The script has been broken and a fix has been made but is not the same as before

Read and re-install the script from here

ok I figured out the coding thanks to Rick/Alex but in the end it doesn’t work anyway. Nice way to waste an hour…

This sucks. How do you take the code and make it into a bookmarklet? How could he leave that out??

Nothing worked for me, but.. guess what: just copy the URL in jdownloader and it will download the HQ-temp file, convert it to mp4 and you have the best available quality. simple.

Thanks for this. I found Alex’s post to be the best with the 3 different bookmarklets.

Someone asked about how to just get “HQ” (it’s just MP4):
FLV = low quality (.flv file)
MP4 = HQ (med) quality (.mp4 file)
HD = HD (high) quality (still .mp4 file)

The problems most people are seeing here are probably typos that must be fixed (you can’t just cut and paste). In Alex’s post, you have to copy the code to a text editor and replace the apostrophes (4 in each) with single quotes – look carefully since they almost look exactly the same.

To create a bookmarklet, just find out how to create a plain new bookmark in your browser. You can name it whatever you want, then use the posted code above, starting with “javascript…” (with typos corrected), for the address (url). Try the new bookmarklet in the window with the video. If you are getting errors in your javascript console window, then you still have typos to fix. Otherwise the file should auto-download.

Hope that helps.

I’m trying to use it with Google Chrome, and its not working.
Is it that chrome doesn’t support it?

What an absolute and utter waste of time. Learn how to do something properly before posting crappy scripts on the net.

Dumb question: HOW do I install the bookmarklet? I’m not familiar with it.
