  The extension now matches host "app.plex.tv" and path "/web/index.html" to try and not be in your face on pages that have nothing to do with Plex.
- v0.7
  Added path match "desktop" because the host app.plex.tv isn't using the same path as the self hosted version.

  The downloads are now queued in a background script so they will continue even if the active tab is changed. Also rewriting file/pathnames to not conflict with Windows path restrictions.

It stopped working complete -- giving me the mesage : "Error while fetching album contents."

Jumping jeebuz, why didn't Plex bother with a Select All > Download function? But this extension saved my butt, seriously. We had 131 childhood pics selected into a Playlist/Collection, and no way to bulk download them to print for a presentation/ceremony. This add-on got them in less than a MINUTE. I only used this for photos, so no word on other media types. The tool auto-generated its own sub-folder in the Downloads area, so that was not too terrible, as opposed to asking for the destination folder. That might make a good idea suggestion for later. Actual folder used: C:\Users\{current_user}\Downloads\Plex downloads\Wolfgang Eagle Ceremony Collection\ BOOM!

This extension used to work for me for downloading music playlists, but has gotten increasingly buggy over time. As other reviews have noted, the 'Download Selected' option is greyed out and does not work at all. When downloading whole playlists, the extension used to queue up several downloads simultaneously, but now only goes one track at a time, making everything considerably slower. Recently, the sequence of downloads now completely stops if you click away to any other Chrome tab or window, so this has made the extension a total pain for me. If you're in the middle of downloading a playlist of 100+ songs and then switch Chrome tabs, the extension stops adding tracks to the download queue and you won't be able to pick up where it left off because 'Download Selected' doesn't work. You'll either need to manually download the rest individually, or begin the whole process again while being unable to use Chrome for other browsing while 'Download All' does its thing. Please fix this!
