Help with Youtube Download Script

    I was putting a common youtube download script and a template together and now the downloader function does not work. To even see the error pop up when you try to download something you have to be in firefox. I figure the problem is with the template files and not with the java as i did not touch any of that and have know this script to work before.

    URL is http://freeyoutubesave.com

    Looks like the script that's at dvdvideosoft.com is malfunctioning. . . Looks like it reporting a browser header for whatever reason: Cache-Control: no-cache.

    Actually what's fully returned from that script when you give it a valid link is: dvs_yd4all_handleResponse(0,"Cache-Control: no-cache");

    So it isn't reporting an error, but it's sending the wrong url to the dvs_yd4all_handleResponse function.

    I'm assuming you don't control that script though, eh?

    This is the link the javascript on your page pulls and parses: http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/getDire...nk=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTj6tauY1JU

    You would have to assume yea. Email the guy who owns the script, he prolly doesn't know it's messed up. . .

    I've made something like this before, and it's a constant pain to try and keep up with the site your trying to parse- in this case YouTube. If youtube were to change one small thing it would mess up his parsing algorithm, if they change something the regex relies on at least.

    I need some help fixing my youtube download script as well. Same type of issue...stopped working a few months ago when youtube changed something. But worked fine for a couple years before that.

    I'd rather not change the whole script out but was hoping someone here might know enough about how they work, or what youtube changed to be able to edit the script to make it work.

    Anyone know enough to maybe fix it and willing to help? I don't have much cash right now but could provide a link from the site at least (PR4).

    The guy I bought the script from is kind of an ass and wouldn't respond to my emails...I can understand not wanting to support a $15 script for years and years but I'm sure between all those that bought the script he could at least charge a few bucks for upgrades and made up for his time.

    This is the script I am using: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=772434


    PM me if you think you can help!
