Those sites have protections against downloading videos from their site so unless you can find a downloader that works for them you can only watch them online. Did you search online for downloader that works for those sites besides Addons? Codecs don't download videos only play them if they are the right extensions to play them. Those here can't give recommendations to what apps or software to use that is something you have to search online and decide which works for you.

What worked yesterday doesn't mean it works now. Those site are changing their site codes to block such software from working. It's up to the user themselves to find one that works.
