hi guest,

to your comments:

1. ñ is a funny character. What happens is that Windows EditBox returns it as simple n. Consequently, the search link for youtube contains renaca and not reñaca. When you put reñaca into filter, it also returns to the program as renaca - because it comes from an editbox. The title of the YT video of course doen not contain renaca - so it is skipped. I cannot do much about it - any ideas would help...

2. YT search 1st page does not contain the video you mentioned (Albert Einstein on Gandhi). It is probably in the consequtive pages. That's why you dont get this video downloaded. Either search for "einstein gandhi" or you can check "follow search pages" to check not only the first search page.

I hope it helps.

cheers,
fures

I don't know. Try it or help me to get a good link to try it from. Use the appropriate file extension (.swf I think).

tell me what you got.

i just put in the link list the search for "albert einstein" in YT, and i search in the riper tree for all skipped files, the first skipped file that appears to me is this link, he is the 4ºlink in riper tree to me..
I open the link in my browser to see if the name match with filter


maybe other users can do this test, just look for names with will come back with large number of results, and look for skkiped files in riper tree, then open the link in a browser to see if the names match with name in the filter

(i test four times here, in all the tests the script skip files with correct names in filter) maybe is just me

YEAAAAAH! I see what you mean. it will take a bit of time to hunt for the bug. I'll be back then.

UPDATE
version 5.6.3



How about it now?
By the way, thanx for testing it.

fures

i will test the new version, thx fures


another suggestions may help some people, like me


1- allow "copy" in riper tree, to copy the links, helps to see what happening, like pasting links in browser...

2- Add a option like "make these sentings default"

(every time i open the script i have to set the same sentings over and over)


thx fures the script is keeping better and better

3- in riper tree, make default expanded links

resuming other posts...


1- maybe with mouse right click:

Copy this link to clipboard
open this link with default browser ( i use firefox )
force this file download ( for files with dosent match with filter)

(this is very helpfull if you want to garantee the download of all files that may interest you)





2- Add a option like "make these sentings default" (to all settings)

3- in riper tree, make default expanded links

thx again

A major UPDATE:
version 5.7

All above requests are done:
- Context menu in the ripping tree (Copy, Open)
- save as Default Settings
- ripper tree management on the fly - in the ripper tree tab (Collaps, Select)

Plus, I'm very happy I could solve the 'lagging/responsiveness' issue:
I've put the YouTube high quality check (using HttpQueryInfo) into a separate program-thread - because that halted the gui response while checking online.

Now you can enjoy a fully responsive gui.

fures

UPDATE
version 5.8

- Now you can ripp flash games too (.swf inserted as data=xyz.swf)

WOW...txh fures!

its getting better and better!!


Lag problems eliminated!!!

save settings is very helpfull!!


------------------------------------------------

I think i know why some times the filter exclude some files to me,
I think is connection lag/timeout issues, because some times the script filter exclude a file... I start over and the script dowload the file correctly

1- So if you can add "force download" in ripper tree, for files was excluded, is became very helpfull

2 - I find another issue with YT files, some files was tagged "adult", so before the video opens you have to confirm your age, and the script shows - NO file-extension found in html content

In YousableTubeFix for Greasemonkey (plugin for firefox) have an a option:

Automatically bypass age verification (logged in users)

If you can add this feature in the script i appreciate


thx

Hey fures..
Thanks again for the wonderful program.

I had another script, and like your earlier version of the script, my script faces non-responsive times (?lag) when using the internet functions.. how did you solve the issue.. could you please guide me..

Thanks in advance.

@guest
force download function is very complicated to implement because it is against all the logic of multi screening. sorry, I have no idea how to do it at the moment, but you can always try to implement it yourself.

@shajul
I do not use URLDownloadToFile or HTTPQueryInfo in the main script. I use a second separate sript to do the online stuff. I pass the link to the second script in command line parameter and get the result either as a file or as content in a hidden window. This way I can manage multiple downloads at the same time (now max 16 in VidRipper). The best would be to make a function-wrapper to handle all of this:
- Starting separate download script
- Monitoring running
- Get results
- Close when done

I hope it helps.
Let me know if you need more clarification.

fures

thanks very much.. that seems to be the best solution. for me, it would mean distributing two (compiled) files now instead of one..

YouTube has changed - so has the script...
And now
version 6.0 (.ahk and .exe)
works with new YT structure.

cheers
