Youtube video direct and Get youtube download url

[Oddysey]

Dave;

I did try them in a non-Proxo environment - that's how I came to the conclusion that the code-monkeys at Google have taken over the asylum!

With my browser set to no Proxy service available (it just goes straight through, as originally intended), your posted links work as advertised on the tin. However, if the purpose of a filter is to make sure something works in a different way, presumably a way that produces a more desirable effect, then The Proxomitron has to be enabled, if for no other reason than to test a filter all by itself.

Which is what I did - test each of your filters by themselves, by loading a completely separate config file.... said file having no (other) header filters and no Pattern filters at all. The resuls I posted above are what I get with IE9 on W7Ult. Oh, and the Hosts file was renamed as well, to take that out of the picture for the moment. Scary, being naked like that on the Innerwebs!

Quote:The $JUMP statement I have is not what you write. It is as follows:

Code:

$JUMP(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\1)

As far as I know, any youtube will play isolated in the browser window from that statement. Just add the 11 character identifier in place of '\1' and try it out.

You and I seem to be operating with different YouTube servers. The address in your quoted Code is the bone-standard address for anyone visiting YouTube to watch a video. It does not produce a video-only in the entire (browser) screen - that's the job of the embed code, or more often, the "/v/{11chars}" address form..... at least that's how it is here in the USofA. In point of fact, your very first posted filter contained a RegExp that included both possibilities, meaning that it would match on what you eventually replaced via the $JUMP instruction: ((watch*v=| would indeed Match on the question mark via that asterisk, so I have to wonder, what were you trying to accomplish by Replacing the exact same Match?


For reference, just so no one thinks I'm speaking in a vacuum, here's a solid link that reiterates my point:

Indeed, one need only google (or bing, or whatever) on "youtube url OR address parameters". Every link on the first page repeats my statements above.

Sorry Dave, I don't mean to pee in your Cheerios so early in the AM, but for the life of me, I just can't get my head around your thinking process here. Can you please clarify? ???

Thanks.
