Easy YouTube Video Downloader - Popular Firefox Addon Updated To Version 1.2

Thank you very much Admin. =]

---------------------------------
Fertility Is Hereditary, Chances Are If Your Parents Didn't Have Children Neither Will You

uhhh, looks good. thanks

This Is a great addon, but ever since upgrading to 1.2, I can no longer see the Download links with the flashblock addon enabled using firefox 3.0.10 on a windows xp pro desktop. It would be nice if you could fix it so that it works correctly with flashblock again. That and the previous icons were a little more user friendly since they were bigger. Other than that, its an excellent addon!

It would be good if the video being downloaded had a name of what it was other than just "video.flv".

Thanks, these are much better than the big buttons you guys had before =)

Noncommentable

Very Very usful app, using it all the time

This extension is very nice, but on a Mac/Unix-based PC there is one problem with the path. The standard path is Desktop\Videoname.extension, this might be correct for Windows, on other operatingsystems you can hope, that you can correct these filename. Thanks for an update.

HQ CANNOT BE DOWNLOADED!!ONLY HD CAN!!BUT MOST OF THE VIDEO IN YOUTUBE IS IN FORM OF HQ!!

If video name is "xxx : yyy" there is a problem: ":" is an invalid character in windows file names !!!
How can I rename it before downloading?

Thanks

Hi, I'm having a problem here: there's this HQ video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCVqx2b-c7U&feature=channel#
but the download options are only FLV 3GP MP4 the HD option doesn't appear..
any idea if its a problem with HQ (youtube) and HD?
Thanks

OK I've found the problem my self.
The video has not HD..

Looks like it doesn't like video titles that contain double quotation marks ("). Excellent software otherwise!

Video titles containing " won't save.

Works great...but would like to select a download folder other than desktop!!

I've tried downloading a few titles... any that contain punctuation won't download due to an 'unknown error' :(
Also, the desktop folder destination kinda sucks, too.
Otherwise, a great addon :)

thanks for the great add on
can you add an mp3 function to it as well

Is there a way to download the subtitle/ caption file in some youtube videos? I really need the subs for Home http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU but they don't show in the downloaded files. Thanks.

Thanks

Files like "The real Truth!!!" will just fail to download and there is no way to work around as the automatic filename is invalid.

By using a "trim" function you could clean up the name from any invalid characters and thus make them downloadable, too...

work fine and can play:)Thanks so much!

This is a great add-on, no questions there. The only problem is its incompatability with Flashblock. It's kind of a pain in "the behind" having to turn flashblock on and off everytime I want to download a video! That's why I'm sticking with version 1.1 until these guys can fix the problem. Maybe in the next version!?

Please!!!

Anyway, keep up with the good work...

how can I revert the version to 1.1? I have adblock + flashblock installed. can't use the latest version of the downloader

i have a problem with this program. when i click on mp4 or flv or 3 gp i dont get any thing. so i cant download any video.

Can u please help me?

thx in advanced.

Easy Youtube Video Downloader adds '\' to filename.

In Mac OS X, '\' is not path separetor.

I want not to add '\' to file name.

as far as i can tell, right clicking flv, 3gp, mp4, copying the source url and opening it in a different tab works; and as long as you have a folder set as a save as destination it shud work...jus gotta rename!

Flashblock stops the download links showing up. I have to disable flashblock, which I don't like doing. Please do something about this.

Your plugin worked great until you updated it a few days ago. Now it doesn't work at all.

Okay people, we all know that the software has an incompatibility with Flashblock. We just have to sit, wait and pray that the problem is fixed in an upcoming version. No need to blame the software or call anyone names. That hasn't and will never lead to anything.

Until then, if you want to turn the version back to 1.1 and don't know how to do it just do this:

1) uninstall EasyYoutubeDownloader;
2) go to this link where the software is:

--> https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/10137

3) scroll down to "Works with" and click the link that says "See All Versions";
4) scroll down to version 1.1 and add it to firefox;

Note: when Firefox warns you that a new version of the add-on is available just ignore it. When there are updates for your other add-ons just uncheck the box on EasyYoutubeDownloader and proceed.

Remind yourself to keep track of the notes from the newest versions. This problem may be solved in any upcoming version!

Hope this helped ...

I clicked on all three types of format and cannot download, but it could before. Is there a max download number ? like a cap? Cus i did download liek 15 videos before it stopped working.

After Updating the plug-in it stopped working!

Not a great update, is it?

Hi, could you add an option just to download an mp3 of the video. (Also the HD sound if available)

1.4 does not work

1.4 not working !!!!!!

