Here's a wild idea. Maybe if the downloader program is readily seen as such, it amounts to a not-quite-tacit informal agreement with Youtube? In such a case does it become an "OK, we'll let you do this, but we may put you on a slower channel" sort of thing? Who knows? Youtube is not my thing, so I've got no clues in this corner. Perhaps the UA was randomly chosen, and maybe it doesn't matter. I don't know what their policies are at Youtube. There may not even be any restrictions, other than for their own desires for load management. Can anyone chip in on this?
I do know they don't release software on New Year's Day. That's half of the uniqueness of the UA. The other half is "(Chrome)". Last edited by censored; 30th January 2014 at 05:05 AM. |

I use the Firefox add-on Video DownloadHelper to download and then use mplayer (or vlc) to watch the video.
That way I don't have to leave my browser to get video; I usually use the HTML5 player (which works great on OpenBSD, btw) and only use Video DownloadHelper for those videos that don't have an HTML5 option. As a benefit, it works in places other than YouTube. |

For clarification, the smtube-1.8 diff hasn't been committed yet. So grab the diff off the mailing list for now.

I highly recommend /www/minitube. I have been very successfully watching HD videos on here "some", and having a amazing viewing pleasure without crashes(so far).
Update:**After playing with the setting a while. For my hardware smtube does the job. With far less hicups at 720p. minitube just couldn't handle it.** Last edited by chessmaster; 4th February 2014 at 06:44 AM. |

I would stay far away from gnash as possible. http://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2012-1175/
