It was working fine until yesterday. But now it doesn't work.

This extension is good for Playlists and videos with length of 4 or 5 minutes but IT HAVE A BIG PROBLEM with videos (music mix in one video) with length of 30 minutes or bigger. Please developer of this extension, come with an update with a fix for this problem.