When I try to download the HD version of a video, the only thing that I get is the audio. Or at least that's the only thing that's playable when I open it.

Any way to fix this problem?

hi..
great addon..
but sometimes I cannot see the links (next to the vdos)..
either it takes time to load ..(more time than the vdo itself) or
it does not load at all..

the 2nd one more frequently..

pls help..

Mines not working, am I the only one with the problem???
It just fails to even start downloading!
Please help!!

Try to donwload this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2_MzhA0acA
You can't do it because the name of the video is "Aikido Yokomenuchi Nikyo O/U" and you will get an error message because the "/" character should be escaped...
Thank you for this great addon.

In the next update could you support the file .AVI, I would like those better. Thnx!

Hi my Firefox show 2 rows to download videos...

please add more features to it as to convert video to mp3 & wav like format

this would be agreat step tiwards its popularity

thankx

This is by far the most useful add-on I have used and am currently using along with FireGestures. Is it possible to add MP3 an an option for people who want to download the audio only? Thx for this great add-on.

flv 3pg and mp4 all show up but when i try to click them, nothing happens... is it because of the video or something else?

Hmm, where do I get the newest release 1.4 with the fixed download for files with invalid characters? Can you pls post the download link here?

Thanks!

Great job guys, this is and excellent tool! I just love it. Easy, handy and doing just what its suposed to do...

Are there any plans to integrate this also as button into the favorites or playlists, so I can first add the video to a playlist and then download all of them at once? This would be awesome!

Maybe stupid question but where do I get version 1.4? Download on this page is pointing still to version 1.2, right?

Thank you for this great tool, it is one of my favorite tools on my computer and I could not imagine any more without it...

BTW, is there any chance you will make the tool capable of downloading multiple videos, e.g. from a youtube playlist or favorites or just all videos that are linked from a certain page? That would be really awesome!!

I click on the links to download them in all the formats but it wont let me. Im confused. Anyway, check out this site to get free stuff online. http://tinyurl.com/n9zqxw

wow...
very well done

I have the full K-Lite MegaCodec Pack installed, yet when I download a MP4 file (using the text links to the right) it wont play on WMPC or any other player I have. What gives?

I have other MP4 files downloaded from elsewhere (not using the addon) and those play fine...

Oye no se si se han dado cuenta, pero al querer descargar como .flv o .mp4 me marca un error y me dice que no se pudo descargar...

Si pueden resolver ese problema, acerlo lo antes posible...

Estoy muy agradecido con su programa, y solo dejo este comentario como peticion te arreglar ese fallo...

Muchas gracias...

I tried downloading the following video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-QSuu_19sY

There were three options, flv, 3gp, and mp4. All of them gave me 0.0kb after download. Any workarounds?

Can't get this to work with Firefox 3.5 on a Mac. Downloads don't occur. What's wrong here?

Hi am trying to download the file from Youtube site, but it not happening?

It is great that the plugin uses the name of the Youtube video in the filename that it creates (eg Youtube movie.flv). The issue is that if you watch and try to download a movie with the exact same title (and download filename), the original will get overwritten and lost! This has been happening and I did not even realize, so I am not a happy camper. This can be fixed by checking to see if the filename being downloaded already exists, and then have the plugin just add a (1), (2), etc to the end of it. Thus no more overwriting existing files. Hopefully this can be done because this is a really easy, fast plugin to use, with this rather annoying issue bringing it down.

how can i rename the video files i download cause it only sayes video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i cant download it now.. the previous version is better than the new...

I tried clicking Mp4, Flv and 3gp but non of them worked, and it told me to try to save it in a new location and i tried that too but it didn't work either. Help please!? =(

Can you put some option to download audio track only...BIG THX for Easy YouTube Video Downloader

I would like to second the last comment, this problem bit be big time today. It should NOT silently overwrite files.

Just wondering if the mp4 could be made to play on an iPod. I know that iPods do play mp4, but some types are incompatible. I have been converting my videos to m4v, but would rather avoid this step since it is time consuming and requires twice the space. Other than that, I agree that mp3 support should be added. As one final thought, it would also be great if you could move the download buttons to a spot closer to the player controls, and some graphics would be nice too instead of just text links.I'm sure that you are not able to accommodate the requests for all the different file types requested due to space issues... maybe get around this obstacle by having a single download button with a drop down menu of all the different types.
Great add-on though. I have never had any problems with it, but there is still room to be better. Looking forward to future releases. thanks.

It doesn't work and I have no idea why. I click on the Mp4 for example and it does nothing...

siiii!!! funciona de lujo!!! es lo mejor!!! siiii me sirve muchisimo.. ahora tengo 1000 de videos en mi celular

is one of the options the same as mp3?

