How to download a movie from YouTube ?

MNPlight can download a movie from YouTube and import it in the iPod database.

  1. Use the YouTube application of the iPhone to watch the movie you want to download.
  2. Open MNPlight Youtube page: MNPlight reads the YouTube cache and displays the list of available movies, listed in decreasing view counts.
  3. For each movie, you have three links:
    • Play On Edge will play the movie in low quality.
    • Play On Wifi will play the movie in good quality.
    • Download On iPhone will download the movie in good quality to the /var/mobile/Media/MNPlight/video/ directory.
  4. When you download a movie, it can take a long time, because the server is sending the data at the speed necessary to play the movie. Once the download has been started, it can only be interrupted in the Download manager.

How to download a movie in Edge quality ?

The download link will download the movie in good quality. You might want to download the movie in low quality. For that:

  1. Use the link to play the movie in low quality
  2. Open another Tab in Safari, to MNPlight page
  3. Go to the Safari page in MNPlight, and use the Download button there.

How to watch or interrupt a download ?

During a download, interrupting the page download won't stop the download, so you can close Safari or move to another page. To watch the download progress or interrupt the download, you can use the Download Manager link.
