> It can detect them

I'm not seeing them, not 1080's, mp4?
Are they even there, at all, at 1080 mp4?

By "it can" I meant it's possible in general, not that it does detect them _now_. As for where the streams are, look at dashmpd or adaptive_fmts.

Any idea of how hard would be tracking and muxing them at the end of the download in JavaScript?

Whoops, now it's detecting them fine again. I dunno what's wrong previously.. maybe YT was being sluggish or something.

Sorry for false alarm.

Well, in theory, tracking the download completion shouldn't be hard: in the new API (that moronic Promise junk in FF 26) you can pass a completion callback to the download's start() method, and in the current API we have nsIWebProgressListener. In practice, there're browser restarts. As for writing a muxer, it's not hard, just very time-consuming - the spec is huge (and that's all I can remember as it was ages ago the last time I touched it). The hardest part (for me at least) would be to pretend there're no tools (like ffmpeg) that can do it better and faster.

Well, when the necessity arises we could propose user to download and "install" on the fly our own private, static and platform specific static ffmpeg build and use it :)

More and more Youtube videos are only appearing in 720p for me. Like this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH7WgtuUZVA

Yep, my flashgot is having a problem detecting 480p, 720p (webm), 360p (flv). The problem seems worse in newer videos even though they have had time to render in these formats as I can watch them embedded on youtube.
The problem started 3-4 weeks ago but then the above formats weren't detected on ANY youtube video (old or newish). Your 1.5.5.94 update seemed to fix this temporarily.
The problem detecting streams has started again and seemed to coincide with the new FF 25 update.
I've tried deleting cookies, starting with other addons disabled and have reset FF and reinstalled flashgot to no avail.

I get 6 different formats on this one (Firefox 25, FlashGot 1.5.5.94).
Does your problem happen on a clean profile with just FlashGot installed?
Adobe Flash version?

I also think something changed again: for what I could see, at least for videos uploaded after November 1 whose maximum quality available is 480p, Flashgot doesn't detect the Webm-480p anymore. For videos uploaded before November, Flashgot still detects it. It's not a huge problem, but since Webm-480p files seem to have a better quality image than the flv-480p files, it would be great if Flashgot could detect it again. Thanks and keep up the good work ;)

I get NOTHING on this with my current "dirty" profile. Not even a flashgot icon. Flashgot 1.5.5.94, Adobe Flash 11.9 r900

I do also get 6 different formats too. But none of them is 1080p/MP4

And yes I do just have FlashGot installed... No "Script blocker" or anything... "Clean profile"... What's that?