The latest upgrade is broken in Firefox for Mac 3.0.10.

Links to download do not work.

There is also a problem with the preference page which is set NOT to scroll which means that you cannot see, never mind choose, options.

The small preference page also appears every time you open a new window.

Needs urget attention.

Thank you.

if you try to download a video with slashes (and maybe other things) in its name such as this video: "25/25 Kaki King - Tuning + Universe Known as DUNE" it fails with an 'unknown error'.

Flashblock prevents this extension from working. It worked perfectly in the past (v1.1 IIRC) but since I updated to FF3.5 and got compatible version of this (1.6 at the time) the download links no longer appear.

Try right click, save as ...

best quality on 3gp please!!! :D

Useful and great software... Thanks...
Happy with it...

Here's an awesome addon, MP3 would perfect this :)

Thanks admin! This is a great product!

why can't Easy Video downloader download videos in mp3 format?

mp3 format?

Why it not working
when I click Mp4 button nothing happen

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
READ IT Foreign Dummys

it is not working
it does not download when i clicked the mp4, flv , etc..

this shit doesn't work in youtube

E:\Audio Songs\Youtube\Pa Ghappi yaan.3gp could not be saved, because an unknown error occurred.

Try saving to a different location.

To download a video is important go first to "option" of Easy YouTube Video Downloader, and select where you whish download it. This options are in
aggregates program in your firefox, find its in "tools". if you don´t do it you can´t download any video.

You definitely need to add an MP3 format option to the download options, i often need only the sound from a youtube video and have to download and convert to get mp3 audio, pls add mp3 option. Thanks, Bye.

I can't save it so it opens in itunes. in fact i can't even find the file after it's done downloading. i want it to go to mp3 so i can play the music on my itunes...

Using latest version of Easy Youtube Video Downloader (1.6) and FF 3.5.1

I go to this adress: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8qGa4Yh2qs and I try to download as mp4. It records a 0 bytes file. The same happens when trying to download as other formats.

I compared frame by frame an HQ video diaplayed in the youtube box and the same video downloaded as "MP4", that should be *the exact* HQ video dislplayed on youtube, but i instantly noticed a lot of artifacts in the downloaded one, instead of very smooth edges in the youtube box.

So here i'm not understandig if the downloaded video (as "MP4") is different from the HQ displayed on the youtube box or if the youtube player includes some powerful anti-aliasing function in itself.

And, in that last case, how can that function be enabled outside youtube? Because the quality difference it's huge.

Thanks.

Hi, why then I want download video from Youtube, the file is saved on drive E? The drive E is my recorder DVD.
Can I change the directory?
Thanks

i try downloading a youtube video on any format but it doesn't do anything at all. i've even serched my comp and nothings there. help plz!

I downloaded a video on mp4 format. I put on my mp3 but there's no video just audio can any1 help?

Hello Admin,
Are there any plans to add a function in your application to clean up Youtube names from invalid characters so they would also be able to download?

I mean somethin like (Example in PHP):

<?php
function filename_safe($filename) {
$temp = $filename;

// Lower case
$temp = strtolower($temp);

// Replace spaces with a '_'
$temp = str_replace(" ", "_", $temp);

// Loop through string
$result = '';
for ($i=0; $i

That would be a quick thing to add and improve your application...

Great app!! Thanks!

http://www.google.ch/search?hl=de&num=100&q=function+to+remove+invalid+characters+file+name&btnG=Suche&meta=

please create mp3 icon =)

a sweet thing is that it could download to mov file..

that is exactly what we need baby....

I'd been trying to find something that would let me download HD videos. But I have a question. Why does it not give me an HD option when the video player itself does?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v66VMFBPq8E

I downloaded this file
but when i open it.. the codecs said that it cant render the file
even VLC cant start the file..

did something wrong?

This is an excellent downloading tool! It always works for me.The only thing that you should add is an option where the program can download videos that have the same titles.

Example:
I want to download a video that says
VideoTen
and when I try to download another video with the same exact title it will download as Videoten-1 oppose to overwriting the original video with the same exact title.

Seriously, I don't know what the deal is...the "buttons" are there, you can click on them, but NOTHING happens. NOTHING. I downloaded this THREE times and still nothing. I am so disappointed, I used to have a great YouTube Downloading program. Guess I'll have to go back and reinstall that one. Too bad. I was really hoping this one would work.

Hi,

I've encountered problems when trying download following file:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VRtujwa_b8

I think problem is related to the fact that file name doesn't contain any Latin character. One of the possible solution (if I'm not mistaken) would be possibility to give alternative file name.

