Anyone know if there is a timeout value in seconds for the readurl function? I'm getting seemingly random "download failed" errors in my scripts that use readurl(). Often when I try a second or third time the script works as intended. I'm on a dodgy ADSL connection in Southern Europe right...

I may have missed something as we do have portable file associations.
Can Explorer also do portable file icons?

The issue I see here is that variables are not carried over. I'm not a big fan of writing swap files to disks since it introduces one more point of failure usually related to read/write access restrictions. It would be awesome if one instance of Xyplorer could access the memory space from another in...

Thanks Marco, it worked very well. However, since you used "replacelist" in lieu of the "regex", and as you noted the last 2 lines can be removed, if they are removed, you have to change the new last line to: $g_Title = replacelist($Title, "/,\,:,*,?,<,>,|", "&quo...

Hi Marco, your remarks will be incorporated in the next version (with credit!)

The file name issues should be gone in the next update. I wrote the code for getting the file name rather quickly and so it's a bit sloppy. I'm probably also going to re-introduce VLC as an optional addition to the script . I've opened a thread on the "Bug Reports" forum about the 100mb fi...

i find this youtube download xyplorer script excellent. while downloading the video, xyplorer is not being minimized as the script is running? can we do download videos on background using this script, so that xyplorer's minimize, maximize and other options are available to the user. Yeah that's a ...

:appl: Llittle remark(s): - there are replacement that are not strict regular expressions. I suspect a "standard" replace() / replacelist() could be better in terms of performance and readability. urldecode() also might be your friend (esp lines 19 to 27) - you could write $Database with ...

The file should show up in the directory from where the script is activated. Perhaps I should change this to something like user/downloads or perhaps allow the user to select a default directory

Version 0.3 is up!

Hi Don,

I've just updated my Youtube script (http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9396)

The current download limit is 100mb. As a result the script often can not download 720p/1080p HD videos. Any chance you can remove this limitation?

Cheers!

Have you tried clearing out your Lists? (Tools > List Management)

So I just discovered it is possible to download Youtube videos using the readurl script function. No VLC, just pure Xyplorer. Mind = blown. This will only work for downloading the full video as you still need a demuxer to get the audio or video track separate. It also looks like I will have to regex...

Many thanks again Marco.

Don, Xyplorer throws error #0 Could Not Find Page when attempting to download a Youtube page with URL such as: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYywA0cyGBg I was hoping the download command would download the source code of that page which I need to regex out some meta data. Any chance this is an easy...
