How it works
Five stages, no magic. Every step is visible in the interface.
1. Source detection
The URL is parsed and matched against a known host list. Unknown hosts are rejected immediately instead of failing silently later.
2. Metadata lookup
A server function calls the platform's public metadata endpoint and normalizes the response into a single shape: title, author, thumbnail, duration and available formats.
3. Options page
The downloader page renders only what the source actually exposes. Trim appears when a real duration exists; quality choices come from the reported formats.
4. Job configuration
Range, media type, quality, container and enhancement are packaged into a job. Signed-in users get the job stored in private history.
5. Processing
The configured job is handed to an authorized media-processing provider. Until a provider key is configured, Vidnexo says so plainly rather than faking a download.
