youtube type of file?

Post by darksydestef »

What is the type of file of youtube videos when you download using flashgot. There is no file extension, for example .flv or .mp4. However if rename the file it works but i just wanted to know how to fix this. Because when i use another add on it downloads youtube files as .flv and while using flash got it doesnt. It's just plain file, no extension or anything.

That's strange, because if you use the "FlashGot Media" feature the file name is correctly extrapolated for me with the Built In download manager, e.g. on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPBNoaWPIjc I get a 1.5 MB file named "Gaffe___Lapsus_di_Berlusconi_sui_giudici_videoplayback.flv".
Could you link a specific Youtube page where you're noticing your problem?

But are you actually using FlashGot Media (the flashing orange film icon on the status bar)?
