i hope i can explain this correctly
in flashgot 1.5.6.5 everything was working correctly
when i was downloading from a flash video site it was taking video name from that header or description of video site
example: spartakus_season5_episode4_blabla.mp4

now with latest patches it just takes the file name fron the source of that video site vk.me or mail.ru
example:sp342353.mp4

it is quite disturbing this renaming issue breaks all flash videos renaming

May I see an actual example with URLs (you can PM or email me, if you prefer)?
Did you try downgrading to check whether it's actually a regression or a website change?
Thank you!

sorry these sites are in turkish you will just have to click "reklami gec" link to reach these streaming videos

when i try to download this with old version of flashgot
the name of streaming video file is
The_orginals_2_sezon_2_bolum_720p.mp4 (whatever host i choose same name it just picks header of linker webpage)

when i try new version of flashgot it is
originaller2x2hdsi_5141.mp4 (if i download from mailru)
video_ext_d1fb.mp4 (if i choose vk.me etc)

Thats because I modified MediaSniffer to get the video title from the stream document (e.g. embed iframe) and not the top window. This version has the old behavior y default: Those who want the new behavior, set flashgot.media.use_iframe_title to true.

Also, it can group parsed YouTube streams by video, for pages like this one. Grouping is disabled by default. When enabled, right-clicking a video group menu item will copy the video title and link to clipboard. Related preferences:
flashgot.media.YouTube.group - boolean - whether to group streams by video: true = group, false = don't.
flashgot.media.YouTube.group.title_max_length - integer - maximum video title length to use for menu item labels. Default is 40.

Thank you!

so here is what has to be done for less experienced users
you type as browser url about:config
add a new boolen by right clicking

for the name type flashgot.media.use_iframe_title
then choose false

thanks so much for the help

Please check latest development build 1.5.6.8.rc1, thank you.

This is unnecessary because the pref is false by default.

Sorry, I messed up again, this time when merging. Forgot to merge one line in MediaSniffer.js. The good news is that nobody will notice it because it's related to the new title behavior and happens in just one specific case, namely, with YouTube DASH streams (only SWF player uses them). And since that behavior is off by default and no one reads the forums/release notes, no one will ever turn it on. :) And you don't really need the entry for the use_iframe_title pref in flashgot.js since it's false by default - see MediaSniffer.js, line 337. Anyway, here's the fixed version:

I meant flashgot.media.YouTube.group.enabled.
