Bye Bye YouTube?

thanks

It's the directory that contains SageTV.exe.

The videos should be deleted automatically when Sage shuts down. If not, it's a bug. It's safe to remove them manually.

My Sage stays up 24/7. Any chance, on a future update, a menu item could be added that shows downloaded files, with the ability to delete them from within the plugin? Your plugin is a great addition to the plugin array, by the way

Tested the features last night, and it is working great!

It would be nice to be able to have a routine that downloads in advance new videos from a channel or playlist that has been marked as a favorite. I am envisioning a routine that scans the channel daily. The files would need to not be auto deleted upon closing SageTV. Many of my favorites have videos that are thirty minutes or longer, and having to wait for them to download prior to watching is a time killer. Any thoughts on how this could be accomplished?

I'll add something to deal with this. I'm thinking an option to delete the file immediately after viewing vs. deleting it when the JVM exits.

I'll have to think about this. When the open source version of sage comes out this will be a non-issue bacause it will support progressive playback. Looking at the bigger picture, I want to make it possible to set videos to record - meaning download and import as a Sage video or TV recording.

Tom, I haven't even downloaded this yet (been on vacation and stuff) but between this and your podcast recorder (PlayOn ), your plugins may have the largest effect on our household of any.

Thank you.

No need to download anything now, the plugin has been submitted to the regular plugin repository.
