Not sure if this is what you mean...but when I try Video Downloader on YouTube clips I get a popup window telling me nonsense like this:

----
Warning: main(youtube_get.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.decca/javimoya/videodownloader.net/vd/test.php on line 5643

Warning: main(youtube_get.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.decca/javimoya/videodownloader.net/vd/test.php on line 5643

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: youtube_get() in /home/.decca/javimoya/videodownloader.net/vd/test.php on line 56

Or is that something completely different...?!

I'm not even sure what using videodownloader means... it's never done anything, negative or positive, except sit as an apparently happy icon in my extensions list. No errors, no buttons, no nothing.

I tried it before upgrading and it didn't do anything then either. (0.7.1 to .3, manually)

All of my extensions (this is a longer list than before, with 0.7.1 I only had videodownloader and session manager)
session manager 0.4.1.1
adblock v.5 d3 * nightly 42
stumbleupon 2.78
download statusbar 0.9.4
customizegoogle 0.49
flashblock 1.5.1
another delicious sidebar 1.0
cutemenus - crystal svg 1.2
forecastfox 0.9.2
superT 0.7.9.1

it's annoyingly difficult to just get the url of embedded videos... even with flock i still gotta search the page's html, which makes things like dabble such a hassle. flash is one thing, but other embedded videos really ought to be drag and drop in flock, and snip-able

hiYo!!

but what are the options to find a way to download a video when

ERROR:Fatal error: Call to undefined function: youtube_get() in /home/.decca/javimoya/videodownloader.net/vd/test.php on line 56

is shown...It's in youtube that i wanted to download a song !

Is it just the website*youtube's error or what is it?

Do reply please!

Thanks....

its the same problem with me i always download videos from youtube but today i can't because apears a window that tell me:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: youtube_get() in /home/.decca/javimoya/videodownloader.net/vd/test.php on line 56

but its wierd cause yesterday i download a video as i always do o don't know what to do, i uninstail the extension and instail again but nothing please help

Yeah Ive been getting the Ftal Error too...
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: youtube_get() in /home/.decca/javimoya/videodownloader.net/vd/test.php on line 56

But I downloaded a vid just the other day. This problem only popped up like 2 days ago. :(

Ditto as oICEMANo ... Yesterday I could download ... Today I can't. And nothing has changed on my system since. No updates, no newly installed software, nada.

I remember reading that YouTube was going to change some background coding to prevent the download of their videos. I wonder if they finally got something in place.

Doesn't anyone know what's wrong? I've had the same problem, but it came up just recently. I've been able to download videos off youtube all the time.

I'm in agreement with eletido ... From the error we all seem to be getting (seen below) ... it specifically pointing at "videodownloader.net" and "test.php". Seems like someone on VideoDownloader was testing out new code and forgot to put back the working one. Hopefully they will realize it soon from all our posts. i need my fix! =)

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: youtube_get() in /home/.decca/javimoya/videodownloader.net/vd/test.php on line 56

So what does this downtime of videodownloader.net tell us? I think the use of client-based scripts seems to be advisable for several reasons:

1. With webservices like keepvid or videodownloader you are screwed whenever their website is down or slow.

1. YouTube et al. can easily block an IP range used by services like keepvid or videodownloader so that they cannot retrieve download URLs from the video sites. With client-based scripts this issue doesn't exist.

1. Keepvid and youtube (can) log your video downloads. This may not matter to a lot of people but no such potential invasion of privacy exists with scripts that retrieve the download URL without sending information to download webservices.

1. Client-based scripts are open-source and you may be able to fix them yourself in case of a video site changing its code. Why is that relevant? If videodownloader shuts down, you have nothing. If a script author drops a script, you still have the code to work with.

That being said have a look at these sites:

a) Google Video Getter by Joshua Kinberg
b) All-In-One Video Scripts by 1024k.de

How downloading from Flock 7.0?

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: youtube_get() in /home/.decca/javimoya/videodownloader.net/vd/test.php on line 56"

Videodownloader is good when it works. I personally find it quite unreliable, and there are privacy issues with javimoya.net hosting the backbone of the service :-(

Reyyan: you should rename the "get_video" file to "filename.flv" when downloading from YouTube - that should do the trick ;)

For some reason I can't download the video downloader, when I do it says that its and unknown file and I can't install it..

I keep getting the same error no matter where I try to download, not just youtube.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: youtube_get() in /home/.decca/javimoya/videodownloader.net/vd/test.php on line 56

i can't even get to their website, it says "Cannot connect to website"

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: youtube_get() in /home/.decca/javimoya/videodownloader.net/vd/test.php on line 56
same problems help me please :(

Dear panggih,
I had that problem today. I've tried to repair it for 3 hours. :) I removed all mozilla's extensions at last and that's why downloading is OK now.
But... I can't get song of The Kinks called "All day..." I don't want why. It's OK with other "my" songs. :)

The Error which states:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: youtube_get()...

