[Q] youtube Downloaders disappearing off market?

Anyone know of any working youtube downloaders? Seems the ones I have used in the past are all pulled from the market (Freedi was best but they went all Chinese or something ....Youtube Ripper is gone also..along with another one I used whos name escapes me atm)
Are there being deemed warez also and google is facing some legal issues with having them, or am I just blind?
If they are ok to post, could someone please shoot me an apk or a link somewhere to an actual working program?
Thanks in advance!!
Er should be titled TRIED, not tired...but hell I am tired come to think of it lol

I have no Android solution, but I use YouTubeDownloader on the PC & it works great.

Sorry man. I got nothing. I can help if you want a pornhub downloader though lol.

Yes, they do seem to all be disappearing with no rhyme or reason. I have TubeMate 0.9.10 on my phone, here's the APK:
http://db.tt/oM8POF6
And you should probably change your title to something like "YouTube apps disappearing from market?".

ack thank ya for the linky and LOL @ porn ...That actually cracked me up thank you\
Changed title

First off, I need that Porntube downloader please!
Secondly, all the Youtube downloaders are disappearing because Youtube wants you to come to THEIR site to see the videos, not download them and save them. Youtube makes money off advertising when you visit and click stuff, they don't make anything if you download the videos.
That said, I like Jet VD myself. It lets you pick the quality etc and works VERY well. Unfortunately, it was just removed from the market the other day. I'll post the .apk when I get home though, it's free anyway.
That or try googling it.

hey hey hey!

It would be great if you would post it, as I can't seem to find it anywhere.

JetVD is about the best I've seen.

Freedi is the best, I use it myself. It appears to be in Chinese, lol. But after you download it you can change the language and what country your in. Hope this helps.

New Native Youtube app by HTC

If you guys haven't gotten it yet...get it! Awesome app! It allows watching Youtube vids in HQ even on 3G! =D HTC got it right!

So is this a HTC only app?

I honestly don't know. It's definitely an HTC made app, but it doesn't appear under HTC Apps in the the Marketplace, it appears in the general apps section.

not finding this in marketplace, still can only find the basic youtube app and the one by lazyworm.

Not yet. My HD7 is resting peacefully while my HD2 gets to use the sim card. Once I've had my fill of HD2 goodness, I will boot up the crown jewel for a luxury ride and install the app.

Here's some screenshots...Sorry for the crappy shots, but you get the point...

doesnt appear in the european market

thanks for posting it. Wonder why I can't find it on my hd7. I'll keep looking.
for all y'all looking for it, try going to marketplace/ apps/ music and video/ free. It was the first one there, but I couldn't find it by searching.

No prob. I just went into Apps then sideswiped to new and it was about 10 apps down, under Holy Bible. Correction, 1 app after that, between GPS4Me and Soniccasting.

Have you looked under HTC apps? Or maybe search HTC Youtube.

didn't show up under search.
Now if it only allowed you to login to see your subscribed videos....
Much higher quality video over data and wifi and it shows the lighter color download bar as well so you know if its gonna buffer.

Not to mention being able to touch the point in video you want to see.

The decision to let hardware makers customise only by individual apps is starting to pay off. The fact that HTC are the only ones to have a native YouTube app (which imo is a stupid thing to leave out of the OS, but only cause I use YouTube a lot) is making me strongly lean towards one of their devices over samsung

The thing is, all WP7 phones can use HTC apps. The Hub is available not only for HTC phones, but also Samsung and LG.

I didn't think that was true. Each OEM has their own apps, like htc has the only flashlight app that uses the flash of the camera.

Great find OP! Now only if someone would come out with tune-in radio app for WP7.

Watch ESPN app

Is this available for Android? I saw this on sports center this morning and cant find it in the market. I googled it and it seems it may only be for the Iphone. Any info would be great!

Nope, not yet anyway... seems to be iDevice exclusive, at least for now.

