Yeah, I finally got around to it.

Nah, I mentioned it to John, but he didn't seem to happy about the idea. It may get changed to xVST in the future, but, until then, we'll stick with the obscenely long full name

Could be useful, but I already have DownloadHelper on Mozilla Firefox.

...

Yeah, aren't there a few Firefox extensions that do this already? A browser extension is better than a standalone app for something like this, IMO...

Sad You get a .flv don't you? What if you prefer .avi\mp4\wma or don't run FFP )gasp(?

I'm lazy, so I use the Firefox on the college computers. But, I do use xVST.

DownloadHelper has a conversion utility too..

works with windows vista

So far it works well with Vista Ultimate SP1, and leaves nothing obvious behind.

Am downloading and will try soon. however would suggest to go ahead with the name change.

yeah I can see this program being very useful, and who wants to download another firefox extension that may not work with future Firefox versions? I don't install ANY firefox extensions that aren't already included with Firefox, for that very reason.

I only wish there was an easy way to remove the "YouTube" logo from videos without having to edit the videos entirely. I can see this being used only for good, because I have some YouTube videos about what life is like being blind, that would be a great help to put on my website, which you can't do easily without uploading the videos to your webserver directly, so I can see this being extremely useful to me for that reason.

(ok, sorry, didn't know links weren't allowed in sigs, it does not say in the rules, so thanks for informing me.)

Seems to work well...nothing

Seems to work well...nothing obvious left behind, one suggestion though, disable the update checker and auto-update installer by default.

I'll do a update in a little bit, maybe this week end (I has a computer back!) so I'll get a new version running and go ahead with the name change to xVST

Is there a reason these keys

Is there a reason these keys can't just be deleted? Will it mess something up with Windows?

Too much to handle I

Too much to handle I think...
the mru and muicache stuff really doesnt mean anything, absolutely everything that runs on the system will have an entry in one or both of those.

and

I think their names cant be generalised so the launcher would have to search for them which is difficult to code I think.

Hi Oliver

I was looking for this following up on a user query and noticed it's not on the test releases page. Are you still maintaining or dropping this?

Because..

I'll look into it in a few weeks when college starts and I'll have access three days a weeks for about 12 hours each, instead of my current once a week (cross your fingers) for an hour or two.

Sweet Laughing out loud Version 2.1 is the first non-alpha release (alpha/beta apps wouldn't be able to go official probably), and they're actually up to 2.2 now, which has support for RTMP (Adobe Flash) streamed videos. This is an awesome app, and I actually discovered it thanks to this thread. I'm going to install it locally for now, but hopefully it's not too much work to get it updated. Thanks for the great work Smiling
