Hi,

I had a script that I got from openjs for downloading youtube videos,
and it stopped working recently..  It appears that youtube changed
their code a bit...  I did some poking around and found the data that
I need, and it all works fine----- in the console, not in
greasemonkey.

It's hard to tell exactly what youtube is doing, but I am suspecting
they are doing their own sort of 'window.onload' event that happens
after the actual window onload event, and creates their 'yt' class
which holds the parameters that I am looking for.  So, basically if I
go to youtube, and in firebug I type:

yt.config_.SWF_ARGS

I get the params I need...

But, if I put that same thing in a greasemonkey script, it says yt is
undefined...

So, I am just wondering, is there a way around this?  I tried putting
a timeout in the greasemonkey script, but that didn't help... Anyway,
here is the code.

(function() {

        setTimeout(function() { get_video() }, 5000);

        get_video = function() {
                console.log('yes');
                var swfArgs = yt.config_.SWF_ARGS;
                if (swfArgs) {
                        var keys = ["video_id", "sk", "t"];
                        var params = keys.map(function(k) { return k + "=" + 
swfArgs
[k]; }).join("&");

                        //Create the link
                        var link = document.createElement('a');
                        link.href= "http://www.youtube.com/get_video?"; + params;
                        var txt = document.createTextNode("Download this 
Video");
                        link.appendChild(txt);
                        
document.getElementById('watch-player-div').appendChild(link);
                }
        }

})();
