Hi, Some youtube videos can't be downloaded, no option to download appears and they play in the browser window.

Others can be downloaded just fine with the option window appearing.

Make sure you're running the current build of MC19.  There have been changes to YouTube recently that required updates in MC.  I'm not sure if all videos are working now, though, so you could have just found an example that is still not working.

That video isn't available for me in a browser.  Maybe that's the issue?

That video isn't available for me in a browser.

Yup.  Me either:

That's because you are outside of the UK. It is available to me. I am running 19.0.82
Do either of you have access to a UK VPN server?

I wonder if the YouTube downloading is being handled by a JRiver server somewhere rather than in the application itself. That might explain why content which is restricted in the US is not working.
 
It's not.

I am pretty sure it is the clients that do the downloading of the videos.

Of course, but I wonder if extracting the download url is handled by going through a JRiver server somewhere.
 
Nope.

Ahh I see, well I guess we need the devs to explain.

I wonder if the YouTube downloading is being handled by a JRiver server ...

No.  It isn't.

[6233638]

No.  It isn't.

Thanks for the clarification. Any idea why region-locked content isn't working?

[rossp]

The video is not available in the UK now either.....
