Great tool ! I am giving it a try now.
I can add Youtube videos to a usernamed group, let's say "Photoshop Tutorials" - in that case, BYTubedD reports it can't find URLs. (account->video manager). However when I add videos to the standard group 'favorites', and go to Account/Videomanager, rightclick on favorites, then BYTubeD can download the files.
Correct?
=
Later: to clarify the above...
so once adding videos to a playlist, one can add them to a userdefined playlist, which will show up under account/video manager/playlist. Downloading from there BYTubedD will report: "No Youtube links were found on this page".

Thanks RAM. Most likely I am doing something wrong then...
I proceed as follows: when on YouTube I hoover over the image of a videoclip. a [+] sign shows up. I click on that. From that point there are two possibilities: A box shows up: Add to 'favorites' (Default), or in the same box: add to new playlist. When I select 'Add to new playlist' I can then define a name.
Okay, let's say: I add a few videos to favorites and a few to my 'own playlist', I named that Photoshop Tutorials.
Then I go to my account>Video manager. At the left side, I can select items like playlist, history, favorites, etc.
I click on Playlist, then right from that button a list shows up with the clips I saved. Sofar so good :-)

Now here is the difference...

When I RMB-click on Playlist and select the context menu BYTubeD - I get this 'No Youtube links were found'.

When I RMB-click on Favorites and select the context menu BYTubeD - I can download them, no problem.

I tried this over and over, same effect.

This is by no means criticism, nor do I want to sound impolite to you!!
(pls don't take it wrong, okay?)

Okay RAM - I understand. When I click on Playlist, the URL box shows : https://www.youtube.com/view_all_playlists.
The trick is that opening the playlist, but then a new screen is opened and the video is being played, one by one.

How do you open the playlist without the videos being played and then invoke BYTubeD.

So, I am in Video Manager
Left side: [Playlists] - middle [a few images shown of the videos stored] right side [Edit]
(the url shown https://www.youtube.com/view_all_playlists)
In Edit mode, same error.

Think I will stick to saving to favorites :-))
I have it - I guess...
From Video Manager - play all
Then first video will start to play
At the bottom there is horizontal box of the playlist (let's say it is named Photoshop)
Above the images there is a bar, thee is a title of the playlist (Photoshop)
Click on that one, new screen will appear, Photoshop, Channel of <accountname>
and there is button then "Play All",
RMB on Play all !

Phewww... :-)

Won't work (download or list mode) if HTTPSEverywhere is enabled for YouTube and ytimg. It will just sit there, with the green bare sliding across the status, and never do anything. If you temporarily disable HTTPSEverywhere, then BYTubeD will work.

Please see if you can fix BYTubeD so that it is not necessary to disable HTTPSEverywhere.

Thank you.

Hello! thanks for your so impressive add-on!
Here is my issue:

I'm a chinese user, you know that we face to the internet block so we have to use lots of tools to

break it, I'm now using the google "goagent" proxy within pale moon(based on firefox) 12 browser in

win7 x64. BYTubeD is the latest version 1.08.

No matter the video which I want is single or multiple when I use the BTTubeD the result is always :
"Failed to generate download links"
And "The Reason for failure" is:
"Didn't get enough time to process the request!"

It nearly makes me mad for I spent many time to try to solve it but still failed.
Hope your saving!

i get the 403 error return each time i download a bunch of videos from youtube users, but only about 50% of all videos get it , weirdly

any explanation?

i rebooted my router, but no change, maybe i gotta unplug it and start up new, other than that ...

I am getting following error message while clicking on BytubeD and not able to download "There was some problem while I was doing my job.
Please consider reporting this problem to my boss.

If you say "OK", then a mail window will be opened,
if you already have a mail client configured.

jan kraemer · 618 weeks ago

hi is there a way once you created the download links to have the normal youtube links for that list ? cause those links expire just too fast all the time and its so time consuming to go back and looking for all the youtube links, maybe even with the help of an extra tool , anything
