The Small Church Music website was founded in the year 2006 by Clyde McLennan (1941-2022) an ordained Baptist Pastor. For 35 years, he served in smaller churches across New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. On some occasions he was also the church musician.

As a church organist, Clyde recognized it was often hard to find suitable musicians to accompany congregational singing, particularly in small churches, home groups, aged care facilities. etc. So he used his talents as a computer programmer and musician to create the Small Church Music website.

During retirement, Clyde recorded almost 15,000 hymns and songs that could be downloaded free to accompany congregational singing. He received requests to record hymns from across the globe and emails of support for this ministry from tiny churches to soldiers in war zones, and people isolating during COVID lockdowns.

Site Upgrade

TMJ Software worked with Clyde and hosted this website for him for several years prior to his passing. Clyde asked me to continue it in his absence. Clyde’s focus was to provide these recordings at no cost and that will continue as it always has. However, there will be two changes over the near to midterm.

To better manage access to the site, a requirement to create an account on the site will be implemented. Once this is done, you’ll be able to log-in on the site and download freely as you always have.

The second change will be a redesign and restructure of the site. Since the site has many pages this won’t happen all at once but will be implement over time.

Video [better] Downloader Professional Plus: Mpmux Firefox Work

Standard browser extensions struggle with modern web streaming because platforms rarely host videos as basic, standalone .mp4 or .webm files anymore. Instead, they use HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) or Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH). These protocols split a video into hundreds of tiny, encrypted, or sequential transport stream ( .ts ) fragments.

Based on instructions for installing similar extensions, here is the general process for installing a .xpi (Firefox) or .crx (Chrome) file: video downloader professional plus mpmux firefox work

Within seconds, VDPP’s popup listed not just one video, but all streams: low-bitrate, medium, high, and audio-only tracks. Aris selected the 4K variant. But VDPP doesn’t download blindly—it hands off a to the next stage. To fix the issue, it helps to understand

To fix the issue, it helps to understand how these two tools interact. Most modern video platforms do not stream a single video file. Instead, they split the media into two streams: one for high-definition video and one for high-quality audio. subtitle track separately).

The combination of Firefox, Video Downloader Professional Plus, and mpmux represents a sophisticated answer to the ephemeral nature of online media. Firefox provides the open inspection layer, the extension handles intelligent capture, and mpmux solves the final assembly problem. Together, they empower users to transition from passive streamers to active digital archivists—provided they operate within legal and ethical boundaries. As streaming continues to fragment across dozens of platforms, such modular, user-controlled toolchains will only grow in relevance. The future of media ownership may not lie in stores or subscriptions, but in well-muxed MKV files stored on personal drives.

At its core, is a browser extension designed to detect and download multimedia content from virtually any webpage. Unlike basic tools that only grab simple MP4 files, this "Plus" version is engineered to handle modern streaming technologies such as HLS and m3u8, which break videos into hundreds of tiny fragments to prevent downloading.

However, while this extension is excellent at locating and downloading the raw chunks of a video, it often falls short in one critical area: final assembly. Many modern streams are delivered as hundreds of tiny segments (video track, audio track, subtitle track separately). Simply downloading these fragments leaves the user with a folder of unusable parts. This is where the third component becomes essential.
