Youtube audio download - bitrate

Post by ShakaZ2005 »

I just noticed a big change concerning download of audio from youtube videos.
A few days ago flashgot would still offer full video & audio and separate video or audio at different bitrates and formats.
Now there are only two options vidoe or audio without any quality or format choices available.
Did Youtube change something or is this related to a change in flashgot?

Nevermind, I had this for 3 videos in a row, but the next one does offer the same options as before.
I hope this is not a symptom of an ongoing change, but that things will remain as is :mrgreen:

With YouTube, I wouldn't count on that.

Care to share the URLs of those 3? Or check if you're still not getting the usual list?

Try this one :

The current song and previous one have limited options instead of the DASH submenu with separate audio & video at different bitrates

This is what I get in Nightly and in SeaMonkey. Can you test with this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msSmBR2EOwE ? If it doesn't have "Available formats" either, most likely your issue is the signature decoder, in which case I'll need your FlashGot log (FlashGot Options -> Advanced -> Log (at the bottom) -> uncheck the Disable checkbox.

The video you posted shows available formats. Looks like a hit or miss..
Could it be that the available formats don't show up & get locked away if I right-click the icon when the video loads & flashgot hasn't downloaded all options yet?
Anyhow here's the log in case it helps : http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=827 ... 9251967597

Yeah, the log looks fine. At least the signature decoder works.
As for right-clicking too soon, yes, it's possible, but querying streams info usually doesn't take long - a few seconds tops.