Now when all the other "youtube downloader" program doesnt work, This addon work, awesome program and nice buttons :D

Hi there, i tried downloading certain videos by clicking on the MP4 but its not appearing in my download manager.

I even tried to right click and save as.. & transfer those videos to my PSP but when I try to play in my PSP it says data not supported.

Can anyone please help me with this ?

Nothing happens when I click to download from Youtube as MP4 (or anything else). When I tried to uninstall Easy, it continues to show "This add-on will uninstall when Firefox is restarted". Need help! Thanks.

The HD option is not available anymore...even on videos that i had downloaded.

Example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDj0bOdfIpk&hd=1&fmt=22

HD option missing after some downloads

even on videos that i had downloaded

Works very well for .flv and .3gp downloading. Not yet tried the HD or mp4 yet.

It would be great if the next update allowed an mp3 download :O

looks now like this:
Download Video As : FLV 3GP MP4 [?]

Yes it's a HD-video.
Yes, I checked videos I dl in HD some weeks ago.

Great app! Got it to work on a Mac by control+clicking on MP4 (plain clicking didn't work for me) and selecting "OK" button on resulting pop-up "You have chosen to open Video.MP4" window. Went right to the desktop, where I was able to rename it, then import it into iTunes. Thanks for sharing your brilliance!

I have two sets of youtube videos posted by the same author/organization. One set works when I try to download it, the other fails, any idea why? Both were tried using the MP4 file format since I want to throw it onto an ipod and both work when fmt=18 is added to the options

Video that works fine with downloader:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAurgxtOdxY&feature=PlayList&p=CCD6C043FEC59772&index=0

Video that does not work with downloader:

Hi,
I am using mac, but couldn't see the HD link option.
any idea?

I started using Easy Youtube Video Downloader, 'coz a couple weeks ago Download Helper addon stopped working at all. So E.Y.V.D. became an awesome alternative along with his better features eg.: same file name, multiple simultaneous downloads... But I've noticed a few days back that the option HD [code 22] is not appearing anymore. In this meantime Download Helper retuned workimg with all the downloadable verisons [flv (35), mp4 (18), hd (22)]. So what has happen? Will it be fixed?

Thanks from now on.

[Sorry my bad english, I'm brazilian.]

It doesn't work for me. And the video is in HD. Here's the link

I really really like this addon, but I would like to see convertion to MP3 :D

Great work im imprest best addons on firefox... my favorit.. so go on be stronger be gratest.. convert mp3

topus@wp.pl

it would be so amazing if you could make a mp3 conversion..

I just downloaded this addon and it worked perfectly fine for my first download. But after that, it doesn't want to download anything else? Firefox is showing that they start downloading a clip, but then it stops abruptly and the file size is 0kb?

I'm using the latest version with Firefox 3.0.10 for Mac.

omg thats wonderful thank you my friend

Thanx for a great plugin, only used it for a couple of minutes but feels like its something that will be added to my permanent addon-list !!

However .. Cant find a report-to-bugtracker-option-thingie on this site so ill just post it here. I found some minor issues when using 1.8(b?) under Mozilla 3.5.3.
The issues are as follows:
Regular(left)click to download doesn't work while right-click on the download option and choosing the "open link in new tab" option does the job .. any suggestions for a fix ?

HD option in missing for HD enabled videos, suppose youtube changed their code? ...

/Alex

I have a Mac and Firefox version 3.5
Nothing happens when I click on the links to download from You Tube.

After installing the add-on i am not able to watch the video,also there are buttons to download but when i try to download there is an error and it says contact the administrator of the site. Major problem is tht i am not able to even the watch on site

the hd button is no enabled in mine. everytime im watching a hd vid, for example this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8a2Ojqateo i only see options 3gp, mp4 and flv. theres no HD. i wonder why. im using a firefox 3.5.3.

i already download an Hd video but i know that i need a codec called mpeg4 encoder to see it on windows media player, so how can I make that the video works with this codec Windows Media Video 9 Professional without installing an encoder?

Hey, thanks for a amazing plugin! It would be nice to have a option to download only the audio from the video, just a thought...

cannot see hd button

Hi, my user folder contains a "é" character so I can't download to my desktop or my documents my downloads folders or anything which is in my user folder, but if I change the path to something with standard english characters like C/Users/Documents then it's fine. This is kind of annoying as I have to go looking for the file afterward.

Oh, and an mp3 functionality would be very nice.

As others have said, the HD download option used to show up on HD Videos, but doesn't anymore for some reason - at least not for me.

Is it possible to download in MP3?

Thankyou
