How do you view the file after its downloaded. What viewer or codec do you need?

#3  Nathan posted on Oct 10, 2008 15:51 PDT

You can use this file to download the .flv file off youtube without using chrome.

However, if you prefer to use chrome then i think you just need a file extension converter.

Very usefull plugin. Guys to view the downloaded files either download an .flv player, or KV media codec to view from your windows media player.

Hi, I can't seem to get the application working.

I copy the text into the URL slot but when i click it there is no response when i am on a youtube video.

this is what i pasted into the URL section...

javascript:window.location.href = 'http://youtube.com/get_video?video_id=' + swfArgs['video_id']+ "&l=" + swfArgs['l'] + "&sk=" + swfArgs['sk'] + '&fmt_map' + swfArgs['fmt_map'] + '&t=' + swfArgs['t'];

Am I missing any spaces or what-not.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Another plugin "Get Flash", what supports many services: youtube.com, video.google.com, metacafe.com, dailymotion.com and any sites with direct links to flash-video ( rutube.ru, break.com, current.com) .
I will try to insert the code ( if it does not work, get it on http://lexi.ucoz.ru/index/0-4#bookmarklets ) :

Quote:
javascript:( function( ) { var getVideo=function( flashvars,src) { var getLink=function( s) { var rez=s.match( /[^\s\x22=&?]+\.[^\s\x22=&?\/]*( flv|mp4) /i) ; return rez?rez[0]:''} ; var getQuery=function( s,q) { var rez=s.match( new RegExp( '[&?]'+q+'=( [^&]+) ') ) ; return rez?rez[1]:''} ; var flv=decodeURIComponent( flashvars) ; var url=location.href; var q=''; if( url.indexOf( 'youtube.com/watch?') !=-1&&( q=getQuery( flv,' video_id' ) ) ) return' http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id='+q+'&t='+getQuery( flv,'t') +'&fmt=18'; if( url.indexOf( 'video.google.com/videoplay?') !=-1&&( q=getQuery( src,'videoUrl') ) ) return decodeURIComponent( q) ;if( url.indexOf( 'metacafe.com/watch/') !=-1&&( q=getQuery( flv,'mediaURL') ) ) return q+'?__gda__='+getQuery( flv,'gdaKey') ;if( url.indexOf( 'dailymotion.com/') !=-1&&( q=getQuery( flv,'video') ) ) return q.match( /[^@]+/) ;return getLink( flv) ||decodeURIComponent( getLink( src) ) } ;var createLink=function( l,t) { var oLnk=document.createElement( 'a') ;oLnk.setAttribute( 'href',l) ;oLnk.appendChild( document.createTextNode( t) ) ;oLnk.setAttribute( 'style','display:inline;font:14px Times New Roman;text-decoration:underline;text-transform:none;') ;return oLnk} ;var showLink=function( oEle,oSrc,oFlv) { if( !oEle||!oSrc) return;var cName='ujs_downlink';var p=oEle.previousSibling;if( p&&p.className==cName) { oEle.parentNode.removeChild( p) ;return} ;var oDiv=document.createElement( 'div') ;oDiv.setAttribute( 'style','display:block;position:static;float:none;margin:0;padding:0;z-index:999;') ;oDiv.className=cName;oDiv.appendChild( createLink( oSrc,'Download') ) ;var v=getVideo( oFlv,oSrc) ;if( v) { oDiv.appendChild( document.createTextNode( ' ( ') ) ;oDiv.appendChild( createLink( v,'Video') ) ;oDiv.appendChild( document.createTextNode( ') ') ) } ;oEle.parentNode.insertBefore( oDiv,oEle) } ;var getParam=function( e,n) { var v='';var r=new RegExp( '^( '+n+') $','i') ;var param=e.getElementsByTagName( 'param') ;for( var i=0,p;p=param[i];i++) { if( p.getAttribute( 'name') .match( r) ) { v=p.getAttribute( 'value') ;break} } return v} ;var searchEmbed=function( w) { if( !w) return;var obj=w.document.getElementsByTagName( 'object') ;for( var i=0,oi;oi=obj[i];i++) { showLink( oi,oi.getAttribute( 'data') ||oi.getAttribute( 'src') ||getParam( oi,'movie|data|src|code|filename|url') ||( oi.getElementsByTagName( 'embed') .length&&oi.getElementsByTagName( 'embed') [0].getAttribute( 'src') ) ,getParam( oi,'flashvars') ) } ;var em=w.document.getElementsByTagName( 'embed') ;for( var i=0,ei;ei=em[i];i++) { if( ei.parentNode.tagName.toLowerCase( ) !='object') showLink( ei,ei.getAttribute( 'src') ,ei.getAttribute( 'flashvars') ) } ;for( var j=0,f;f=w.frames[j];j++) { try{ arguments.callee( f) } catch( e) { } } } ;searchEmbed( window.top) } ) ( )

#29  shahrie posted on Apr 19, 2009 07:28 PDT

that works so great..
plus, you can download it faster with your download accelerator (ie. mass downloader, etc.) this way: when google chrome dowloading video, press setting and press downloads or just simply press ctrl+j. cancel the downloading, right click the downloading, choose copy link address. then paste it to your download accelerator. but dont forget to rename the downloaded file to .flv to play it.
