and don't see download buttons.
- Balli
- works like charm.

- No clue what these others are on about as it works perfectly! Refreshed my plex.tv web interface and the button was starring me in the face. I clicked it and it downloaded the file direct from my server. Keep up the good work!
