It is good but when i try to download in avi, mpeg and wmv format i dont get the pop up to save file. These are the formats i need ><

You're not being pushy, and I love helping people, so just feel free. It's called "base-64" encoding of data, and css allows you to stick in straight-up base64 data into some css properties. Base64 means literally it's in base64.

First, a little background:

For example, base2 (which is binary), can be counted in zero's and one's:
0 1

base10: (our standard number system)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

base16 (hex)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 A B C D E F

then...

base64, whose "digits" use all the letters, upper and lower, all the digits, and two other symbols (usually between "+ / =", but it varies due to language conflicts, etc)
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + /

there's a lot of converters, here's one that allows you to upload a file and get it's base64 equivalent.

Just an interesting tidbit.... the reason we count in base10 is probably because we have 10 fingers, and people counted with their fingers alll the way back then. Imagine if we had like 16, and we counted in some strange other form....!

Example conversions: (using the number 2008)

Binary (base-2): 11111011000
Hex (base-16): 7D8
Base-10 (regular) : 2008
Base-64: MjAwOA==

(the equal signs are padded to denote that it's in base-64).

hey dkhal, I made an argument parsing function which i've tested and it works perfectly:

String.prototype.getArg=function(arg) {
var re=new RegExp(arg+"=([^&]+)");
return re.exec(this)[1];
}

Now, assuming this block of code is included, finding the argument you want is as easy as:

location.href.getArg("arg1")

Notice also that it is a function of String.prototype, which means you can use the new getArg function on ANY string, like document.URL, or document.body.innerHTML.match(/game=.+/)[0], or "some type of string", or somenode.textContent.

The general syntax is:

a_String.getArg(argument_as_string)

Joe is right, you can use:

/\d+/

or

/[0-9]+/

Those are your two best choices; i prefer the first.

Use this guide if you want to learn regular expressions. I did. I'm ok at them now. Just read everything, make a test script as you learn and try reg expressions on your own strings in the script.

Also I see you stole some things from my script. Please rename this script and ask me next time to use my code.

Oh and if you didn't know what I meant by "escaping", it's basically when you have a character you want, but you can't use it because it signifies something else, you can escape it (typically with a backslash [ \ ] ).

Example:

Improper:

var string="Anthony said, "Good Morning, neighbor!"";

Typical solution

var string='Anthony said, "Good Morning, neighbor!"';

Another solution

var q='"';
var string="Anthony said, " + q + "Good morning, neighbor!" + q;

Escaping solution (preferred/best)

var string="Anthony said, \"Good morning, neighbor!\"";

And in regex (forward-slash form), you have to escape all of these: [ \ ^ $ . | ? * + ( ) { } /

Forward slash needs to be escaped because forward-slash denotes the end/beginning of a regex statement.

1. you can create a regex pattern from a string by doing
   var regex= new RegExp("example.+")
2. the other way is just to do two forward slashes and your regex statement in the middle. ex: /example.+/
3. All regex objects have two native functions: .exec() and .test(). If you do like /example.+/.test("somestring"), it will return true if it was found at least once. /example.+/.exec("somestring") would return an array containing all matches
4. The main usage is for matching and replacing in strings. Examples:
   1. somestring.replace(/regexhere/,"replacement")
   2. somestring.match(/regexhere/)
5. You may want to include the "g" modifier if you want to include line breaks and have more than one match. Example: instead of /\r\n/ to match one linebreak, you can match all with /\r\n/g.

url.indexOf("metrolyrics")>"-1"

/metrolyrics/.test(url)

	if (url.indexOf("lyricwiki")>"-1") {
		cut=tmp.substr(tmp.indexOf("<div class='lyricbox' >")+23);
		cut=cut.substr(0,cut.indexOf('</div>'));
	}

	if(/lyricwiki/.test(url)) cut=tmp.match(/<div class="lyricbox"(.|\n)+?<\/div>/)[0]

hey 1 more suggestion.... you should use regexp instead of all those substrings and indexOf's and replaces. do you know regex? If you don't i'll be more than happy to recode some parts of it with regex.

holy shit... this is amazing!
nice work!
you need some work on the interface though and making it smaller + less ugly--
functionally though, this is fantastic! :)

hey dkhal, just a heads up:
p.setAttribute('flashvars', fv.replace(fmt_map, '18/512000/9/0/115').replace(vq, '2'));

doesn't work on all videos. (like this one wouldn't work or this one.)

check out and feel free to use my technique on this script. (scroll down to the "The Source" section, because it's kind of hard to read the actual source.)

Can you explain me why you rename your script to the same name of my script ?

hi dkhal
thx for the german translation, but it's sometimes wrong...
so I edited the languages.js for myself, here is the languages.js file: http://mid.kilu.de/anderes/languages.js

and I think the favorites list doesn't work, I can add videos, but I can't delete them ^^ (if I press the X nothing happens and after reloading the number of favorites is the same)

Hope You can fix this ;-)
PS: and optional you can put the favorites link everytime on the topmenu, now it's just on the videosite (sry for bad english ^^)

I arrived at this script following your claims you posted on another thread.
I'm looking for a script that displays the full, real path of the FLV on youtube.
I'm not sure if YT uses the same method now, but you used to be able to get a url for the FLV.
For example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b10P4vtLdFI
plays this flv.
http://ash-v74.ash.youtube.com/get_video?video_...

Can this script achieve this feat? If it does, how do I get the URL?
Fab script by the way.