Sprint TV does just this, and its free.

if I recall correctly, the Watch ESPN app is for watching ESPN3 content, which streams a lot more than the ESPN stream on Sprint TV

Watch Espn
It was up for about a week earlier in may (I had it on an atrix), but it appears to have been removed (I had to re-flash, and didn't back it up)... The application was a bit buggy, it would force close when trying to change the channel and the colors would come in off (like watching an old, 1980's style 3-D movie without the glasses), so i'm guessing that they're looking to re-tool it

It looks like it's back. At least this morning it was available for download, but unfortunately I don't meet the qualifying standards to stream anything (Fios, Comcast, etc.)
I hesitate to ask, bc I don't know what XDA considers legit or not anymore, but does anyone have a way to hack this app? If that's illegal, and some of you policing this stuff feel like going nuts on me, hold back, and just say it's not going to be done here.
But, if like the Netflix hacks, the Hulu hacks, the old NFL mobile hack, and every other thing XDA allows that screws a company out there, then jump on this bandwagon, and lets get everyone using this app for free!

I like the idea of this app but like everything else with ESPN you have to talk to your cable service provider... Y not just let me pay for the app and use it What does my cable service have to do with my cell phone... Damn you ESPN

Gonna have to look into this

anyone ever figure this out. It would be great to be able to do this!

[Q] Tricky one .. how can I play videos overseas?

Hi.
I am based overseas and I know there are restrictions placed on video streaming outside of US. If there are some ways to bypass this restriction, please share .... thanks

Not sure, but I'd say VPN, but it's more trouble and costly than it's worth. And I always feel like the VPN servers are snooping at what I'm doing. :-D

I live in Japan and Unblock-us works great for me, we watch netflix, amazon videos, etc, very easy to set up and it works perfectly on Kindle fire.

Register on unblock-us for a one week trial, change your DNS with the ones provided and then, if you thinks it's worth it, pay for an annual subscribtion ( as I did ). And honestly is worth every single cent, since I can also stream HD videos on my PS3 ( using the Netflix app ) with no glitches or interruptions.

Hi! Like Stocaprimo said, you can try the service for free first, just go to their website, unblock-us. I tried for maybe 15 minutes just to see if it really worked and was very happy with it, I could watch Netflix on apple tv for the first time and on kindle fire too and it's only five dollars a month, I changed the DNS on my router (netgear)with the one they provided and now all the computers and tablets plus iPads work great, it's like we were back in the US. Hope it works for you.

I was facing similar problem as I am a big fan of US netflix but when I moved to sweden, was missing it. Then I tried various options to get access and thank God an expert suggested me unotelly. It is a DNS service, now I can get access to netflix, hulu and rest of the popular US channels without any glitch. try their free 7 days version and you will love it for sure. If you need any help, just let me know I will assist you to install it.

Any German Area Fire TV users who can provide ZDF Mediathek APK?

Hi guys -
I am switching back and forth between my old Nexus TV and Fire TV because ZDF or ARD apps aren't available in the Amazon US region.
The stuff that comes up when googling is fake, not for Amazon devices and requires Google Play services.
If anyone could make the APKs available I'd be most grateful.
Thanks!

Might be pointless. I could imagine there is a regio block...just my two cents..
Try a vpn that simulates Germany as your location.. It's worth a try..

Wow, You're the best rainman!
So ZDF (most important...) seems to work just fine.
ARD aborts with an error "You don't own this app", which kind of sucks, but oh well... I guess I'm going to watch more Heute than Tagesschau
Region-lock - The apps and programming is available in the Google App store and runs just fine on the Nexus Player (or in web browsers). It looks all good besides some Amazon nonsense enforcing ownership of the free ARD app. Does anyone know an easy hack-around? No big deal if not...
Cheers!

Perhaps you could simply buy this app via German-VPN-Server, e.g. Frankfurt ?

Yeah, already tried VPN. It depends on where the amazon account is registered and all hell broke lose when I switched to D.
Anyway, just found a solution.... Amazon seem to have released the Silk browser for Fire TV and I am now simply using the web site. Works great.
