The plugin is very much in beta, and I would really appreciate testing and better movie support. XPIs are just zip files. have a look at content/app.js for the code that does the work. Firebug helps. Also, it's checked into the "Source" section of this project. Here is my plugin on mozilla: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10475 You need to login (create free mozilla dev account), as it is sandboxed, this is the same as the one on the downloads of this project.

Honestly, I'm not sure I understand the point of veohproxy (seems simpler to just actually download veoh movies directly, rather then proxy through another layer) I think veoh doesn't support downloading the full-quality movie, anymore, at least in any way I have been able to figure out. The webtv thing seems to just stream lower quality FLVs. I worked out a new system, though, that is even simpler to use, and works without any extra software (python was tricky for my windows friends). It uses the ipod url (which is a MP4 file, or at least is named that way...)

Don't know any other way of contacting you. Anyway, I noticed that veoh has made some changes to their system. Does this code: http://code.google.com/p/veohdownloader/source/browse/trunk/veoh.py work with the latest veoh changes? I'm trying to fix gerkensm's veohproxy. He hasn't updated it for ages... Hope you can help me. Thanks in advance. Regards, Hello david.konsumer, First of all, this is not really an issue, more of a question, so sorry for posting it in here.

It's a simple firefox plugin that will allow you to download any http://www.veoh.com/videos/BLAH movie. It adds a link to pages it knows how to mess with. If you have know-how with javascript, especially firefox plugin development, make sure to look at the xpi, and add any improvements you come up with. Currently, it just grabs the ipod URL, which seems to be the only level of quality they offer for download. Ok, I added a new download to the main page.

Jan 21, 2009 issue 6 (Firefox on Ubuntu doesn't hadle veoh links) Status changed by david.konsumer - Yep, no problem, glad it works. This maybe should be filed as another issue, so other people can find it (speed.) I tested on a Mac and a Windows machine and my script was faster then the veohtv client, and the older official veoh client in both cases, so I guess it may just be a problem with the veoh servers. I have noticed that it seems to get in the groove on larger downloads, and picks up speed as it goes, so it may also just be that the test URL is so tiny. Status: Done Yep, no problem, glad it works.

This is the firefox issue I was talking about. I'm not sure why it doesn't just use veoh_downloader_gui, I am setting up the protocol handler according to their docs. The way I made it work is browse for the installed veoh_downloader_gui.py (in usr/bin) and after that it will use it. The attached screenshots are that workflow, in a default profile setup. To change the settings after this dialog has gone away, go to Edit/Preferences/Applications, and find veoh in the list, choose "Other" and browse for veoh_downloader_gui.py. Ah, right.
