Hi,

First issue :

Sorry if I'm wrong, but I would like to know if I have to do something from my side to have the button to download directly from youtube short ?

The button appears with links "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxx" but not with links like "https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xxxxxxxxxxx".

The second issue :

I need also sometimes to refresh (F5) the page with link like "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxx" because the button doesn't appear.

Extensions :

TubeArchivist Companion 0.2.0 with chromium (last version)

Thanks

Looks like YT moved some things around, breaking our selector. Anybody wants to look into this?

OK, v0.2.2 adds download buttons to shorts links while browsing, your search results or subscription page. Adding button to the /shorts/ pages directly is on the roadmap and will happen at some point in the future.
