Flashgot cannot download videos from some pages of YouTube, such as this:
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=Sho ... iew=videos
When I use CTRL+F2 or CTRL+F3, Flashgot capture the links, and passes it on to the FreeDownLoadManager. The FDM downloads the "watch" files and analyses each of these "watch" files. They get converted into the actual flv file. But at this point, the FDM reports unknown server error and stops downloading.
CTRL+F2 and CTRL+F3 work with many other websites, though. Only some pages in YouTube are problematic.
If I launch the individual YouTube page, and play the movie, FlashGot senses the streaming media and shows a flashing icon in the status bar. I can click on it and pass on the link to FDM. In this mode, FDM can capture the movie.
I am facing this issue since multiple (latest) versions. Earlier versions used to be OK.
(But probably this is because the youtube introduced some lock)

Oops!
FDM reports "Unknown Network error", not "Unknown server error".

Re: Unknown server error at Youtube
Looks like a FDM issue, rather than a FlashGot one. The "analyze" part is done by FDM, as you said, and that's what's failing.
