Download video from Veoh

Last update on Jul 11, 2008

Adds a link to download the Flash video file from Veoh

Adds a "Download FLV Video" link to Veoh's video pages to download the flash video file. The video downloaded is the full video if the video is complete in the Veoh page, but it is limited to a 25 Mb file if only the 5 minutes preview is available

PD: Please, post your feedback, as this script is still an experimental one

I'm afraid I don't know about that ?? operator. Besides, trying to access the [1] member of the match result if the match method returns null will throw an exception and halt the script

I believe this section:

var permalinkId = window.location.pathname.match(/\/videos\/([\w\d]+)/i);
      if (permalinkId === null) {
      	return;
      }
      else {
      	permalinkId = permalinkId[1];
      }
      

can be condensed to:

var permalinkId = window.location.pathname.match(/\/videos\/([\w\d]+)/i)[1] ?? return;

Veoh doesn't let you download all the videos in the original format from the page

isn't this script a bit... pointless?
I mean you can download the video in its original format already.
Why would you bother downloading it as an flv?

Basically why make a script to let you download a video file - when you can already download the video, most likely in a higher quality...

freeser:

The script only works in Veoh page, not in other pages with the player embedded. Find the video that page is loading in Veoh and download it from there

It works for me Sebastian. It adds a Download FLV Video link in the box under the video. If it doesn't work for you, please post a link to a video page where that happens

The script isn't working at all... it's installed but right clicking on the Greasemonkey Script icon doesn't show it working so I can't even begin to search for a Download link on the page... a screenshot to where it is might also be helpful... but really I just want a link instead of any fancy buttons, I like to copy the location instead of downloading so I can stream it in Quicktime Player instead (I despise Flash).

Please fix this, and Thanks.

Sebastian