Can be jogged by simply using the companion site for the Mozilla Video Downloader, which you can get to with this link: http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php

I was having the same problem, and could not get videos to download directly through the youtube site with the plugin. It does work though when you work around it.

Showing my ignorance here: what do you mean by "I removed all mozilla's extensions". What and where are these extensions?

hey,
is it just my one or did ifilm stop people downloading of their site???
i could do it b4 but not now, thanks

Well the thing is that as more and more people download these videos from youtube, they are bound to have a "tad" problem with their bandwith. that being said the things that one can do to donwload a file;

- wait until the video is fully loaded
- refresh if desperate
- try installing video downloader again
- Forget about it youre going to forget the video anyways.

Why would they have more problems with their bandwidth if people downloaded the movies once to watch them offline multiple times, instead of re-streaming them every time? It's not like Youtube has loads of ads which will produce revenue every time someone reloads a video.
It's more likely that they will prevent downloading because of copyright issues.

i'm using FF 1.5 with Win98SE , the extension are adblock, sessionsaver, fasterfox and videodownloader. the videodownloader works fine. That "strange thing" happens when the same browser setup is running on my XP machine..

I am trying to download videos from ifilm but when the program creates the download link and I try to save as the video an error window appears saying that Internet Explore was not able to open this internet site. What is happenig? How I can fix this?

Thanks
Alex

I'm also not able to Download Video from IFILM ??? Has anyone have a fix for this?

Hi everybody!
Please help me with Videodownloader...
1. I choosed the Link for installing the add-on. Fine.
2. The Add-on seems to be installed, but: there is no symbol where it should be.( in the right-down corner???)
3. Then I try to change the settings of Videodownloader, but: after clicking settings...nothing works anymore.
so i have to shut down firefox...
I think that isnt't the way it's meant to be?^^

HELP ME

I would love to see a solution to download vidilife videos. They got rid of their option to play videos in WMV. Videos are only in flash and I have tried numerous downloaders and none of them work. With videodownloader, I paste the link and it says invalid link.

hi

the video downloader is working perfectly but

can any one tell me that how can i download videos from internet explorer

instead of firefox i mean to say that i want video for internet explorer how can i download video from internet as well please give me a reply and send me through email as well

Do you have any idea of how this stuff works???

Well, about one year ago I read the sourcecode of the page and downloaded the file manually, to change its name to bla.flv or something. but now youtube changed their code, so you can`t even get the file mannually. They just edited the way their videos were implemented to the source. Blocking IPs has nothing to do with it.
In former Times there was 'player2.swf?v="http://blabla/get_video"' but now it is "player2.swf?v=9Fg4fghs" or someting similar. When it is "http://blabla/get_video", you can downlad it, but without the URL you can't do anything.

Hope you see the problem...

Sorry, this Post should be the answer of Greasemonkey Island. I thought it would be shown directly under his Post, but it seems it isn't that way.

Sorry

can i download clips for you tube...

I hardly can't get the videos i want, most of the times the file that shows for download it's a strange file(with nothing) called get_video what's that??And why that happens so many times

Anytime I try to read TMZ blog posts or 'refresh' I get Windows Internet Explorer pop up error "out of memory on line 56".....odd, just happened out of the blue today. I have defragged, checked memory and I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Hi Heather,

It would be great if you could clarify a few things:

• You appear to have used Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 to post your comment here. Is that the browser you were using at the TMZ blog when you encountered this issue? Do you use Flock? If so, which version? (go to help -> about in flock and copy the string there that starts with Mozilla/5.0)
• Do you have Firefox installed? Which versions? What happens when you view the same site in Firefox?
• What's the address for the TMZ blog? is there anything specific you have to do to reproduce the error? can it be reliably reproduced?

Thank you.

The video downloader has worked for me up until about 2 weeks ago and now keeps telling me I have an error - even when I paste the www address into the homepage. I have successfully downlaoded a number of clips from youtube so this is something new.

Yeah, me too, I can't download from youtube lately jsut like the other comments.. Is something wrong? Could it be fixed? O.O

Same here, today it won't let me download, while it always has in the past. I've now added Fast Video Download, which is better for Youtube as no renaming etc as it downloads flv file in its original name.

Ditto... Has youtube plugged a hole?
Error local and on their site...
An update or fix available?

[video.google.com] Error: Not a valid URL (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3563784723686953251&hl=en) always like this. What happened to videodownloader? Should I change or is it YouTube?

Same here...it used to work great. Now I get

[video.google.com] Error: Not a valid URL

same error for me

damn things do not work too good do they? well i'll keep trying different downloaders if i have to. Besides they look like they have one too many steps just to download.

Youtube modified their links to prevent videodownloader and number of other utilities from downloading files.
