Ant Video Downloader - Bugging me!

Post by eager to learn »

Hi,

I downloaded and installed Ant Video Downloader 2.4.7.1 to my FF 3.6.18.

I then surfed to a youtube video to save.

I clicked save and it saved it on the hard drive.

However, it did not play at all clicking the Tab - Player on the FF extension. The error message was "Task que failed out Step 4: view setup failed: error #2028".

I'm not sure what that means?

Thank you.

No idea, but I have been using the extension Video Downloadhelper, and that works for me.

That error message seems to be related to Flash security settings. Very long discussion here, but I think the gist of it is that the video can only be played on YouTube and although you can download it it's disabled from playing from your hard drive: http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/fo ... xternal-vi

I didn't seem to receive any e-mail notices for your replies and I'm just checking back tonight. Sorry about that.

There seems to be several complaints about the extension Video Downloadhelper in this forum although I have not tried it.

Now, when I download a video it downloads fine but when I try to play it in VLC Media Player it just sits there. Now matter what I do - click Play, Open File, Play, etc. the downloaded video just sits there.

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with Easy You Tube Video Downloader?

I'm just trying to find a video downloader which consistently works.

Thank you.
