yes, the attach thing can get overlooked easily...it's very subtle

disrupted ... thanks for adding Grab-Video. I have been having pretty good luck with it in downloading Youtube videos ... easy to use. However, with Youtube these days, what works today may not work tomorrow. If I remember several months back, when the Youtube problems were starting, Matt took the non-working links out and "temporary" made that download with Grab-Video only till the Youtube thing got figured out. I also had never heard of Grab-Video till he added it. Thanks again.

Even after I went into this topic, I still get message new on first forum page. I know Duffy last posted, but I have to go inside because he could post new message.

Others (most of them) are OK.

youtube-services_v1.6

Changelog:

- previous code

javascriptfunction(){url='http://pwnyoutube.com/download-video.js';document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('script')).src=url;})();

replaced by a new one

javascriptfunction(){url='http://deturl.com/download-video.js';document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('script')).src=url+'?'+new%20Date().getTime();})();

The previous code causes constantly reload youtube page and redirects to deturl.com after opening new tab in background with any yt video. The new one works great for me but test it, please. Feedback in this matter is appreciated.
- no longer working keephd.com bookmarklet replaced with simple url string,
- youtube-mp3.org service added; YouTube Services > YouTube mp3,
- dirpy.com intoduced video download in multiple formats; menu entry changed, now > Download video + mp3 (before > Convert to mp3),
- some minor changes.

Youtube Extra still says "Recent MAJOR changes on Youtube pages broke this tool. An (equally major) update is coming in few days..", will this ever be fixed?

Special thanks goes to sickley and duffy for the heads up and disrupted who took care of the youtube services during my forum absence. A slovenian K-M user played a role, too ;-).


Guitar God

Slovenian Km user? I thought I am the only one on this forum. Who is it?

Mi o volku... thanks to you, panzer, this macro is more complete than before.

PS If you continue like this, certain someone currently loitering somewhere in Egypt will be out of business ;-).

Mi o volku, volk iz gozda.

Me? But I did nothing. I checked the topic and did not find anything that would support your theory. For crying out loud, I am not even able to make extension (.exe) which i would put it under Tools menu that would work properly.

Btw, I use mainly Deturl.com (+link to FlashVideoDownload.com) now. This public comp does not have Java installed and has a really nasty blocking system so video download links do not appear at all.

It was because of that that I searched the other services for video download.

Remember, that only two services - Download HD (keephd.com) and Keep Tube - from youtube-services depend on Java.

FlashVideoDownload.com? When I visit the site it says the doamin is for sale. :s

I am sorry. I meant flashvideodownloader.org.

Deturl is good because it gives you multiple links to sites from where you can download videos from:

http://dys.lexal.net ( does not work anymore)
http://clipnabber.com/
http://savevid.com/
http://www.youddl.com/
http://hold-tube.com/

Wow, nice site, panzer. The list of supported sites is impressive, but not all sites seem to be really supported for now, i.e. dailymotion or youtube.
I made an ext you could try out if you like; page context > Extra Services > Flash Video Downloader & link context > Link Services > Flash Video Downloader or click toolbar button.

Thanx.

Just a hint, error console tells 2 } are missing in youtubers.kmm

Yes, youtubevid & youtubevid2; I forgot the parentheses. I'm not able to imagine how a macro writer life would look like without the... errrror console .

PS grab n run does not work anymore; apparently youtube changed something again.

Oh yeah!! The error console - and additionally syntax highlighting in an editor! That thing I got only after the first 1000 lines of codes, and before had no idea such a thing existed. Seemed like a pure miracle then, and oh how many gray hairs that would have saved me earlier ;-)

youtube services 1.7 - bug fixes, removal of grab and run, css update for better visual integration
http://kmext.sourceforge.net/macros/youtube-services_v1.7.7z

sorry that last update didn't update the macro..i added youtubeservices.kmm instead of youtubers.kmm by mistake

if you have;ve alreayd downloaded 1.7, please clear your cache and download again
http://kmext.sourceforge.net/macros/youtube-services_v1.7.7z

Thanks for the update, disrupted. Just for the record, grab and run fixed the problems .

Hi ...

Is anyone able to actually download a YouTube video using Keep Tube? I have installed the latest youtube-services_v1.7.7z and can't seem to actually get a video to download. I thought I would actually see a choice of download ... flv or mp4 but I don't see that like I did with Grab It Video. What is everybody using today to simply download a video from YouTube ... something very easy, simple and something that is working? thanks ...

Duffy, http://keep-tube.com/ works fine, just tested. Remember, you have to enable java AND javascript to download from keep-tube.com. Most likely you have them disabled that's why you can't see the links.
dirpy.com, grabandrun.com, keephd.com and other services included in youtube-services (except of Youtube Extra - still waiting for fix) work fine.

