Youtube Downloader

I'm ending up with a videoplayback.txt file instead of the .mp4. My guess is that Google changed scheme and broke this, can anyone confirm?

Still works for me

Thanks robertirish. I believe the key is to NOT have the official YouTube app installed. After deleting it the script works again for me.

Trying to get this to work with VLC since it has a download capabilities. The vlc:// will cause it to launch vlc, open the player like it's going to play the video, then it says Playback Failed and I'm left without the file. I don't really know what else to do with the vlc url scheme, as far as implementing it in the script goes, or if it even can for sure work. Trying to find some more documentation on VLCs url scheme. If anybody has a solution to work it with VLC though, that would be great. Or if anybody knows of other apps, besides iDownloads and GoodReader that it works with. I don't know how much experimenting you all have done with it. I wish I could use it with Documents, but Vittici's post about this said it didn't work and I've never found any info before about url schemes for Readdle apps.

https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=112372 is one month old from the VLC Lead Developer for IOS and Mac. It looks like vlc:// is only for remote files and streams but not for files that are already present in the VLC app for iOS.
Can you provide us the full URL that you are trying to use?

I was replacing iDownloads:// (I think that's what is originally used) in the script with vlc://, per instructions in a MacStories article about the script, the link for which I don't have on hand. But it is talking about using other apps like Documents or GoodReader. Though he mentions Documents doesn't seem to be able to download that. It says to replace the original scheme with, for the GoodReader example, ghttp:// . I despise GoodReader, but if necessary, I can just go with the one originally used in the script. Just thought it would be nice to be able to use VLC. But I guess I should have clarified that previously. Apologies and thanks for the response. Cheers!

@omz Would it be possible to lock this thread? It seems to be quite the spam magnet, and there has been no real activity in 4 years.

@dgelessus Good idea.
