Youtube video direct and Get youtube download url

[dave]

Updating both filters for youtube changes. November 10, 2013

I have two youtube filters to share.

First one will jump any youtube video url to just the video isolated in your browser:

Code:

[HTTP headers]
In = FALSE
Out = TRUE
Key = "!-|||||||||||| URL: Youtube Video Direct (out)"
URL = "(www.|m.|)youtube.com[^/]+/((watch*v=|v/)(?+{11})\1)$JUMP(http://www.youtube.com/embed/\1)"
Replace = "\0$LOG(wYoutube Video Direct)"

The second will open the log window (if closed) with the download url for the youtube video file as the first entry. Copy it to the clipboard and add a file name at the end and download the file. If the video is stopped, you have to press the play button before the log window will show the download url:

Code:

[HTTP headers]
In = FALSE
Out = TRUE
Key = "!-|||||||||||| URL: Get youtube download url (out)"
URL = "[^/]++.(youtube|googlevideo).com/videoplayback\?"
Replace = "$LOG(!W$UESC(\u)&title=)"

Here's a test url, 5 seconds long, "Bugs Bunny, What a Maroon":

Code:

Hope you find them useful.
