        <title>Youtube plugin problems</title>
        <description> Hi,

FRD Version - 0.9u4

Youtube plugin version : 2.9.16

Sample Link: [www.youtube.com]

There are 2 problems with the youtube plugin:

Problem 1: For most of the links these days, including this link, the download just does not start immediately with the error message : &quot;ERROR - Player js url not found&quot;
I need to press resume multiple times before the download starts.

Problem 2: For some videos, including this link, the 'Preferred Quality Level of highest available' does not seem to work.
This link is a 1080p video but on this setting - 'Preferred Quality Level of highest available', FRD is downloading a 640 x 360 video.

Please fix it.</description>

&gt; <br />
&gt; I also face this problem for last 1 week. <br />
&gt; I could able to download after several trial. <br />
&gt; <br />
&gt; BUT today, I can't download any link from YouTube<br />
&gt; even after several attempts.<br />
------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
My problem is not solved. <br />
<br />
The new YT Plugin 2.9.17 is not automatically downloaded to my FRD. <br />
When I tried manually download it from 'Help', I always get the message, <br />
<b>"Checking for new version failed. Failed to connect to remote server".</b>]]></description>

&gt; Hello.<br />
&gt; <br />
&gt; I do need to inform again that the YouTube plugin<br />
&gt; has become virtually unusable.<br />
&gt; <br />
&gt; In almost all of the links, I keep getting the<br />
&gt; message - "ERROR - Player js url not found" - and<br />
&gt; FRD will not download the link without resuming<br />
&gt; teh downloads 4-5 times.<br />
&gt; <br />
&gt; Have a look please.<br />
<br />
<br />

&gt; Problem 2: For some videos, including this link,<br />
&gt; the 'Preferred Quality Level of highest available'<br />
&gt; does not seem to work.<br />
&gt; This link is a 1080p video but on this setting -<br />
&gt; 'Preferred Quality Level of highest available',<br />
&gt; FRD is downloading a 640 x 360 video.<br />
&gt; <br />
&gt; Please fix it.<br />
<br />
Hello :-)<br />
<br />
Youtube have withdrawn the standalone 720p HD streams for most of their copyrighted content, only the standalone 360p variant remaining available... <br />
<br />
The higher resolution variants (480p/720p/1080p+) are of the MPEG-DASH format, whereby two separate media streams (1 video + 1 audio) are being served to the client... You have to explicitly enable the DASH streams inside the yt plugin's options to fetch these... For instance, the following settings (see attachment) will get me a 720p MP4 file of your yt link!]]></description>
