Vodman enables you to save videos from popular sites such as Youtube or Twitch to your device. 

Simply copy the URL of the VOD to the clipboard. Then, open Vodman and use the pull down menu to start the download. 

Decided you didn't want a VOD after all? No problem, cancel the download and optionally delete the file.

Vodman uses youtube-dl and can download from any supported site.

The sources are available on GitHub, translations on Transifex.

I am guessing you installed the app via storeman? There seems to be an issue which causes not the latest version of the app to get installed but the outdated service components. 

Please uninstall all vodman related components from the command line as storeman leaves some of them installed. 

[root@Sailfish nemo]# rpm -qa | grep vodman 
libvodman-1.0.10-1.armv7hl
vodman-service-1.0.10-1.armv7hl
[root@Sailfish nemo]# rpm -e vodman-service-1.0.10-1.armv7hl
[root@Sailfish nemo]# rpm -e libvodman-1.0.10-1.armv7hl

Repeat the 'rpm -e' command for anything vodman you find. Once you are done you can try to install the app from Jollla store or try to use storeman again. I have removed the legacy versions of the application, after a refresh it should install fine from storeman.

Cheers,

J

Thanks!, after installation and testing, I am met with an error when selecting "Download from clipboard";
"Download failed Vodman service not available"

Also, on the first page where we see the message; "No downloads at present. Copy 'an' URL ...", would be better if it read as "Copy 'a' URL........."  :)

Thank you for testing the app.

Please try again with version 1.0.3. It should fix the issue with vodman-service not starting due to a botched library import.
