1390762 2014-12-22 21:31:00 xbmc/kodi running on vista.
The youtube downloader will play videos but won't download any.
Used to work fine on gotham, then developed this problem.
So updated to kodi but same problem.
Has youtube put the brakes on down loads?
I have searched xbmc & kodi forums but can't find a solution.

1390764 2014-12-22 23:16:00 Yes there are many other 3rd party programs that could be used but most have other agendas as well. Driftwood (5551)
1390765 2014-12-23 01:26:00 The only one I've found that will download in proper 1080p at the moment is the 'Easy YouTube Video Downloader Express' addin for Firefox. It's up to version 7.37 now, and works pretty well. wratterus (105)
1390766 2014-12-23 03:05:00 savemedia.com or keepvid.com
Do it all from the browser as a Java applet. No "downloadin".

1390767 2014-12-23 04:45:00 Thanks for that advice guys but I would still like to know why the xbmc downloader no longer works. Driftwood (5551)
1390768 2014-12-23 19:40:00 youtube constantly changes their code which usually breaks the download ability of many apps. If xbmc is not maintained to keep up with the changes, then you cant use it to download.

Some free apps that will grab YT vids:
YouTube Downloader HD
4k Video Downloader