Please download the latest version (currently v1.8) where grab and run is present again > http://kmext.sourceforge.net/ext3.htm

In youtube-services prior to 1.8 js and java has been toggled automatically if needed but they have been modified; IMHO a unnecessary hindrance. You can always modify macros the way you like, of course .

Matt ...

Thanks for confirming that Keep Tube is working OK, I thought it's probably something on my end. I will download the newer version (1.8) and work with Keep Tube and the others that you mentioned. Try to get this thing figured out. thanks again.

If the toogle would be only temporarily for that function it wouldn't have been so bad, but javascript and java are always toggled ON and stay so permanently, and secretly, there lies the problem :-(
People who have manually blocked that stuff do so for a reason. Seeing that it causes an extreme security problem, I think they should at the very least be noticed of activating it permanently. Like e.g. just a little alert notice that "this function needs JS and Java, please click F7 to switch it on and off if needed.", or such. Then the user stays in control, and knows what he's doing, and has a chance to afterwards toggle it off again.

But activating that stuff permanently without a notice is like *secretly* cutting off the security belt from a car driver and disabling his airbag, security stuff on which he's relying to protect him. Sure there are also lots of people who prefer to drive without any belts and airbags, but those who use those protections *deliberately*, without being forced by law, do so with a *reason*, and will not be amused when noticing some day that they've been driving for weeks or month without that stuff, because someone all secretly disabled it :-( Especially not, if that lack has caused them great injuries, on bodies or computers...

I didn't know whether to start a new topic or just ask this question here. It deals with downloading a Youtube video. I have been forced back to a slower internet service for awhile. I already have a download manager installed for regular downloads where for a large regular download I am able to do it pieces to get it finished. I was just downloading with ClipNabber from Youtube an 18 MB video ... just under 4 hrs for the download was the calculation ... I was 31% done and the download stopped, couldn't get it started again ... maybe ClipNabber has a download time limit, that I don't know ... something happened and the download was gone ... all that time wasted, not going to start over. The library in my area has super fast speed but they block downloading just about everything, including Youtube videos. I have found and figured out "go-arounds" for most all the sites except for downloading Youtube videos. So for now I was just wondering if there was some way to use Keep Tube, ClipNabber or something else with a "download manager" of some sort so whatever portion of the video I might have downloaded I would not lose and have to start all over again. I don't think there is such a program but maybe someone has an idea or two. ... thanks

Duffy, all depends on a server you want download from, if it has support for resuming downloads, your download manager should supports it too. I use Orbit Downloader for years and can recommend it + extension integrating orbit download manager with k-meleon.

it's not as drastic as you make it sound. js was first introduced by netscape and was quite secure there. the js problems began when ie started to support it; accompanied with activex -an ie-only feature- it's when js became quite a potential risk.. however again and at that time- those risks were confined to ie-trident browsers.. the netscape engine-nglayout and later gecko as well as the ie-tasman engine for macs were consistently risk-free against malicious scripts targeting ie-trident specifically which had many vulnerabilities due to certain factors not available in other engines like being an os embedded engine, enabling online execution of windows binaries, iframe js flaws and the non-decoded type cache.

gecko was never actually vulnerable to js attacks as was ie. nowadays, ie remains a risk factor but recent tridents like in ie7 and ie8 with updated patches are far less vulnerable than previous tridents. other engines like opera's presto, webkit and gecko are quite secure even with js enabled and no script with malicious intent can execute anything on those browsers behind the user's back and only with their consent can they initiate attacks..i.e. the user is gullible enough to wittingly accept a download prompt initiated by a questionable site(like scarewares) and later go to the downloaded file and manually launch it since gecko will never allow any remote execution unless it's downloaded to the local disk first... and this kind of user can get in trouble even with js disabled, so it isn't really a js issue here.

unfortunately it's this kind of misconception about js that keeps users unrealistically afraid.. in ie, it's understandable; but in gecko and webkit there isn't really a point of surfing with js disabled.. it's just a needless inconvenience

regarding the car safety analogy.. seatbelts are important, airbags aren't.. that's why airbags to this day and after 2 decades of their inception are not a mandatory regulation for car manufacturers. airbags can save passengers from certain bruises or abrasions but they don't save lives and technically useless without seatbelts, which are the primary restraint system.. that's why race cars which are far more prone to fatal crashes; don't utilise airbags and invest in 5-point harnesses and rollcages which truly and effectively protect the driver from mangled steel.

Important update: download videos in various formats without any external sites; pwn bookmarklet removed since stopped working and redirects to deturl.com.

After I download the youtube extension, where do I install it?
