[12.20] Unable to download Youtube page source - SOLVED

Post by 40k »

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 fix?

Cheers!

This works well in 12.30 (no "Could Not Find Page" error):

Code: Select all

download "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYywA0cyGBg";

Now that even admin starts to refer to a version 12.30 could somenone please tell me whether I missed some versions somehow????

My current version is still 12.20.0409!!!

So the official releases are not covered in the changelog of the beta's anymore?
A bit inconsistent IMO!
I just saw that 12.10 and 12.20 weren't mentioned either, so as a current beta user I need to check the official homepage too in order to stay up to date?

Yep, exactly. Showing the official version in the beta thread was a concession especially to jc hallgren years ago for a project which is now obsolete. No need to further waste time on this.

Oh - I'm used to go to the beta pages to look for posts and new versions.

Now if official versions will not be mentioned there I will have to check often and often for a new official version - normally just to find there is none.

Don't know how many people do it the same way...

And that was a project for which I greatly regret having to discontinue :cry: mostly due to my eyesight issue which hinders my typing but also was due to the extreme speed at which XY was/is being updated so I was unable to keep up! :oops: I tried as best I could to do it but when I didn't spend time each/every day on it, I fell behind and sometimes didn't have time to catch up due to my summer business obligations. Don, as you hopefully know, I did the best I could under the circumstances...sorry again!
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.

I did not mention it to make you worry. You did a great job in those days. :appl: But today in my uber-optimized hardcore schedule I cannot tolerate atavistic routines. Kanzen applies without mercy.

I was confused, too -- This is how I do it (or did it, now that the release versions aren't posted there any more).

I really liked having a single point of reference for all releases, both beta and final...

If it's up for consideration, I'd really love to have the official releases continue to be posted in the beta forum, please.

Thanks!

Another option is turning "Check for Updates" back on in XYplorer. Of course it will slow XYplorer startups a little bit...
