The downloader plugin for OMV is pretty garbage
Thanks. I wrote it for myself and just happen to share. It was meant to be super simple and does exactly what I want. Quite sure it downloads too...
the whole no progress shown? whats up with that?
Since I wrote it for myself, I just add files and go do something else. I don't care about progress other than knowing when it is done. There are lots of downloader programs out there (like jdownloader as you found) that are much more advanced if you need that feature.
has anyone had any experience with this?
Not sure about that exact image but lots of people use jdownloader in a docker on this forum.
I use such container and have made small contributions. I definitely recommend it. Let me know if you have any issues.
is it just me or does it not show the right filezise on the web gui?
If the filename wasn't changed by youtube-dl, the filesize is what php is getting from the OS. I might look different because of translation of unit sizes. If it says n/a, that is because the file extension was changed by youtube-dl. If the filename isn't exact, I can't get a real file size and I don't want to try and guess which file it is.
nd mine's showing the file format as mp4
It shows whatever you select when you created the download. If the program you are using changes the extension, then it will not update. I think it dumb that the plugin specifically asks for an extension but sometimes youtube-dl will give you something else (usually caused by not having ffmpeg installed).
what made you add aria2 support?
Someone along the way in the last 7-8 years asked for it. I never use it.

I'm liking it so far, its of course slow on my Pi but that's expected. For someone who hasn't done a lot with docker and zero with cockpit/portainer like me it was a bit much at first. But after everything and realising the container was restarting and not shutting down, it's going alright.
Is there a way to manage the containered jdownloader directly instead of via the MyJdownloader site? maybe it's own web GUI?
No, you must use MyJdownloader site.
If you find the site slow and unresponsive, take a look at Direct Connection mode, which makes a big difference. Everything is documented in the Github main page, which I have rewritten because it was a mess.
Also note that Jdownloader is made with Java so it's not fast by design
