How do I change the location for saved youtube downloads?
« on: October 19, 2008, 06:19:39 am »

hi,

I am not sure that this is a MC12 related but I give a shot :)

How do I change the location for saved youtube downloads?
currently it goes to a c:\my documents....
I'd like it to be in my library files location something like d:\Media Center\Video\YouTube\<file>

I've spent well over an hour trying to figure out how to change the location for downloaded Youtube videos and I just can't figure it out. It saves them to my C drive which is full , and I want them saved to another drive I have which has plenty of space.

If it's not possible to change the download location for Youtube videos- then say so.

If it is possible- then explain how.

I found a post from over a year ago that kind of explains this...

I can't get the "download video" prompt to appear anymore- I changed the options to "play video" or something like that- and I can't remember how to get the options to appear again so that I can attempt downloading.

Can someone please tell me what keys to punch again?

I think it was Ctl something.

Thanks a lot.

But to explain it in more detail...

When you click on the YouTube video and it prompts you about what to do with it, it asks you where you want to save it to. If you've checked the box labeled "Keep using this answer (hold Ctrl while clicking a link to get choices again)" then you won't get this prompt and you'll have to... hold Ctrl while clicking a link to get choices again. Then you can pick a new location.

In MC13, you can choose the location.  See attached image.
