YourTube: Download YouTube Videos Directly From iPhone’s Native App

Che Castro · 07:44 PM

YourTube is a mod, that will add extra functionality to the native YouTube iPhone App. By installing YourTube, the mod will add a new tab on the bottom bar by which you can access a Download Manager that will allow you to download YouTube videos in High or Low quality, without using MxTube.

The app will be available in Cydia, The mod will be available as an MobileSubstrate extension which means YourTube will be integrated without using too many resources.

From the screenshots below, it seems that the process is pretty simple: tap on a video and choose the High Quality (recommended if you use a WiFi connection) or Low Quality (EDGE/3G network).

Of course!!! Thats the best part. No matter where you are or how strong/weak signal you have, the videos you download will play perfectly

IHateSteveJobs · Jul 28, 2009, 01:32 AM

i can't say i used mxtube much let alone want to save my youtube videos when things stream well

i'll give it a shot though - thank you

another question about a different topic

How do I change the name of an app

I updated the weather channel app and now the name under the icon says "standard"
I would like to change it to weather or something

how can I do this?

sparrky · Jul 28, 2009, 03:41 AM

You can get Rename off Cydia to do that. I haven't tried it with 3.0 so I can't say for sure that it's compatible.

Just got YourTube and it's awesome! I'm surprised it took this long for someone to come up with it. Anyone know if I'd be able to get it on my ipod touch as well, or do I have to pay twice?

iMrNiceGuy0023 · Jul 28, 2009, 04:40 AM

guess I dont need mxtube anymore

I dont even think I have had the need to dload a vide from youtube tho

This is sick!! Thanks for the heads up, it works perfectly.

Stupid question probably, but .....how do you get the videos you just downloaded off youtube and onto your pc/mac?

With Mxtube I used to ssh into /library/mobile etc, but I am not sure where do I go now....

benflick · Jul 28, 2009, 10:03 AM

Too much $ for this amigo.

While I don't usually pay for something I can work around for free (Like using Ymail and TextPlus for SMS messaging), the UI integration of this makes me very tempted. Does anyone know if downloads continue in the background like MxTube? Also, if they do, can anyone see if there is a process running in the background when the app isn't open?

My one problem with MxTube is that even when you're not downloading a file they run a background daemon for downloads. I think that daemon should be killed when downloads are done and spawned when they begin... If this app gets around that then I'm all for it.

one question... how do i delete a downloaded video?? see no option for it.

Same as deleting regular video. Swipe left.

marra2 · Jul 29, 2009, 10:38 PM

Swipe from left to right across the video you want to delete and delete option appears !

For the people who have this now...
