get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

Hello.

I can't seem to get get_flash_videos to work with any YouTube video on my new stable Debian box. Here is an example:

$ get_flash_videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arghq2XmijY
Downloading http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arghq2XmijY
Using method 'youtube' for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arghq2XmijY
Unable to find video URL
YouTube:


$ get_flash_videos --version
get_flash_videos version 1.24 (http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/)


Did I miss something? Thank you in advance. :)

I cant get it to work either. I would recommend using my YouTube bookmarklet.

svnpenn.github.com/youtube

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

Hmm, it doesn't seem to work in Mozilla's SeaMonkey web browser. :(

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

I just tested it with SeaMonkey on Windows and it is working.

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

Weird. Maybe I am doing it wrong. I go to a YouTube video and click on your bookmarklet in my toolbar. Does it matter what version (2.0.14) I have and the addons/extensions (FlashBlock, AdBlock Plus, etc.)?

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

A bookmarklet is javascript so if you have anything blocking javascript you will need to deal with that.

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

Weird. I use TinyURL, DeSlide, etc. bookmarklets without any problems.

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

The source code is available at
github.com/svnpenn/youtube

Beyond that Im not sure what more I can do for you.

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

Thanks anyways! I use third party downloaders like Orbit Downloader, (c)clive, get_flash_videos, etc. for YouTube videos.

FYI from error console when I click on your bookmarklet:
Error: player.insertAdjacentHTML is not a function
Source file: http://svnpenn.github.com/youtube/yt.js
Line: 54

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

I rewrote the code to use innerHTML instead of insertAdjacentHTML.
You should try the bookmarklet again, you might need to clear your Cache first so that the bookmarklet uses the new code.

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

Awesome, it worked! OK a question: Does it not work with embedded YouTube videos? Also, I assume YouTube has to be streaming and not blocked by FlashBlock.

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

When you watch a video on YouTube, the URLs for every quality of video are actually already there, just hidden in the page source. All this bookmarklet does is parse out those URLs.

It will not work with embedded videos and there are no plans for that. As long as the Flash element is not removed by some plugin the bookmarklet will work.

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

Ah, is there a way to have your bookmarklets reveal the URLs so I can copy and paste into a download manager before the downloads? Are you planning to do this for other video hosts like Vimeo, DailyMotion, etc.?

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

You can just right click any link and choose "Copy Link Location".

I only made this bookmarklet so that my brother could transfer some videos to a new YouTube account. I might look at adding Vimeo tomorrow but no guarantees.

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

Ah, I didn't know that. Take your time. :)

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

I created a new repository, for both YouTube and Vimeo bookmarklets.

svnpenn.github.com/bm

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

Hmm, it didn't work on http://vimeo.com/35751003 when I tried it. I got this in my error console after a few seconds after I pressed your bookmarklet:

Error: x is undefined
Source file: http://svnpenn.github.com/bm/vimeo.js
Line: 11


Later on, is it possible to combine all video hosts with a single bookmarklet?

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

I fixed the XMLHttpRequest so it should work now. Make sure to clear Cache before retrying.

At this point I have no desire to combine the bookmarklets.

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

Hmm, it doesn't offer me downloads and no errors in its console. Yes, I deleted my caches and restart SM.

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

I tested it using Windows SeaMonkey 2.0.14 and it is working.

Oooh, I missed that. I had my web browser 800 pixels wide. I was expecting it to be like your YouTube results. I think you need to move vimeo's results and bigger like YouTube's.

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

I moved the links more to the left. As always clear Cache before retrying.

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

That's better. Maybe maybe that font size bigger? ;)

Re: get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

 

Now, bigger font.

Enjoy :)
