The spec file needs some fixin' for the app to actually be packaged and I'm _NOT_ a packager so I'll leave this to whoever that is interested in packaging this.

Can you please clarify the relationship between the two applications mentioned in the bug title:
- Video Downloadhelper [this request]
- Video DownloadHelper [Firefox addon]
If the second is available & effective, what is the reason for the first?

Well, when you in Firefox want to enable the Video Downloadhelper addon you have to move some files in order for it to be installed.

This rpm helps a lazy user to get it done automatically.

Thank you; subtle!

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might, if there are no license or other legal issues, want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

You Kristoffer might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager
