Downloading Youtube videos
Apr 24, 2019 12:11:11 #
I have used RealPlayer to download videos from Youtube. However, since yesterday I am unable to do that. When I attempt to download something a message pops up from RealPlayer that says "No videos found at this web address". Does anybody else use RealPlayer to download Youtube videos and are having the same issue. I downloaded something the day before yesterday and had no problems. And I use the free version of RealPlayer. Does anybody know if Youtube did something to prevent videos from being downloaded? I downloaded and reinstalled the RealPlayer app but it didn't help.
I have another program for downloading videos before I went with RealPlayer. When I tried it I got the same message about "no videos".

Have you tried Save From Net? I haven't used it in a while, but it used to work.

I use VLC Media player to download and view YouTube videos. After reading your post I tried three and all successfully downloaded and played.

Thanks for the info. I Googled on how to download videos using VLC and found out how to do it. Or at least how one person does it. A little more involved than using RealPlayer but it did work.I use VLC Media player to download and view YouTube videos.

There is some toing and froing to do, and it is easier with two monitors. I find the quality (especially sound) is much better than copying via movie screen shot (Movavi screen capture) which also works.

I do use two monitors so that helps. It does seem to download the video faster than RealPlayer. I used the free version of RP so I was limited to 5 mb/s download speed. I was thinking of upgrading to the paid version but since it doesn't want to work anymore there is no point in spending the money. I don't use RP for anything other than the Youtube download ability.There is some toing and froing to do, and it is easier with two monitors.

I'm using a MacPro right now, since my PC needs repair. It allows me to save something on youtube to a "reading list." Although it is not saved on my hard drive, it does allow me to recall that particular video. I could also put it in my bookmarks. If I ever wanted to share it I could recall it from either place, copy the location and then paste the location where I wanted to share it. Unfortunately, it doesn't give my the option to "save as" as it does with photos.

After checking again last night it looks like I was a little hasty in saying it seems to download faster. In actuality it is a lot slower, about 5 mb/sec for RealPlayer and less than 2 mb/sec with the VLC. VLC works but it isn't nearly as easy and convenient as RP and is slower to download.I do use two monitors so that helps. It does seem to download the video faster than RealPlayer.

I was hoping somebody would know why RealPlayer doesn't work with downloading Youtube videos anymore. I don't use RP for anything else.

Good news, for me anyway. I tried RealPlayer Downloader again and it looks like it is up and running again.
