08:00 GMT - YouTube 'downloaders' stop working

I was watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXLmt6i-hBY (Everlast, 'I get by'), at end of video when the page semi refreshes to load thumbs and offer option to replay..

I don't know if this helps, but this script has not been blocked from installing it's buttons and menus on the top of the video.. I understand it does something different, but it's not blicked... Landis. |

Can't reproduce that with the video you linked to. This script still works fine and lets me download the video in a bunch of formats up to 1080p |

I'm getting no formats available too. It just started that yesterday, so YouTube must have mucked around again. |

Don't know if this is related but this would indicate to me that youtube changed some stuff last week. I used this script in conjunction with the firefox add-on Flashblock for a long time without any problems. I would be able to save Youtube videos when flash was off/blocked. But starting last week I would get the "Error: No download formats available" error when Flashblock was enabled. I tried another Youtube download userscript and that worked when Flashblock was enabled. So it seems like whatever changes Youtube made affects this particular script due to the way it was designed/programmed. |

I saw "Error: No downlaod formats available" as well. Re-enabling Flashblock restored functionality for me, as well. |

I can confirm the error here.
I will see if I can reproduce the error and save the console contents, then I will post it here. |

Hm ... In one of my Opera instances I have flash disabled and now get the HTML5 version of the videos without explicitly opting in (cookies disabled) the script still works without flaws. In the other instance Flash was on but it still worked (see screenshot of the above mentioned "Everlast" video: http://quhno.internetstrahlen.de/test/yt-dl-ujs... ) I don't know if it makes a difference but in my version of the script I have put the whole script content into an anonymous function to avoid clashes with other scripts, may be that helps with Firefox too? (The Greasemonkey implementation of userscripts is a little bit different to Opera's native implementation, may be that makes a difference too) |

When I hit this bug again, I tried to gather as much data as possible.

The download button looks different since a couple of days. I wish that HTML5 issue can get fixed soon, this script is my favourite one. |

I got the error, but the button still functioned and things were clear on reload. (Opera-Next 12 build 13xx) Y'sure you didn't add other YouTube lubricators and flash movie deferrals (also in Extensions/Javascript?) |

I still didn't run into the error problem despite having flash disabled.
which is fine for me so far because no flash == no movie_player About the pure optical glitch with the look of the download button:

Same error for me as well.
Until the creator fixes it, this one works for now.

It works for me using latest Opera 11.61, I have however added the option to also save the uploaders username (%c) and it always comes as undefined as of a couple of days now, video title (%t) and video id (%v) work fine |

It works for me if I go here: http://www.youtube.com/html5 and leave HTML5 test mode. If HTML5 test mode is on, the script does not work. |

Again does not work. |

Does not work on the page http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g65ANaVnL4&feat... |

Works for me in Chrome, but not in Firefox 13.0 where I get "Error: No downlaod formats available". I am not in the HTML5 trial. |

In Firefox 13 with Flashblock installed, I'm getting the same error even before I click to enable the embedded Flash player. |

The author seems to have moved on to other things. Will anyone create a real fork, or ask him to come back? |

Stopped working today, for example on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jieSlTLIKJ0 No matter which format I choose, it will lead to a blank page. |
