## Description

This plugin adds a simple redirect box to any post, page or widget area. Visitors
paste a video link, pick Video or Audio, and are redirected to the external service
social-media-downloader.com, where the download starts automatically — the pasted
link is carried over, so they don’t have to paste it twice.

**This plugin does not download anything itself.** No downloads happen on your WordPress
server. It is a pure redirect: zero JavaScript, no database tables, no settings,
nothing stored. All processing happens on social-media-downloader.com, which is 
operated by the plugin author.

#### Usage

Add the shortcode anywhere (post, page, or a Shortcode block):

    ```
    [smdrb_download_box]
    ```

Options:

 * `[smdrb_download_box lang="de"]` — open the German site (also: es, fr, pt; empty
   = English).
 * `[smdrb_download_box button="Get video" placeholder="Drop your link here"]` —
   custom texts.
 * `[smdrb_download_box audio="no"]` — hide the Video/Audio picker.
 * `[smdrb_download_box target="_self"]` — open in the same tab instead of a new
   one.
 * `[smdrb_download_box type="button" button="Open Downloader"]` — just a button
   linking to the site, no input field.

Developers can change the destination with the `smdrb_base_url` filter.

#### External service

This plugin sends visitors (and the link they paste) to https://social-media-downloader.
com, a free web-based video downloader operated by the plugin author. No data is
sent anywhere until the visitor themselves clicks the Download button.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin zip via Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin, or copy the folder to`/
    wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate it.
 3. Put `[smdrb_download_box]` in any post or page.

## FAQ

### Does this download videos on my server?
