You're on the wrong page. Click on the video and copy the url in the url bar or right click on the video and save the link it points to. Use that url instead then. What you showed, is not the actual video page, even though there is a play button.

[ctshh]

I see - thank you very much for your help!

[kayb94]

no problem

[rbrito]

This can be closed, then, right?

[ctshh]

yes, please. And thanks again!

@ctshh You can close it for yourself, would be nice if you did this.

[ctshh]

Of course, sorry.
And, again, thank you for a very (very very) cool tool.
