• More reliable recognition of video formats (more videos can be downloaded)

• Full YouTube movies can now be downloaded (with the exception of RTMP-only videos until further notice)

• Support for 720p, 1080p and highres videos if available (Remember to check download quality setting in Preferences!)

• If a video is HD quality, an HD icon is embedded in thumbnails

• Highest available quality is now shown in video detail view

• Preferences window revamped

• More intelligence when picking the correct video URL, which usually results in better media quality

• Download tray: Added estimated remaining time column; added “Copy video URL” popup menu for download items

• Correct popup menu now shows when right right clicking on user name in video detail

Also, I’d like to show a little preview of the video player functionality in the development version:

This version merely extends the software for 90 more days.

The problems due to the format change of YouTube has been solved – version 0.92.3 is now ready for download.

I’m still struggling with getting Tubulator to play nicely with the YouTube format change. I’m removing the download links until resolved – hopefully in a matter of days. My new 9-5 job takes a lot of my time these days, so please be patient.

It seems like YouTube started to encode their videos with Ogg Vorbis on the audio side, which makes audio download fail. I’ll try to fix this during the weekend, and at the same time add some more choices the audio formats.

Have a nice one!

I am currently working on making Tubulator support video playback. Since I am not yet finished with that part, I have uploaded a new version of the application merely extending the expiry date. The version number has not been bumped.

It seems that the download link for the Windows version of Tubulator was broken. This has been fixed.

It took me a day or so to pinpoint the video download problem, caused by a change on the YouTube site.

The problem is fixed in version 0.92.1, which is now ready for download!

It seems like YouTube changed their video URL format, making Tubulator (and probably many other YouTube downloaders) spit out an error message on download. I’m currently trying to find a workaround. Hopefully I’m able to make a new version in a day.

I am removing the download links until this has been resolved.

Here’s what’s new in v. 0.92:

- Paging! Search results are no longer limited to 200 YouTube videos, and you can now navigate forth and back in the results, 50 videos at a time.

- Error feedback dialog now only shown if an unexpected or serious error, otherwise just normal error message

- A few more checks for null pointers here and there

- Color scheme for Windows made more consistent

- Corrected an error at startup ocurring in special cases

- Downloads tray: A queued item can now be removed

- Downloads tray: A cancelled or faulty download can now be retried

- Error caused by attempting to download a non-existing video is now gracefully handled

- A Universal build of FFmpeg is now used, so Tubulator will work on PPC Macs too. Thanks to http://go.to/osxffmpegcompiling !
