Youtube download script
 

Hey guys.

I love this script on my Windows XP computer.


javascript:(function() {
function get_filetype(fmt_id) {
switch(fmt_id) {
case '5':
case '34':
case '35':
return 'FLV';
case '18':
case '22':
case '37':
case '38':
return 'MP4';
default:
return 'unknown';
}
}
function get_video_url(fmt_url_map, chosen_fmt_id) {
fmt_url_map=fmt_url_map.substring(fmt_url_map.inde xOf(chosen_fmt_id+'|')+chosen_fmt_id.length+1);
if(fmt_url_map.indexOf(',')!==-1) {
return fmt_url_map.substring(0, fmt_url_map.indexOf(','));
} else {
return fmt_url_map;
}
}
(function main() {
var args=yt.getConfig('PLAYER_CONFIG')['args'];
var fmt_quality_list='';
var chosen_fmt_id=0;
var fmt_info=args['fmt_list'].split(',');
var fmt_resolution='';
var avail_fmt_ids=new Array(fmt_info.length);
for(var i in fmt_info) {
avail_fmt_ids[i]=fmt_info[i].split('/')[0];
fmt_resolution=fmt_info[i].split('/')[1];
fmt_quality_list+=(avail_fmt_ids[i]+' = '+fmt_resolution+' ('+get_filetype(avail_fmt_ids[i])+')\n');
}
loop: while(true) {
chosen_fmt_id=prompt('Please enter a format id.\n'+fmt_quality_list, avail_fmt_ids[0]);
if(chosen_fmt_id===null) {
return;
}
for(var i in avail_fmt_ids) {
if(chosen_fmt_id===avail_fmt_ids[i]) {
break loop;
}
}
}
window.open(get_video_url(args['fmt_url_map'], chosen_fmt_id)+'&title='+document.getElementsByNam e('title')[0].content);
}());
}());


Just go to a Youtube video and simply copy and paste that in the address bar. :)

So yeah, is there any way to inject this into Tear or MicroB?

I'm really hoping for a response on this. :)

Re: Youtube download script
 

What I posted is written in Javascript and not Java, correct?

So in theory, it should work, yes?

Has anyone tried this just once on a Youtube video using their Windows computer?

Re: Youtube download script
 

I haven't tried it, but at first blush it looks like a bookmarklet. I would create a bookmark and paste that whole thing (sans spaces and line feeds) into the bookmark URL. Then, pull up your video and then select the bookmark.

Re: Youtube download script
 

You really, really, really should just try this on a computer.

I think it would give you happy giggles! :)

Anyway, I tried pasting that script in the browser address bar thingy in both MicroB and Tear but it appears that it's too big for both of them to handle.

But still, thanks for the response buurmas! :)

*Testing*

Hmmmmmmmm....

EDIT:

Okay, if you download the attachment, open it with Notepad, Select all, copy then paste it into a Youtube video, it works.

I'm not sure why the other ones that were posted don't seem to do anything.

Re: Youtube download script
 

Here's the simplest way to download youtube videos on your PC

To download any video on youtube, go to that url and simply replace y from youtube to 3 ..

eg. video of Hello by Lionel Richie is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDZcqBgCS74

to download that video go to address bar and type
http://www.3outube.com/watch?v=PDZcqBgCS74

you shall get options to download the video in different formats.

Enjoy !
Note: Download option won't be available for copyright videos !

Re: Youtube download script
 

^ Are you completely sure about this?

It just times out on my end.

I used Firefox and Explorer, both of them just give me a problem loading page, even with your link you provided.

Is there a special plug-in or something required for this?

Re: Youtube download script
 

Okay. So it looks like both the 640x360 .flv and .mp4 is too much for the older tablet.

Anyway, here's probably the best script for us unless someone knows of something better.

Just copy and paste this in your browser on a Youtube page.


javascript:isIE=/*@cc_on!@*/false;isIE ? swfHTML=document.getElementById('movie_player').ge tElementsByTagName('param')[1].value:swfHTML=document.getElementById("movie_play er").getAttribute("flashvars");w=swfHTML.split("&" );for(i=0;i<=w.length-1;i++)if(w[i].split("=")[0] == "fmt_url_map"){links=unescape(w[i].split("=")[1]);break;}abc = links.split(",");for(i=0;i<=abc.length-1;i++){fmt=abc[i].split("|")[0];if(fmt==5){url = abc[i].split("|")[1] + '&title=' + (((document.title.replace('#',' ')).replace('@',' ')).replace('*',' ')).replace('|',' ');window.location.href = url;}}


Post any feedback if bored. :)

Re: Youtube download script
 

Poopers.

I think posting in this forum changes some of the spacing or coding.

Anyway, this should work.

Re: Youtube download script
 

For anyone that's interested, download, open, select all and copy the file from the previous post.

In MicroB, add a new bookmark and paste the junk.

Now, when you go to a YouTube video, stop the web page immediately then click on the bookmark you just created.

Re: Youtube download script
 

works also on my N900 :)

Re: Youtube download script
 

I use the free youtube downloader, which works well.

Re: Youtube download script
 

i use...cutetube?

Re: Youtube download script
 

New script to bookmark can be found here.
http://unlockforus.blogspot.com/2008...videos-in.html

It's the top one highlighted in green.

Re: Youtube download script
 

@Addison: The URL does not work.

Please, could you give a correct link. I will be very grateful to you.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Re: Youtube download script
 

Okay, that link is now fixed. :)

Re: Youtube download script
 

Thanks, Addison.

But that's not what I need. I really need the appropiate download script to work on mytube again.

Re: Youtube download script
 

Yeah, I simply gave up on Mytube, it was too much of a pain for me.

Anyway, this way is so much easier, but then again, I only want to download videos that are suggested on message forums.

I'm not one to use the whole search feature thingy in Mytube to find videos on my own.

Sorry about that.

Re: Youtube download script
 

Did you download the latest version of the youtube-dl script linked to from the mytube thread?

Re: Youtube download script
 

Yes. But it seems to do nothing. No percent, no download, no play at all...

Re: Youtube download script
 

the newest script does not show percentage ... only the spinning bar.
once the bar stops spinning the download is complete.
if you are not getting the magic spinning bar make sure that the string in mytube settings ( preferences - more - youtube-dl) reads "youtube-dl-x -f 5 -o %d -- %s" (minus the quotes)

good luck

Re: Youtube download script
 

Wow. My script does nothing at all. And I think the settings are right.

Mine is same as yours?? Could someone post here the magic script.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Youtube download script
 

the script I am using is from this post:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=418

and the placement and chmod instructions from this post:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=410

you may need the getpass.py script. instructions can be found here:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=405435&postcount=5

Re: Youtube download script
 

Thanks.

But I'm unable to download any file from there. I just can see the text of the script.

Thanks again. I had the previous script on MyDocuments folder to avoid permissions troubles. I think this way isn't neccesary the chmod thing, right?

Again thanks. I have already the getpass script because without it even the previous script won't work.

I will try again and let you know.

Best regards.

Re: Youtube download script
 

Right-click the link and save-as. If you are downloading on tablet then long press on the link might bring up save-as, not sure. Or you can use
from a terminal on the tablet. Replace "wget" with "maemo-mini-curl" if you haven't installed it.


Doesn't matter where the file is located, the chmod allows it to be executed without explicitly passing it to the python interpreter.

Re: Youtube download script
 

Thank you all.

Yesterday I was able to get mytube working again. But, IMHO, when the old script was perfect this new one is just very good.
