Now that version 1.2.5 has overcome the recent changes at YouTube (HURRAY FOR JOE!) there remains one problem that can make Seatubes appear not to work. This is when a video in a list you have created has either been yanked from the YouTube site (typically for copyright infringement) or it has a warning connected with it that requires some action before can view it. When Seatubes runs into one of these videos it simply stops. It gives no error message. It is up to you to figure out what is going on. Hopefully Joe will at least provide an error message when this occurs (hint hint).
Examples:
(1) I had a list of Appallin' Palin videos to laugh at in my old age. One of them was from Saturday Night Dead of Tina Fey's brilliant portrayal. I had saved the list then came back to it another day. During the duration, NBC had the video yanked because of copyright infringement. This video was at the top of my Seatubes list. So when I asked Seatubes to download the entire list, it did nothing. It just sat there. So I deleted the Tina Fey video and now the list worked fine.
(2) As a total Pink Floyd addict I wanted to download the orgy scene from the film Zabriskie Point. ;-) But darn! Seatubes was downloading a list for me then stopped dead at that video! So I copied out the URL from Seatubes then deleted it from the list, hit the Download button again and all was well. I then took the URL over to Firefox to use the DownloadHelper extension to grab it. Aha, "This video or group may contain content that is inappropriate for some users". So I hit the "Confirm Birth Date" button, up it came and the grabbing commenced, of the video that is.
