YourTube: Download YouTube Videos Directly From iPhone’s Native App

[IBradMac]

I did. Absolutely zero point in having it, if you've stumped up the collossal & scandalous $2 for this great app extension.

I removed MX tube but I can still see the videos when I SSH into my phone. Weird? The icon is gone and I uninstalled it from Cydia. What gives?

Anyways, this app is definitely worth $2.

Has anyone tried to see if it lets you run downloads in the background or leaves any always running processes?

(My wall of text didn't get any response so I am going direct , haha)

The videos are stored in a directory on your phone and definitely wouldn't get removed when you uninstall. Most people would want that so they could keep those videos. If you want to remove them you can delete them via SSH or copy them to your computer first with SFTP, DataCase or something.

When you download videos can you exit Youtube and will they continue to download?

I can't believe that in a month nobody in this thread has tried...

I was searching all day today and couldn't find that answer so i tried it myself.

Yourtube doesn't download in the background, once you exit the download either stops (or restarts?) but it does work in the background only if you use backgrounder.

Edit: The download will fail if it's backgrounded and goes to sleep.

Thanks. Very cool app, but don't think I'll get it.

I too had the same problem transfering files via DiskAid 3.1 and I finally found the solution, but here is the rub...I used the Cydia app Ifile ($1.99 on cydia but worth the price...no I am not the maker of ifile) to copy and paste all the yourtube videos to a folder I made on /mobile/library/downloads/yourtube vids then you have to rename them either with DiskAid, or within iFile deleting all characters and including the ":" in the filename. I think it is for 2 reasons, 1 windows won't allow : in the filename, and 2 probably for the same reason within Diskaid. I hope in your and other peoples case you don't have as many vids as I did (101) to rename because it is SLOW going. After I renamed all the files I just Dragged and Dropped my Yourtube vids folder to my comp and after 15 minutes all my files were on my comp. Hope that helped.

oh and p.s. it is possible to just rename them within the yourtube folder (again with DiskAid or ifile) if you are about to do a firmware update or format your iphone, as the directory structure of yourtube won't let you play the vids after you renamed them within yourtube. It still shows the file within youtube as a thumbnail but doesn't play the vids.

Has anyone else been having problems using the YourTube extension after updating to the new MobileSubstrate? I'm not even sure if that's the problem, all I know is that I've been unable to download any videos.
