Extension: Download YouTube Videos

[David E. Ross]

The Download YouTube Videos extension no longer seems to work.  I think
this is a result of a change done at YouTube and not something in either
SeaMonkey or the extension.  The Web page in addons.mozilla.org
indicates the developer has removed the extension.

There is a work-around using Video LAN (VLC) from
.

1.  I start a YouTube video in SeaMonkey, copy the URI, and stop the
YouTube stream.

2.  After launching VLC, I select [Media > Open Network Stream] on its
menu bar.

3.  I select the Play button on the Open Media window and VERY QUICKLY
select the red Record button on the main VLC window.

4.  [The following applies to Windows' [Libraries > Videos], where VLC
writes the recorded file.  Similar methods should exist in other systems.]
a.  On the VLC menu bar, I select [Media > Convert/Save], the resulting
File tab, and the +Add button.
b.  Navigating to [Libraries > Videos] in the file-selection window, I
select the recorded file and select Convert from the pull-down menu from
the Convert/Save button using the down-pointing triangle.
c.  On the Convert window, I select the "Video - H.264 + MP3 (MP4)"
profile, navigate to where I really want to save the converted stream
file, enter my preferred file-name, and select the Start button.

5.  After checking that VLC can indeed play the converted file, I delete
the original recorded file.

I have HxD  which can do it too. I just find 
via command a bit more efficient. First thing I do on a Winbox is 
install Perl, grep, sed, and awk...just cannot stand powershell.

Dirk, have you compacted your inbox file since you occidentally 
deleted your message??


Normally, when you delete an e-mail, it is not actually deleted, just 
a bit of coding at the start of the message is changed to indicate 
not to display that e-mail as being in the Inbox.


When you "Empty the Trash", I'm guessing that bit of coding is 
changed again to indicate not to show the e-mail in the Trash folder, 
either.


When you "File->Compact Folders" then the e-mail is totally history!!

If you haven't "File->Compact Folders" since deleting the e-mail, I 
think the e-mail would still be recoverable by closing SeaMonkey and 
opening the file called "inbox" without the suffix and without the "" 
in a text editor (maybe save it somewhere else, first!!) such as 
Notepad/Wordpad and searching for some distinctive text (do you 
remember the Subject:??) and editing that message to make it visible.


I don't know what you actually need to change or what you should 
change it to  but, maybe, someone else will drop by with that 
information!




To add to what Daniel wrote IF you have not compacted folders there is 
a way to recover your messages. Also this only applies to POP mail 
which resides on your own computer.


SeaMonkey|Thunderbird uses mbox format for mail in which all the 
messages are in a single text file. When you move or delete a message 
the data is not really removed from the file but just a bitflag is set 
in the message header (again IF not compacted). Each message has a 
header and a line:


X-Mozilla-Status: 0001

The above means message has been viewed the next example below means 
it has been deleted.


X-Mozilla-Status: 0009

Reference for the flags is you are interested can be found here:

 



So with a simple search and replace you can restore your messages. The 
mailbox file often is too big for many text editors. It can easily be 
done with a regular expression using sed or perl.


For example with sed to recover Inbox on for account smtp.example.com:

1) First close SeaMonkey

2) Move to the mail directory in profile smtp.example.com in a 
command|terminal window


3) Enter command:

sed -r "s/X-Mozilla-Status: 0[0-9a-f]{3}/X-Mozilla-Status: /" Sent 
> Recovered


4) Start SeaMonkey Mail and in that account will be a new mail folder 
"Recovered" with all your Inbox messages set to pristine unread state.


In Windows you can install a port of sed, or use the regexp with some 
Windows app with such search and replace feature.


Note: I took the most conservative approach in not overwriting the 
original Inbox file. You can move mail by drag and drop to restore 
your messages or just delete Inbox file and rename Recovered file to 
Inbox.



Under windows, you can use: and change in the text-part instead of the 
hex-part..

So it's essential that you immediately disable the automatic compaction 
of folders. You don't want SM to compact the critical folder without asking.
