The UnUsual Suspect Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 It's possible that the website your looking at doesn't allow download of the media files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlashBoyz Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Thanks for your reply.. Well i know about certain web doesn't allow user to download their file, but in this web i use to download many video with it... Like youtube, using cometbird is best and faster to download any video without using any software downloader... But in my case, i can't use media files function at all...its just no files to choose...only capture option...either i tick or not, there is no files below that...not even word 'no media file detected' below that... Its something about tools that i turn off accidentally or something block it or what? Any idea why this kind problem happen? Thanks for concern my problem..

The UnUsual Suspect Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 can you give me a link to the page where the videos are? I can try it with cometbird and see if it works for me. That will tell us if you have somehow disabled something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 There are several different ways to "embed" media in a web page. Some of these, downloader utilities can handle. Others can't be. This has been the case for as long as people have been doing video on the web. Some sites or people don't want their video to be available anywhere else, or downloadable by anyone and so try to prevent it. This may not be a flaw as such, just a different way of showing the video, designed to foil downloaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section3 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 i'm also facing the same problem after i upgraded to cometbird version 3.6.15 it cannot catch any media on any site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 You should try downgrading to whatever version of Cometbird you had previously, and see if that still works where 3.6.15 does not. IF the previous version works, then it's probably something wrong with 3.6.15. If the previous version doesn't work either, then it's likely something else in your configuration, or something at the web site changed, possibly for the very purpose of foiling downloaders. Youtube hasn't done this, but it can be tricky and frustrating to set things up properly to be able to download their videos. I usually end up having to remove all of the add-ons, then reinstall them one at a time until I figure out where I went wrong and messed up the process. I end up with a couple of different downloaders active. (This is Firefox, not Cometbird). If one doesn't work (doesn't "see" something to download), the other usually does.

section3 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 It works when i uninstall CometBird and install the older version again, but CometBird upgrades automatically sometimes... I just wanted to inform u guys that there is a problem in the version 3.6.15 which not only I but many other users are also facing. Its not only the case for YouTube videos but version 3.6.15 cannot catch audio and flash files either. I've tried finding updates for the Add-Ons such as "BitCOmet Video Downloader" but no luck. So please see to it and corect the problem in the next release. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 In "Options>Advanced" on the "updates" tab you can select if you want cometbird to search for updates, and if you want it automatically installed if found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
